emotional sensitivity and empathy

what is an empathic ability?

since thoughts are no more than chemical reactions at the brain and since all chemicals reactions generate outputs, the output of your thoughts is energy that travels through the molecules of the air and reach the outside world,that way your thoughts can reach people srrounding you, that's why sometimes you get depressed when sitting with a depressed person or get happy when sitting with a happy person, and that's why you can sometimes sense what's your partner feeling without using verbal or nonverbal communications .this ability is called empathy.

whats good about empathy?

the good part here is that the person with over sensitivity or whom is emotionally sensitive has an ability to sense others feelings much more stronger than the ability of other people. sometimes he feels down without knowing why while the reason may be just that his high sensing abilities sensed the feelings of someone else and so it appeared to him as if its his own feelings, after all when sensing what others feel you just find that your mood changes according to the mood of the person you sensed and that's why you should distinguish your feelings from others in order not to catch a bad mood without knowing why are you feeling so.

that's the same reason why small children catch the emotions of their parents, if parents are depressed, stressed or insecure this goes directly to their children and create an unpleasant atmosphere at their homes.

watch your feelings!!

being an overly sensitive person requires that you pay attention to your emotions and mood in order to know if they are yours or they are just because of your high empathy. now knowing that , know that your communication skills can boost since you have got this kind of insight which non sensitive people don't have, knowing what others feel can let you deal much more better with them which is an advantage to your over other people. after all your sensitivity is not bad ,its even usefull!!
