Empathy

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:
