I found out not too long ago that i have telempathy, i liked it at first but, now its just too overwhelming. I cry when people around me are sad but i dont feel sad enough to cry. Also, when i am not sad at all, i cry anway. Its not like crying, tears just run down my face. I have no clue on how to controll when i pick up on the emotions, or how to make my telempathic ability stronger. I also would like to be able to further my other abilities.
You will have to learn to distinguish your own emotions from those of others. Just let the others flow through you. It will probably take time and some studying of yourself.
What you need to do is to stay objective at all times. Unless you can sense the complete range of human emotion from joy to sadness, you shouldn't automatically assume you're sensing the emotions of others. why because you could easily be superimposing your own fragile mental state onto the circumstances. Question: When a couple is walking down the street do you sense the love they're feeling for one another, or when you walk past a playground filled with children do you sense the joy, and happiness they're each experiencing.

Yes i feel all of the emotions, but i dont mind the other emotions, or at leats the good ones. I am just having problems with the sorrow part.
Well If you're sensing the full gamete of emotions, then try your best to avoid the nightly news and other broadcast mediums which live off the tragedy of others. Hotwater
also, maybe try sheilding. just push some energy out into a bubble around you with the thought in mind to reduce or shut out the empathic interference. saves a lot of tears and headaches. I know
i think i have the same thing as you. but i dont think it has to do with empathy. i think you can sense on a deep deep lvl others persons mindstates, and whatever emotions you feel from it are in fact yours, but its deprived from the others persons thoughts. basically telepathy, but all your conscious mind is sensing is the emotion. but also like me i think its strange...how is if that you/i take in all of this but cant return it? do you think that one day you could just not take it anymore and send it all out at someone by accident and maybe harm them?...dont know, just sounds like it could happen.
yea, maybe not. but i know for a fact that empathy goes beyond imagination. even though i stop calling it empathy, but no problem right.
I have the same ability....but the trick is to know which emotions are theirs and which are yours. For instance, if someone lost a love one...keep in mind that the pain is there's and not yours..its ok to feel for them, but putting all those emotions on yourself when you may not even be involved in the situation is not wise.
I say learn from them, of course shield yourself so it's not so bad... if you wish to learn how just PM me I'll give you instructions but until then just learn from neighbouring emotions.
I am wondering if you have a strong neptunian influence in your chart I do...Sun/Neptune conjunction..the boundary lines between i and others sometimes get blurred Now I stay away from most people and build up my energy levels!! The other day I was at a circus with my son and a woman came and sat right next to me. I could feel her angst and had to tell her to stop talking to me in the end....she was draining me! If you cannot take on other peoples' pain without being adversely affected then you need to protect yourself. If not you may get ill. Take care of you first!!!
