No you are right it can be very emotionally draining and painful to be surrounding in large crouds, that is when you need to concentrate on yourself and your own emotions.
Like when you concentrate on someone who is across the room (to hear them) when you do this you are able to hear them clearly.
It is the same as empathy, if you block them out and know what you are feeling that is great. if you want to feel others feelings then concentrate on that specific person.
A tip, as an empath your own emotions effect others too, so if you are feeling over the moon, excited and happy, 'look at other's around you and see how they are affected, you rub off on them too'
I am an Empath. I am very sensitive to everyone's emotions but only in person, not over any computer etc. I am also sensitive to bad gossip and other negative emotions. I have trained myself not to be so gulliable, because when I was little I always believed everything people said. I am trying to train myself to have to easily sense others emotions. I do it with a friend and guess their emotion based on what I feel.
when someone else is crying i cant help but start crying even thought im not trying to and when my friend gets realy exited (and she gets extremely exited all the time i just feal exited eventhough wat she is doing i am not
imma empathy i think.. i always know how someone feel, because i feel the same myself. thats why its so hard at school. Theres a lot of peapole with problems there, so i always feel so depressed when im at school. its really hard. is there a spell or something to turn it off? pls message me
i didn't know there was a name for whats been going on with me. for years i thought i was cursed.i've come extremely close to being called a shut-in. i don't want to leave home becuase i can't control my emotions when i'm out.this all makes sense now. how do i learn to control my emotions and others. i would like to go out sometimes.i hate being home.docs said i was bipolar but this makes more sense than that.
its hard at school for me too cause they have lots of problems there aswell and now i am a pier mediator (someone who people come to if they have a problem) on the school playground i dont know how im gonna cope sometimes i might just have to walk out to stop cause they have to be quit close to me.
