I've known some that don't seem to be at all.

I think it burns a hole in your psyche to function on that level too much. It's better to have control over it - to be able to shut it off fast. It can make a person feel crazy if they're around a crazy person, for example, which is fine if that just functions as an alert that the other person is insane so you know to avoid them, but you have to turn it off ASAP or that will make you feel very sick and be weakening and create second-guessing (thinking their state is your own).
