I’m so glad you’re doing this AMA! I have what I always thought was just extreme empathy where I feel pain when I perceive someone else to be in pain, as you have described, but I don’t get the more positive sensations like you. I am also inclined to be very reflective of emotions.

I know it’s not fair because you don’t know anything else about me other than what I’ve briefly mentioned above, but why do you think I am only inclined to feel pain and not more positive sensations?

Thanks very much for your response! I find it fascinating that you feel touch sensations, like a finger on the cheek as you mentioned. I definitely do not experience that at all. I’m super interested in reading more about this, so thank you for bringing it to light!
