Have you been diagnosed with Autism?? Because Autistic people are basically empathic. Emotional turmoil is a very unsavoury environment for them and being confronted (even in jest) is mentally and physically "Draining" for them
On the topic of "Draining" yes there are people who, after you spend some time with them, seem to leave you "Drained". Bullies, the insecure and (for me) the religious are the main culprits. I am thinking that it is the amount of thought and energy we use in trying to mentally "protect ourselves" is why we "feel drained" I have this issue with my father..(
Let's NOT go there)
There is nothing wrong with you. Wouldn't mind wagering that perhaps you will score on the "Autistic Continuum" somewhere in the Asperger's range. While I am NOT clued up fully on your situation or clinical history I understand what you are saying as both myself and my son register on the Autistic Continuum and my daughter has Epilepsy. These conditions require medical attention and monitoring. How is yours??
I have mentioned before how when you have a close emotional link to someone you will "sense" what they are feeling no matter where on the planet they are. Just what this is I have to leave to others who are more learned in this field than I am.
