Why do I take in any feeling from others around me? I can like experience what other people feel like.?

Question

I have always been able to read body language and now its grown into something else! Anyone else ever experienced this before?

Answer 1

All the time...

Empathy... they'll try to break you of that in medical college. It's linked to compassion for others, and something we need more of in this world.

Answer 2

Wow, interesting...

I think it's mainly because you are sensitive to your perception of the atmosphere around you. Body language is one thing, but you also probably unconsciously read things like voice tone. Yup, then you imitate these emotions in yourself.

I can't, however, say that you are experiencing the emotions of others. For example, if you were around someone with a physical disorder that led them to twitch their muscles once in awhile, you'd probably feel awkward because of his muscle twitches even if the other person isn't.

Hmm... there isn't really much more to say if there's no more information...

If you'd let me ask you one question:
Do you care a lot about what others think of you as?

Answer 3

You are probably designed to be a councelor or advocate, you are a naturally intuitive spirit

Keep practicing your gift so it can continue to grow, like exercising a muscle. If you live your life in a way that is a great example to others, you will be easy to trust and receive, which will give you a certain amount of authority which is not to be taken for granted. The world needs more people with your type of gift, use it wisely =)

Answer 4

Yes, you are an empathic sensitive. You are probably one who doesn't like to see others suffer and often want to do something about it. If you don't feel that way now, you probably will eventually. This is the universe telling you what your role is here so you can begin to discover ways to show compassion to the people you sense are in pain or are suffering somehow.

Answer 5

That's empathy. I've been blessed/cursed with this too. I try to keep a rein on it though. It doesn't always work. I'm also a big crybaby. I can't watch orphan commercials or those "save the children/feed the hungry" commercials either. You can hold it back with practice, but don't shut it out, or you risk losing your humanity.

Answer 6

Hi,
You are just very intuitive. That can definitely be a real burden. I have it too, but I found that when I use it in my work it can help me in many ways. I believe the key to overcoming the negative sides of this gift (that's what it is, not everybody has it!!) is to use it in your advantage.

Good luck

John Coffee (just like the drink, but spelled with a K).

Answer 8

I know with people I am very close to (i.e. best friends) that we have a connection where I know and feel their emotions no matter how far apart we are. The bible calls it a "soul tie".
