brightrosefoxSomeone hurts badly, someone had a fresh emotional gouging wound reopen and spill and stain. Of course I sense and react without realizing. I forgot my shields again. Stupid silly girl, no wonder I feel sick.
Hm. What would you call a form of empathy that allows you to react the opposite or counterbalancing way to someone else? Like, feeling physical pain when sensing emotional stress, or feeling emotionally hideous when someone is physically hurting? It's been happening with alarming frequency and strength as of late. I have to remind myself that some of these consistent symptoms are not connected to a virus or infection. It's just the collective unconscious weight of humanity again. My species in general is a psychiatrist's what-would-you-do-with-a-billion-dollars dream.
