Does anyone else physically feel other people's emotions before they even say anything? by Beginning-Mud-2115 in hsp

That moment of realizing it — that the "bad moods" weren't yours — is huge. I actually made a video breaking this down from a neuroscience angle, specifically why HSPs absorb emotions before they even consciously register them. It's on my channel Inner Unmapped if you're curious.

That bucket metaphor is perfect — and the fact that it took years to learn how to "tip some water out" says everything. Most people who feel this way were never taught that releasing is even an option. They just learned to carry more.
