However, for me, feeling too excited or crying too excessively for any cause result in headaches, loss of sleep, and sometimes loss of appetite. The current method I use to remove excess emotions is praying. Can empath ever be too much for a person spiritually? Can this tendency be positively utilized in other ways?
hmm I believe that you can use empathy in many different ways. For the time being right now... I tend to close myself off to people with alot of emotion or are very identified with the ego. I'm sure you can utilize empathy in tons of other ways...usually I call it having a good connection not really empathy. When I deal with strong emotion ect. I usually either watch it...or go do an excrusiating exercise (running ect.). As for utilizing it in other ways I'm not quite sure I can help you there. Good luck.
