Is it normal that i can feel others emotions?

This isn't just empathy if that was what you were thinking. The only way of me describing it is through examples. When I am watching a movie or tv show and someone is crying, immediately my eyes tear up. When I am shown images or someone is explaining a medical procedure, I can feel that part of my body they are working on feel heavy and weak. When someone else faints, I blackout. When someone else vomits, my stomach instantly feels bad. If someone is being bullied, I picture myself as that person and I will cry without realizing what I'm crying about. What is this? And is it normal???

    I still think a few of those are empathy. Not sure about the medical procedure one, though.

      Yeah, I agree, some of them are. I just find it kinda strange that I can feel it so strongly to such an extent!

    There are lots of things that are uncommon that people have or do , that they were unaware there was others like them ( or they only knew of very few ) before the internet . ASMR is another one . On the Internet you can talk about uncommon things with out risking your job , social standing with people irl . You can change your screen name and not worry about being labeled as strange or weird the rest of your life . And once you start to find others like you and talk about it can help you in so many ways you never dreamed of .

      That is so true it is unbelievable. It is somewhat sad. I do go to the Internet for almost all my problems cause no one wants to hear my rant of facts and thoughts. It helps, but it also is a bad way to express social skills.

    In any variable (such as how much empathy someone has), there must always be an extreme case, someone who falls outside the norms. Perhaps it's you.

      Well now that I looked it up, at least I know what it is and that other people have it...not many. And the weird thing is no one knew what it even was until just recently!
