Being raised in a toxic home I became super sensitive to what people around me feel, and almost I would know what they think. But I never got the concept of separateness, so I would take those feelings and thoughts as my own.
Now it is so clear that they are not mine. And it feels so powerful to be able to know what people feel and think without them having to say it! How many problems can I now avoid knowing that I have this skill! Wow. I was so clueless. I only need to practice a bit with how to use it. Still don't have much experience in applying it deliberately.
I at least know, that it does happen that I know more about what a person feels or thinks than themselves, that sounds creepy, but I never try to impose my knowledge on someone. Maybe part of it is that it is always easier to be more objective being not that person.
