Below is an Inspiring post from a blog by Lindsey McKeon and a link to The Spirit Science & Metaphysics website. Exploring this info has kind of opened an area in my mind and helped me understand the feelings you get when you are around certain people. I have always wondered about this ... Lindsey draws from a new study that links social anxiety to being an Empath, which means you literally feel what other people are experiencing emotionally. I don't know if I totally believe in all this, but I don't think I have to believe in it completely. I do feel there is something to this. This has happened to me many times and I really never understand why, still don't. The insights from Lindsey and Spirit Science & Metaphysics website give you something to think about.
EMPATHY, INTUITION, AND YOU by Lindsey McKeon
Empathy, Intuition, and You. It took me a while to realize that the awkward, uncomfortable, feelings I felt around certain people and groups were not actually coming from me. Instead I was being overloaded with feeling their thoughts and emotions.
Now I am aware when someone comes into my space how different their energy might feel than my own, or how different that I initially feel around them. This awareness is a little red flag that helps to keep me feeling safe in my own space.
By staying grounded and visualizing a connection to the earth through my feet, I feel more centered. An empathic connection to others is a gift, so long as we don’t lose our own selves in the process.
