Do y'all ever feel your friends emotional reactions to music and art? When I listen to a song for the first time with someone who enjoys it, I can feel why they like or dislike it. I have a friends who can feel the emotion of the photographer when she looks at pictures.

Just wondering...

    I feel everyone's feelings, so yes I'm there with you on that.

    I find too that I can not be interested in things like say football, but get around someone who loves football and you can enjoy it for the moment.

    Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty tuned in also. It's one of the things that makes it possible for me to taylor my healing massage work for each client. I've come to know that this Awareness is very natural, but seems a little questionable since most of the world doesn't realize their connectionedness with all things in life or themselves as Life itself..

    Lately, I've been having moments where I wish I could turn it off but, then I remembre how painful it was to be more dense and armored and I quickly loose that thought.

    Yes, very much so. It can be more enjoyable, whether it was the author or not, even just others looking at it too, but with the creator, one gets a fuller appreciation of it. If find now when I email or PM someone I most often tap into the them to some degree. It was a real pain when I became more aware of it, on a Indigo site, when I started tapping into dark ones. I had to learn to how to put up shields and leave them up. So even here, I feel somewhat filtered, which is good. Unless I open the door more and feel safe, then I feel more.

    I have at times been to some place and thought how cool, wow, how nice, how beautiful and then gone home, and realized wow not so good, really bad or just why did I do or buy that.

    Sometimes it feels like my nerves extend beyond my body and I can feel the pleasure and pain of ALL...
    then I fall to knees, laugh and cry and let it go...
    it is all all I can do.
    the hardest time is when I am in a work or social situation-then I have to 'separate myself' if I cannot get out and away...
    sometimes it takes all my will to remain concious and functional when this happens
    Anyone else?

    I feel emotions from people, if I look for it. It doesn't have to be friends, actually I find it easier, if I don't know them at all. I guess, the closer I get to someone, the more I am aware of his or her emotions, and so to differentiate between his/her emotions and my own is more difficult.

    But I did succeed in this little experiment, that I found quite amusing. My kids father showed me a group photo of about 10 people he had been to a course with for a week. And through him, I could tell a lot about these people, their relationship status, their attitude towards the group work and overall how they interacted.

    I don't think, I got that from the picture itself but from the connections he had made with these people. I could follow the line from me to him to them, even to their significant others. There just has to be some kind of emotional connection.

      "the more I am aware of his or her emotions"

      Should have been: "The more I am in tune with"
      Because it gets kind of symbiotic, which is actually the opposite of being aware of their emotions. Sorry about that.

      My wife used to do more shiatsu therapy, now a school teacher, but she used to come home quite often and ask me what was wrong with this person or someone that this person knew. And I was able to scan and or etc and know what was medically wrong with them, and then what to do about it. I still can, I can even do it with many I email, or just know about. But contact in person is so much more real and stronger, but in any case it all seems to work and is correct. I do pick up other things, but it seems Dependant on what is needed or what I want or have set my mind to search for. I can be push away or attracted to people from their vibes, but usually it does not get more personal unless I think I might feel threatened on some level. Then I might pick up, feelings of danger from some individual or group, or feelings like they are not as they seem, they are druggie types, they are evil, they are ???? some, what every is possible. My set son had a girl chasing him, and he did not mind being caught and getting lucky sometimes. But she was a black hole, when she came around, I could not stand here around, it was like emptiness, like a black hole sucking in everything around it; she was very whacked out and on the edge of being really psychotic.
