I am the exact same way. Whether or not this label applies to you, this is a super common trait among autistic women and you might find a sense of community with that group. We often talkabout how we experience the emotions of other people intensely and it becomes overwhelming. We are nothing like the Sheldon Cooper stereotype. Much like the other topics Dr. Kirk covers here, autism in adult women is tremendously misunderstood by the layman and even by many clinicians

2024-06-26 23:36:44 +0000 UTCI’ve suspected that I’m an empath and a lot of the traits Dr. Honda mentioned apply to me with the exception of “being connected to nature”. I like to camp and do float trips, but I’m absolutely terrified of most flying bugs and often look like a child when I encounter them in the summer months 😂. It’s honestly embarrassing how terrified I get, but my fear dominates the logical part of me 🤷♀️. Anyway, something I’ve really struggled with is the big feelings aspect and I’m curious if this could be a symptom of something other than being an empath or just being empathic. When I read a news article, hear about something difficult a friend, acquaintance, or even stranger is experiencing and it really weighs on me. For example, I might be talking with a group of co-workers and it’s brought up that someone they know has a relative hospitalized for an illness. Everyone will agree that it is sad or express some kind of concern, but I’ve come to notice that most people won’t really think about it past that unless it’s something that is directly affecting them in some way. On the other hand, I spend what I feel like is way too much thinking about the people going through a hard time and it makes me very sad and emotional for them. I’ve gotten better at redirecting my thoughts so that the negative feelings don’t stick with me for hours or days, but it’s still pretty draining. It’s gotten to the point where I have to take long breaks from most social media because it’s emotionally overwhelming because of how much larger my bubble of concern grows too large for me to handle when it’s expanded to news sources, friends of family, past acquaintances I wouldn’t otherwise here from, etc. Does anyone else feel this and/or have a term or explanation for it? I’ve never met anyone that’s felt this way, at least to this degree. Maybe they just aren’t comfortable talking about it for some reason? I’m not sure, but I’m curious to hear from someone who knows what I’m talking about and has found an effective way to cope because I think I have a lot of room for improvement in regards to managing those feelings.
