Comments for The Difficulty Of Being An Empath: Page 1

Glenda,
Another thing. I've sensed the man in the past, dismissing it. Little girl, I'm clueless. Never sensed her. Either her energy level was too low for me to sense or she is not who she claims to be. I hope this paranormal research does find information, at least it will relieve my mind. Although, my gut feelings are normally correct. Not to say, I will never be wrong though. Oh well.

glenda,
You know with the little girl and man in my house? I'm really stumped about little girl. Don't know why it's getting to me. She shows herself to my son at times. I told him "never" to talk to her. Even though she plays with my hair, I've still got a bad vibe. My son, on several ocassions, runs in room and tells me a woman is trying to talk to him. I know spirits/ghosts voices sound different, but I still wonder if she is who she poses to be. Being careful. My son told me yesterday, after he heard the woman's voice again, "I hope that witch lady isn't back". His 6th sense is going to be so much strong than mine. I can feel it.

Mysti - I am working on it, fiction. Summer is flying by. Hope your summer is good too!

hey glenda,
Keep missing you. Waking up later lately. Hope you are enjoying your summer. Know you've been busy. I thought I saw some where you are writing something? Hope your end results are terrific.
I've thought about writing a fiction book, sort of thriller-angelic, with a twist of my real life events. I have not really decided yet.
Well, talk to you later.

Sometimes being sensitive is good - it can warn you about bad people or situations. Sometimes knowing ahead can make things a little boring, so not trying to peak is good too. I guess feeling people can be blocked to a degree. Years ago, I felt like a put a wall around myself of some kind, to block out thoughts and feelings of others. My own are junky enough without being distracted with those from others. It's a type of filter thing in a way. I let in what seems helpful and try to block everything else. A sense of humor and setting life goals keeps me from being overwhelmed at times when the odd things happen.

Well I'm sure feeling her emotions if that is what it is. Is not being intrusive sometimes you just need to go with the flow if you feel you should go talk with someone maybe you should but also just use common sense probably right then you made the right decision.

You have a lot happening here, and I comment only becaue I too am very intersted in other replies to your experiments and questions!
As far as empathy goes-I have MANY questions myself.
I've always been very "in tune" with people's thoughts and emotions, been told it's like I can "read their mind" of what they are thinking or feeling, or that I "always say the right thing"-but I always thought of it as me being a very intuitive person perhaps?
Last Sat., as I drove through the cemetary to check on my sister's gravesite (I often change flowers,etc.) I passed a woman sitting on a fresh grave. They must have just buried the person that day as all the flowers were still there on top of the soil. I felt sorry for her, and wanted to acknowledge her if she looked my way. She did and I nodded my head and offered a small smile as if to say "I know what you're going through" and our eyes met and all of a sudden a rush of emotions flooded me and I felt overwhelmed by sadness and fear and confusion... It hit me so hard I had to pull my car over and just sit. I started crying and shaking all over, at times unable to breathe because the emotions were so consuming. It took me several minutes to compose myself and be able to drive again.
I was very confused by this-never saw it coming, took me by complete surprise. Part of me wanted to get out of the car and go talk with the woman sitting on the ground, but then I felt as if I'd be intruding on her mourning process. But the question is-did I already intrude? Did I indeed "feel" her emotions that day? Or did I experience something else? It was powerful.
I would appreciate anyone and everyone's input please! THANK YOU! Sue
