Social Anxiety/Empath Stuff 

Does anyone else have the frustrating tendency of being so receptive other people's emotions that you're constantly questioning whether your feelings are actually.. well... your feelings?

@Roady_Dragonfae Yeeeeees. I used to have this /constantly/. Still do sometimes (I still vastly over-read body language and tone), but the only thing that ever dampened the feeling was starting on antianxiety meds.
Doesn't mean all of the effect was /just/ my anxiety, but it still helped.

@emanate I hear ya. I've found that taking CBD capsules helps a lot. It really sucks without it because I start feeling like my mind is being hijacked.
