PS: I also have hugely overactive empathy. It makes me who I am, but I have way more than is practically useful. It doesn't take much to reduce me to tears. So I can... empathise with your empathy!
Thanks rob! : It does help to talk about it. It felt great to write that big post, and talk about how I feel. It is hard to pretend to be upbeat all of the time!
I'm the same way. I cry at the drop of a hat. I know there are many people out there with lots more empathy than is actually useful, I guess we balance out the sociopaths? lol.
