Nope, you're not Betazoid, Deanna Troi, lol, I'm betting you are a "Highly Sensitive Person". There's a book by Elaine Aron, & she has a website too. I just finished reading the book, & it was wonderful at explaining how I am so aware of other people's feelings, & emotions. Also, how others energy can be completely overwhelming. I'm not sure sensitive is the best word, I think it's more "awareness of subtle changes in people's energy & emotions".
When you're in a crowded restaurant, are you aware of the couple way across the room that is having an argument ? When someone walks into the room, can you just tell their mood ? Are you very empathic & perceptive? Do you just know when someone is upset, even if they deny it?
There's also a book by Aron called "The Highly Sensitive Person in Love". I'm sensitive, H is not. 3 of our kids are sensitive, 1 is not. My D14's best friend is not, & my D couldn't figure out how come her best friend would be so mean & insensitive at times. When I explained this concept to D, she instantly caught on to it, & realized her friend isn't "wired" the same way. This information has saved their friendship. Her friend just can't help it, she's not "in tune" like we are.
It also helps me to realize why I get over stimulated in large crowds, or too much house noise, & H is oblivious to the kids noise.
Hugs.
So I am not crazy after all? My friends call me witch, my bosses ask me about people and what I think of them before they agree to something... Well, didn't help me much with my H but still, good to know there more of us out there (weird music playing).
Bridge, I am reading, following... Take your time and get yourself "grounded". "Overheating" never helped anyone... (I hope my English is just funny and not tragic), Take care, L&XXX K
