I had a sensitive stomach as well as a child, which also manifested as "car sickness." But I suspect this was more due to anxiety from family issues.
I still have a tendency toward this issue. But most of the time I find that if I stay centered and don't succumb to life drama, I'm okay.

The older I get the more I hesitate when I have to go to places as simple and uncomplicated as the supermarket. Now in particular, all the nervous energy of fellow shoppers from the covid-19 pandemic affects me.
Empaths will feel the energies of others—especially the chaotic energy of mass gatherings such as malls, stores etc. The Covid-19 lockdown/mask situation is creating conflict between people which can be felt and is disheartening. I try to focus on wearing the mask as a service to others (because it makes most people feel safer), and maintaining a loving and accepting aspect toward all who are in the vicinity.
Also, it is good to set boundaries and limit exposure to suit your needs. But in addition, work on detachment (I do not mean not caring; rather, acceptance and not becoming enmeshed) to the human drama. As Ra puts it: Don't get "caught up in the maelstrom." It's easier said than done, but it is worth working on.
It might be worth considering that anything to do with the bowel may be about holding onto things.
The ho'oponopono prayer works well in some circumstances, when facing situations where one feels victimized, or the recipient of injustice of any kind, or even in the supermarket when feeling the "bad energy":
I love you
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
The reason I think this "prayer" works is because it puts the responsibility back on self. That is not to say self or anyone is to blame for anything. It just shifts the focus to meaningful considerations for self, and frankly can bring up feelings that weren't felt as yet.
As for these being Wanderer issues, it makes perfect sense. Empathy would certainly be awakened in a Wanderer. The stomach region would be a Yellow Ray area: identity in groups; relationship to two or more others. If a Wanderer is from elsewhere (planet; density; etc.), then interacting here in a "foreign" environment would logically be an issue. Interacting with many chaotic and survival-oriented anxieties would likely not be something an individual from a higher density would be "used to."
Bottom line is wherever an individual came from, the only thing to do is make the best of it, in my opinion.
So, treat yourself well, KaliSouth; take good care of yourself.
Thank you, Diana. Your message is very helpful. I do have a history of anxiety and depression; and a very stormy relationship with my parents. I do wonder if other wanderers have this feeling of being in society but isolated from it and unable to understand to full breadth of human emotions. This is not to say that I don't feel emotions, but that I don't understand the need for so much of it. Not in the sense of being a sociopath or a narcissist, but in the sense of wishing people well or being happy about things and not needing to be so expressive about it.
