I feel what you feel

I've always been able to do this and I don't know if it's exactly normal. I'll give you an example. I was trailing my fingers lightly on my boyfriends forearm in hopes of tickling him. While I was doing it, I could feel the tickling in my forearm. Whenever someone threatens me with harm, I can almost feel it happening to me. Also, if one of my close friends is sad/in pain, I suddenly feel that way. If my friend is happy, I am too. I can almost always tell if something is wrong with someone. I hope this is a good enough description. Is this normal?

    I think this is a real condition, I read an article on it a few years ago where people would do things like see a bird flying and feel like they were flying too.

    Wow. I wish I could do that, although, whenever I hear someone has done something really bad I always imagine what it would be like if I had done it and I imagine why they did it and how they felt and in the end I end up feeling really sorry for them.

    Normal. You are just very sensitive- emotionally and physically. Don't know how common it is, but definitely normal.

    It's normal; many people can sense emotions of those around them, & the atmosphere affects you... Like in a funeral, because everyone's so somber, it's hard not to feel that way.

    aha i can kinda do it too if i think or do something to someone i know exacly how it feels and can feel it happening without actualy having it happen i know i can because ithought how it would feel to slice your arm and knew how it felt but just to be sure i sliced my arm to see if it was the same feeling and it was then i done it with a cig and it was the same
    and the sad or hurt thing about your friends its because you know your friends moods and how they act when they are in the same mood
    people have countlessly said they can feel how others are feeling emotionaly and when i said ok do it to me all of them got it wrong soooo ya know what im getting at
