I been doing some reading and found that psychic shielding can help block out some of those emotions and pains that we pick up from others. For those of you who feel you need to do this look up psychic shielding for more information.

I am empathic also. It seems I have problems with relationships as well. If I sense negativity emanating from someone, I get a prickling sensation on my skin. When this occurs, I notice who I am with or who has just entered the room and see if I can sense who it is aimed at and if it is intentionally or unintentionally directed at me; mostly it is unintentional.

Empaths need ways to keep other energies from mingling with their own, especially unwanted, negative energies and emotions from people, particularly strangers. Even family. I read in a book that when we interact with each other there is some form of energy exchange between the people present. According to this book, the energy can be grounded in various ways. Also, some energy exchanges are benefitial to all, leaving no one drained or with a headache.

I have always been called overly sensitive but now I know it is being a empath as I would pick up on other peoples feelings or moods around me. I control it a little better now that I know what it is but, it use to make me cry alot and I couldn't get things done when I was weighed down with other peoples emotional turmoil. Especially where I use to work as I seem to have a mirror around me and people could see what they truely were. Some people are alright with that but others just use to attack me verbally or mentally cause they didn't like what they saw. I think it is a defence mechanisum I came up with subconsiously when I was really young.

I pick up on my partner and sons moods daily, just last night it caused us to have a fight. Well not really cause I saw what was happening so I went to bed really early and watch TV to calm down as I was so angry at him. It is funny that I should pop into this topic as I mentioned to some one earlier The Celestine Prophecy: An Experiential Guide. I know it is all about auras and that kind of thing, but there is one thing that stuck in mind when I read it ages ago and it was how peoples auras react to other people. Say for instance when you or someone you are talking to is angry or dominering their aura gets bigger and makes yours smaller...If that makes any sense at all, I think it is the same with empathy. Some people project their feelings or Moods without knowing and makes it easier for us to pick up on. Every body has a small amount of empathy, it is what makes us human but some of us pick up on it more then others. Well I definately went of on a different track there sorry, my brain has been doing crazy things of late.

I'm always feeling what others around me feel
Sometimes a stranger will come up to me and I'll start to feel the pain at times so strong that I'll start to cry. That person will almost always ask whats wrong and I'll start off by saying to them I know your pain I can feel your pain and I'll tell them in detail what there pain is.
Meaning for example if they had a truamatic event in there life I will tell detail for detail what there truamatic event was.
Lot of times they get scared hearing me tell them about there pain but I dont even realize I'm telling them.
I always live a very dark gloomy life and it does drain me bad especialy since I only sleep about 4 to 5 hours at a time.
Does all this I discribed sound like being an Empath.
Any ideas Welcomed couse I have no idea what this is I go through
