Welcome to Gaia! ::

I wish I could block it, especially if I have friends really depressed. It's not that fun, unless they're reeeeally hyper. XD

I've been an empath my entire life. It has grown to the point where it feels like I can feel anything and everything from where I am, to very far away. I almost always know who's walking in the door, who's calling on the phone, and who's being overwhelmed by any kind of feeling. But now, I just casually use my empathic ability to find out which friend would be best to joke around with on any given day, and who to console to.

i think i'll steer clear of empathy for a while seeing what y'all put about it.

The reason I hate my empathy skill is mostly because I can always understand what other people are feeling and it gets frustrating when I tell them why they're feeling that way and they wont admit it. I'm very good at pin-pointing the reasons why someone feels that way but when they deny it the emotion kind of over-takes because I know I get frustrated when people wont accept their emotions and deal with them. College makes it worse; all my friends drink and I admit I do too to some degree because it dulls the pain of having to deal with other people's emotion and that kind of escape is never a good thing.

Some days I wish it would go away.
