I am so glad that I found this part of MW. I have always described myself as empathic but never thought of it in the terms as described here. My family life was never good and it effected my life personally. Until my parents split a couple of years ago - I went into a mini depression everytime they "split up" and not because of them doing so cause I wanted more than anything for it to happen, but because I would get so tied up in the feelings of those invovled that I couldn't take it. In the line of work that I do, it is very difficult to keep seperate. I go through everything they do, feel what they do, and know what they know (sometimes). If I am in a group of people I can pick up on what each of the people feel which is overwhelming in itself. I have had boss' think I am funny in the head because before they admitted to a problem I could tell them something was wrong just by "feeling" them. If I go into a room of unhappy people, I get a hug weighted feeling on my chest and I "take on" that feeling too even though I have no idea why. I have come to realize that I am gradually developing my higher self and the empathic aspect of myself grows with it.
So, I look forward to getting to more about Empathy and how to live with it from those who know and strive to know everyday.
