I Am An Empath

After spending the week with my soul-sisters, listening to them. Their heartbreaking events and conditions of their daily lives, my own soul weeps.
I feel them .. like it's my own sorrow.
As helpless as they are.
Is this just compassion? I wish.
I am trying to balance myself now.
I need my solitude to gather my energy.
I must detach. Till I can think clearly.
I feel selfish for doing so too!

Makes me wonder if that works on other things, do you feel joy as much. Or what about strange feelings from people who are weird like has a fetish. It does not seem like you could feel everything but I would not know.

@Subsumedpat Of course I feel joy and other emotions from others too. I can pick up on BS quickly as well. For fetishes... lol... they are normally a very private thing that is only released to someone of their own choosing. I am an empath not a mind reader. What a person portrays and how they truly feel .. sometimes are not the same. We all wear masks at some point. I see beyond the masks.
