“Or, more honestly, I felt the discomfort of the others, like rays of negative energy surrounding me, and I had an overwhelming need to make a joke, to break the ice, and to make everyone feel at home, not for their sake, but for my own.”You are sensitive to other people’s feelings. You need to put up some mental shields to protect yourself from “negative energy”. You already use physical shields, like being anonymous in a crowd, or barricading yourself in your office. xxJuli Ryan posted |
