Unseen_Abilities Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Is anyone else empathic? This has been a burden for me and I didn't realise it for a long time - it's more under my control now so it's okay, but it's messed with me in the past, taking on peoples stuff at the physical level...for example, it screwed with my training and messed up my stances, making me feel way too unstable for someone who does as much grounding as I do (read: I do grounding exercises more or less every single day, often twice). It was also responsible for a bunch of posts I made on the internet a while ago when it went haywire, before I realised I was empathic. Like I said, I have more control over it now so I'll be fine. Anyone else? Share your experiences. Edited July 21, 2014 by Unseen_Abilities 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 21, 2014 Not really but I do know the feeling and I know what you are talking about. And yes, if we allow it to control us it will indeed mess up our life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Answers Posted July 21, 2014 Busy streets can be a bit much. Being on stage too...it's like feedback...sensing everyone fixed on one point, you. Some people love that feeling of being in the spotlight.. It gives them power. I can never handle it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh Posted July 21, 2014 I think Im pretty empathic that is to say, I read people accurately , at least I think so , I dont really know But considering that ,, would yall say its natural , or is it unnatural , to keep ones sentiments to oneself. To control what we say and do , in light of what we think someone else would like to hear or believe. ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more unnatural to always be set in one mode of thought . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wangchungman Posted July 22, 2014 I understand this feeling. I feel like the other person feels and that takes me away from how I feel. Then I don't know how I feel. I think this is the beginning of an advancement. We have to feel more fully how others feel without feeling lost. Perhaps we have to let go of ourselves even more and then we can feel more stable. I don't know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
