Empathy

Hergé

Hi,

I apparently according to a psychologist I have hyper empathy and alexithymia which is an interesting combination.

Is anyone else in a similar situation and how do you cope/deal with it. I'm trying mindfulness but it not easy as I can't "turn down" the internal "static".

  • Hi I am not sure how you would deal with this apart from removing yourself from highly emotional situations and or avoiding highly emotive topics like the news. I experience hyper empathy too, you are not alone.

    Here is some information about autistic hyper empathy and also a video:

  • Il ooked it up yes that affects me as well slightly as i somtimes am a tumbiling rock not know which direction to turn its hard to please all the people all the time just please your self and be a little selfish as i know its an aillen concept but to grow you needs lots of good times that fill you with happiness  then you can radiate the love to other people and be in the ok corral sales term look it up my thourghts for what there worth 
  • I can feel like this the hyper empathy  i dintnt undersgtant the second word i wll look it iup yes i can relate i go around try to fix things and sometimes i get hurt for my trouble you have to exsperiance good and bad to grow or you vegetate and become very sad i try new thikngs all the time sometimes to my detriment but you bounce back in another form its easyer as you get more exsperiance and older
