I think I started with boundaries because in order to move around in a world that is largely not mine to control, I need good ones.

I am fairly empathic, I have close family and friends that I am "connected to" and kind of know when they are having a bad day.

I had to do a lot to push down my awareness of the whole country's rage/fear and mistrust lately.

It's kind of like another sense. Someone else might be more sensitive to someone's BO or perfume. I pick up emotional cues.
