Do you feel other peoples pain or discomfort a little too much? I am the kind of person that if you start throwing up I may start throwing up.

If someone gets hurt I swear I can almost physically feel it myself. I was thinking of my sister the other night and I remembered a time where we had a bunk bed and she slept on the top bunk. We were sleeping and in the middle of the night she got a bloody nose real bad. She crawled down and woke me up, I didn't know it was a bloody nose in my head she had fallen off the bunk and there was blood everywhere. I jumped out of bed screamed stood up real fast and passed out. My Mom came running in and found my sister covered in blood and me passed out cold on the floor. I can only imagine what she was thinking at the time, but it makes me laugh thinking about it now.

I wish we could repair our relationship, and even though she can't accept me for who I am I still love her very much and miss her and just have to come to a place of acceptance that I can't do anything about it (no it's not something that can be repaired right now)

I do when my shield isn’t strong enough to fight my high empathy for others. Some have said it’s a gift to be able to feel what others are feeling, especially when they’re not vocally putting it out there, but it’s more of a curse when you experience it too often.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart yes, it can be hard to handle.
Not sure I feel their pain or emotions. I think possibly sometimes I care too much and I feel things deeply. If they hurt and I know it, I hurt too

@Bexsy yes, I definitely seem to take on peoples hurt in my heart too.

Im empathic yes.
Often I feel numb. I can be good in a crisis as a result though.
I'm that same way I could never watch America's Funniest Home Videos because of so many people getting hurt doing dumb stunts.

@NativePortlander1970 When ever I see those fail videos I swear I cringe in pain sometimes.
@SlippingAway As do I, I always get a cold chill and shiver down my spine whenever someone wipes out, specially a kid, I swear CPS should have been called on those parents that video recorded them, I think most were staged to fail to get on that show.
