I have always found people hard to deal with and social situations and all the usual things I guess but also have problems with feeling too much. Almost like anything I feel is amplified and at times it's like walking into a room causes all the feelings of others to wash over me and it has felt like I could feel what others are feeling.
i now almost seem to have closed myself off and am, I guess, colder than I once was. Coping mechanism I guess
However this always confused me in that I suspected Aspergers but associated that with a lack of empathy. Looking at studies seems to indicate there is a school of thought that too much empathy May be a trait in some sufferers.
Does anyone else have these issues?
Thanks for the link.
It is interesting that even in specialist areas like this website that there is a tendency to associate specific traits into a generalisation. Not all of us have the same issues. I guess it must make offering help to become harder as we all need different help for different issues.
But I am not the only one who feels things powerfully. That makes me feel better :)
