well, first off this is really complicated, and being a psychology student, i have to mention first that nobody else can experience what u experience. issue: i am someone who will try to make a friend of an enemy that kill my enemy. i am an utterly happy person, meaning not jump up and down clowny happy, (sometimes hehe) no but i am spiritually happy and i love life. it is my gift and all of ours. i love people, i hate judging and everybody is worth a universe to me. i love humans, nature, everything. the list goes on, i adore life period. on the flipside, i habor a deep sadness, more than sadness, a sense that i can almost feel the evil in the world. i feel people suffer even if I have a good life, thank G-d, and i haven't suffered like many do around the world. my heart is broken into a million pieces when i look at the world. i feel like every suffering i see, homeless, in a third world country, mentally disabled, whatver, i just feel like grabage. i care deeply about things. why?

I'm the same way. One excellent way to stop this is to quit watching t.v. or reading the news. I've done it before and it worked. However, now I am a news junky. I've often wondered if God gave me an extra helping of sympathy or empathy. We are empaths. i just try to be grateful for it knowing that if I wasn't this way i wouldn't be who i am. In other words, even though it is upsetting it is also something to be grateful for because it means you are truly a caring person. Volunteer!

You are a sensitive person. Why not try to make things a little better in your own way? You could volunteer at a soup kitchen, join Habitat for Humanity or Meals on Wheels. You could help solve the problems in a personal way.

On one hand, you're a good person. On the other hand, you're highly sensitive, opinoinated and over whelmed and that it bothers you, to be so helpless in regards to doing something about the the suffering that you are bothered about. But who isn't?

It is called 'compassion'. It shows that you are not cut off from the world and that you value human existence. Be glad and rejoice. That which pains you and causes you to worry about others also allows you to enjoy your friendships and your God given blessings.

you are one of those people who is truely in touch with your feelings.you are very compasionate and caring. we need more people in this world like that. maybe it would be a better place then. i think everybody should be thankful for there time that they do have and help those that they can.

You know it`s normal.... You probably know few people like Yourself.... So, why asking? Do You mind being like that? ( I can`t help this, I used to be like You, but now I`m to become a lawyer.)
