weird or naw

how many of you physically absorb or energy of those around you (if you call it that, it might be something else). not like taking their energy, but like you feel a weird sensation through your body, not every time but a lot of times if someones close by without actually seeing hearing or smelling them etc? im told its anxiety but i do think so because i don't be feeling anxious

Not weird at all, I'm use to feeling others moods.

I def. know what you mean. If it's somebody I don't know that well usually I can tell because something is off about them. People I work with for a while or get close to I can literally feel "vibes" coming off them. Some people it's not that much some people it's overwhelming and I have to step away from them. This weekend my friend's cousin from France sat next to me and I could tell she was in a happy, open yet a tiny bit nervous but overall good/sweet person because she sat next to me and it was like a wave of air of goodness hit me if that makes sense. On a different note I remember at an old job my manager was updating the store and you could tell was stressed, a little scared and frustrated. She would stand next to me and my upper body would buzz and not in a good way. I was like no offence but I can't stand near you right now until you settle down haha.

It's happened with lots of other people but those are just examples. Usually I have to leave the room for a bit or walk away until they settle down. Usually I can stop it by saying no and pushing the energy back or giving it back. I def. need to look more into protecting it and whatnot though. I'm glad others experience this!

Have you ever been able to settle somebody down without having to hug them or rub their arm or something? I have been able to get my energy to a point they hit mine and relax and calm down after a few minutes. I have to be in a strong mood that day though otherwise it doesn't work that well.

...picture a large pitcher of water spilled on the counter. (the water being people in a room)

...now picture a sponge or paper towel cleaning (absorbing) up that puddle on the counter. (i'm the sponge/paper towel in the room)

It's not anxiety, but it sure can be a big pain in the ass sometimes.
