Having Too Much Compassion or Empathy

Having too much of both can be really draining to my energy level.
But I don't know how to stop! ( sound like an addict huh...)
It's like that though. I've never been religious in my life, my parents never took me to church, yet I suddenly over the past few years, feeling peoples pain and elation and everything in between, actually feeling it within my own body, has become more and more tiring. I don't have the patience for yoga...but almost anything else I am willing to try, if it will take away some or most of the empathy within me. It would be extremely relieving. Do you know of any tips?

 

Hm, over the past years Ive learned to not care about anyone except myself.

I used meditation, and quotes from the buddha and others. (that and I smoked alot of pot, did shrooms once and some other drugs.) in the end, Ive become a very non caring person. I love it.

 

pot or maybe a good trip?

if you never tried it b4

 

pot makes it SO much worse. that's why i prefer to smoke aloner. loser, man, i wish i had your outlook on life sometimse.

 

i now how you feel...but if you're too lazy for yoga you will be too lazy to discipline your mind...that is the truth....but dont worry you'll just end up bitter and twisted when you have nothing left to give

 

i get like that sometimes too buggin. sometimes to the point of crying. but other times im more like loserman. i guess that means im well balanced?

 

to hnugginbuggin:
Having empathy and compassion for others is a beautiful gift you possess. I know exactly where your coming from because I tend to be very empathetic myself. I know that it can be draining sometimes, but try to use this gift to make a difference in someone's life or in the lives of millions. Who knows what one person's compassion and empathy can change?
