Are you really sure they aren't YOUR emotions?
What I mean is....if there's one thing I'm noticing a lot of lately, is that the people we attract in our lives tell us a big old bold story about who we are. There's a reason why people are in your life, but a lot of times we are not aware of that reason or we resist it.
Do you think it's coincidence that you other people's emotions create an emotional reaction with you?
Perhaps, you're able to relate to the person who is going through a divorce because there is some unresolved emotion in you that is activated by that person's experience. See what I'm saying?
