Thanks so much everyone. Much food for thought here.
I spend a lot of time alone and introspective so I don't always have an objective view of how I react to things. This has been very helpful.
I do internalise and there is a part of me who feels it's my 'duty' to feel what others feel so they won't be alone with it. I think it's also about thinking I have to make it okay for them by making it okay.
Messed up I know.
I do meditate but I haven't been consistent with that lately so I will go back to that and work on other things that help me retain inner peace and good boundaries. I know that what I'm doing isn't helping me or others.
