Empathy

I'm one very empathetic person. I know what's happening between people before they know it, which is a lot of fun sometimes. I even sometimes know what I myself am going to feel soon, which I don't always realize right away. When I spend more time in a room full of people who are being nervous, I start getting nervous too - for no real reason other than my body getting those nervous vibes, and this one is never too much fun. But all in all, I am thankful for being that, because it looks like it's quite rare, and I believe with time I'm learning how to use this to my advantage.

  1. Wow, we are so alike Julia. I also am very empathetic. That's why I try as much to avoid negative people as I sometimes absorb the negative vibes. But a priest-friend taught me what to do in cases like that... I am a Catholic and I believe in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. So I always ask to be shielded and protected.

    Have a great day! xoxo

  2. You know, I think it's one of those things everyone has the ability to tap into, but most people never take advantage of. But I know what you mean... If you're in a room full of happy people, it's hard for it not to catch on, and if everyone's gloomy and depressed, you start feeling a little blue too =)

  3. Sounds like a gift and something you really recognize. I would definitely say this is something to be thankful for because non-empathetic people are never very kind to be around :(

  4. ..I agree that if there is negative vibe around we start to feel that as well , it's like passing negative energy to the others and then it's better to leave ..it's very interesting quality you have , it's almost like reading some other persons mind : )
    for me , I am a bit scared from energetic vampires ( one of my old friend is one ) , it's like 1 hour and I want to run from her ,because I' m totally excausted ..

    about flights - it's better safe then sorry , that dust( or what it is !)is VERY dangerous for planes..we are fine , we are at home , but I feel so sorry for them poor people who are stuck in airport ..
    Have a sunny weekend : )))

  5. I am the same. It's a gift and a curse all rolled up in one. But if you learn how to use it, you always get the gift side. And of course, being the naturally thankful person you are, you'll enjoy the blessings of it!

  6. I tend to mirror people as well, and it's difficult when the vibe is awkward.

    It sounds like you're also super intuitive. This is a woman's gift, stronger in some than others. The force must be strong with you, Julia oh Julia.
