Agoraphobia in regards to Wanderers

[xise]

I am deeply empathetic. Parties often jar me for the first 10-20 minutes, then I adjust to the often chaotic energy. Individuals with strong emotion/energy do the same to be in small settings.

I have found however, that although I feel the feelings regardless, if its an emotion that I am close to balancing, the feeling is no longer discomforting. In fact, it feels as if I am a part of the other person experiencing that uncomfortable or negative emotion and help the person dissipate it. I don't know how better to explain it other than that.

However, that situation is rare for me. Most of the time, the strong energy/emotion I get from the other individual puts me off balance, and I feel stuck with more balancing of myself to do, and overall it just feels shitty.

So I guess I can say that I understand what zenny is saying from personal experience. It's almost kind of like how negative contacts occur when there is a chink in your armor, my seemingly naturally empathetic abilities are only uncomfortable if I haven't really fully balanced that emotion, and in fact when it comes upon an emotion I've made significant work on balancing, I almost feel as if I am crystal helping the other person dissipate those energies. Unfortunately, this only seems to work with depressive feelings (I have wayyy too much experience in that haha). However, for me, anger, frustration, and irritation still sends me in a spiral.
