You: Your whole life, even before the pandemic, you would feel stressed all the time. A main reason is that other people’s feelings impact you profoundly. You experience their feelings more intensely than they do. Sometimes, you can channel it so this helps you connect with people, but most of the time, you end up swirling around in your own complex feelings. This has happened with practically everyone, and you can’t shut it off. The vast majority of your experience is interior. You often feel tired, and you know that this is a big reason why. Other times, you feel angry, even if you have no idea why.
