Are you an "emotional barometer"? I find myself reacting to people's emotions before they even realize they're feeling them, which can make for sometimes awkward social interaction.

I have a hair-trigger when it comes to feeling sudden negative emotion from others, even when it's not outwardly expressed right away. Anybody else feel this way?

I don't think I'm in touch with my own emotions enough to be able to tell where they are coming from at the time (intense though they are, does that sound ironic? I don't know how to explain it), and I don't trust how I read the emotions of others to be able to connect the two.
I kind of feel too much all at once, and it's so overwhelming that any introspection is difficult.
