Are you sensitive to other peoples emotions?

Question

Some call it empaths or highly sensitive people.

Answer

I consider myself highly sensitive to energy, not just emotions.

Answer

VERY. 
But Not just people , I’m like that with animals , nature , even myself for ex when I get hurt like a cut .. 😭
I have way too much sympathy & empathy and I feel that it’s apart of my purpose in life. 🤞🏼 
I was/am always the person people come to for comfort/nurturing, reassurance, to feel better , for encouragement, or plain advice.

Answer

I've heard something recently that made so much sense but sadly I forgot who said it.
Basically, if a child has an unpredictable adult in their life, they become hyperaware of emotions around them to identify a dangerous situation and run before it happens. They grow up to be sensitive adults, ideally without all this fear. Also, their senses are always drawn to the NEGATIVE emotions in the room (because this is where the "danger" is) that's why so many sensitive people seem to attract the broken ones like flies, and also why broken people are often very sensitive.
Idk about you but this hit home for me

Answer

Almost all people will claim to be, while also being highly critical and judgmental of others. People who really are won't claim to be. The only two people I've ever met who proudly declared themselves to be sensitive to other people's emotions or "empaths" were abusive narcissists.

Answer

Generally, yes. But, sometimes it also depends on who the person is & what the circumstances are.

Answer

Yes and sometimes I'm not able to be around certain people because of it. Some people have really bad energy because of the bad things they think about and bad activities they take part in.

Answer

I picked up on a weird vibe from my old science teacher when I was in college. He had taught me maybe two years before but we'd still chat or he'd pop into my English classes in college to talk with us/ the teacher about books etc. I had to ask him to unlock the classroom because my English teacher hadn't arrived yet. Very few words spoken. Still something wasn't right. I debated saying something but I was just a student so not really my place plus being autistic I figured people would tell me I must be wrong because "emotions aren't your strong point". It bugged me all day though and I did voice it to friends who said I probably misunderstood it. Another joy of autism- no one trusts your insights with emotions
He killed himself that day. Hung himself on a hiking trail that we had talked about before. And I kicked myself for so long for not trying to say something. January 16th it happened and I think of it every year
I try to follow the instincts now when people seem off now. Sometimes I come across as nagging because of it but I think I'd rather nag or have a false alarm.

Answer

No, but my husband and especially my daughter are. They can pick up on other people’s emotions easily and are very effected by it.

Answer

Honestly, no. I’m autistic though. I don’t understand other people well.

Answer

Not to people but maybe animals lol. That's why i don't eat them.
