*nods* Empathy is a very useful skill, however as Calli mentioned, it can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you are naturally empathic. It can make you want to take care of the whole world, or take on other people’s problems, which isn’t healthy.
Control (as yoda says) and understanding of your ability and of others keeps you in a good spot.
Seriously though, Empathy is one of the best skills to have- to do good in this world we have to understand eachother, and the more we can tap into eachother, the less negativity and misunderstanding there is.
Much love,
