I\u2019ve seen very little talk about hyper empathy so here\u2019s some examples of it:<\/p>\n

it can feel like the emotions of others are permeating a space and\/or spilling into you causing high anxiety even when they\u2019re not directed towards you\/you\u2019re not expected to react to them.<\/p>\n

some people experience it by not being able to handle world tragedies or negative news reports because they feel a highly personal connection to the pain in those people with no way to help them.<\/p>\n

it can also be empathy directed towards objects or animals that seems disproportionate to others.<\/a><\/p>\n

this is something that a lot of autistic people deal with, so it makes me sad that I\u2019ve seen basically no information about it in the communities on here<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I would write a lot about this right now but I don\u2019t have the right words stored in my brain yet. \u00a0But this is definitely a thing and I\u2019ve been writing about it for years. \u00a0It can be part of being\u00a0\u2018sensing\u2019 which Donna Williams wrote a whole book about. \u00a0It can also be part of other things. \u00a0The writing is out there, it\u2019s just hard to find unless you know where to look.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2026Oh, wow, I had no idea some of these things were a hyper-empathy thing.<\/p>\n

I often<\/em> end up experiencing a feeling similar to sensory overload when I overhear people yelling angrily at each other. Or even, in some cases, when seeing angry back-and-forth conversations on Tumblr. Somehow I never managed to connect this to hyper-empathy, but it totally makes sense in retrospect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I was a kid whenever I broke pencil lead I had to rub the tip of the pencil to make it feel better. I still do this, but I\u2019ve also gotten much better at not breaking the lead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
