Hearing people argue makes me feel phyically sick. Is that normal?
I'm not trying to be dramatic but I physically feel sick when people argue. Hearing it makes my chest actually start to hurt and I get twitchy. I sometimes find myself being overly nice and agreeable and keeping my true feelings to myself just because the feeling of confrontation or disagreement makes me feel sick-literally. Even if I am not involved it makes me feel so sick. My chest and my stomach starts hurting.
Does anyone else literally feel people's pain?
I have a very strange ability. Sometimes, when someone is in pain right in front of me, I can honestly FEEL their pain. My friend's foot was run over by a car while I was with her, and suddenly, I could feel her pain in my foot. My dad was stung by a jellyfish on his arm, and I could feel that pain shooting through my arm. There have been many other instances like this. Does anyone else have this ability?
Feeling non-existent...is this normal?
i don't know, sometimes i feel like i don't exist. as if i'm watching my life go by, and i can't say a word. people say i look depressed, yet i feel emotionless. i feel like i am in someone else's body, and i wasn't meant for this life. i don't exist, and i only do, for only a small bit, but i don't like existing, so i'll "crawl" back into my non-existent hole in life, where i'm invisible. but people see me, but not the one that truly exists. because i don't. people talk to me, but i alwasy feel empty, no happiness, no sadness, no anger, etc.. just numb. i use to be a cutter, because i was depressed, sometimes i feel like going back, just so i wont be numb. but i won't, because if someone finds out... then i'm a gonner... i dont know, is this normal? please help!-thnxx xoxo by the way, i'm a teen who just got out of an abusive relationship with a friend, which then turned physical... with is one of the major resons why i feel this way, but other things too, that i don't even know about... i dont know if this helps but... thnxx lotz of luv! xoxo :)
I Get Physically Sick When I See Her With Another Guy, Is This Normal?
What you're feeling is love sickness. It's a combination of jealousy, rejection and a feeling of loss. You're also in a state of mourning. We mourn those we cared for and have lost. Often mourning is used to describe loosing someone who's died, but really it's any sort of great loss. Mourning is a process and it takes time. As for jealousy, this is a normal emotion. Jealousy is negative, but it only becomes bad, if we act upon this negative emotion. Otherwise it's just a bad feeling. Just don't let it turn into a bad action. You've been rejected. It hurts us to feel rejected. Being reminded of this rejection, by having to see her be with other guys, only intensifies those feelings. You will stop feeling rejected, when you begin to move-on and eventually feel accepted. It usually takes up to half as long as the relationship lasted to get over someone and move-on. Some people move-on much quicker, which is why I say "up to" half as long. If you were together a year, it could easily take up to six months for you to recover. Consider this relationship rehab. You're addicted to love and you're going through serious withdrawl. It will take time to recover. When you've recovered you'll be healthy again, and you'll be able to move onto a new healthy relationship. If you move on too quickly, we call that a rebound. Rebounds are bad, because you're not healthy yet. You're trying to find a substitute for someone, rather than loving this new person for who they are. You end up infecting this new relationship with the break-up and hurt feelings of your last. You can't truely give your heart to this new person, because you still have strong feelings for the previous person. You don't have enough room in your heart for anyone new. They end up feeling as though they can't get close to you, you can't have the sort of relationship you want, and the relationship ends. Now, instead of having one bad relationship, you've had two and a pattern has emerged that could really screw you up. At this point, some people start to develop serious issues, because they can't seem to make any relationship work. When infact, all they really had to do was wait until they were healthy to date, and they probably could have avoided these problems. That's why rebounding is dangerous. Often we want so bad to feel something good, that we end up using someone. It's just healthier to wait until you've healed.
