do you ever get where you can feel someone else's pain/emotions?

I sometimes do. The Lord will put someone on my heart and reveal the problem. That way I can send them a note or call them, and I know how to pray for them too.

I've felt that kind of thing too. I can't say for sure that the person was really present, or if they were just present in my mind - but either way the people we've loved and lost truly remain with us forever.

Well, usually friendship doesn't bring more pain than love. Usually, friends know your weakness and then avoid them becuase of that, they care for you and do whatever they can to help you, they look out for you and never try to hurt you. But alas, not everyone is like that. Are you in a situation where your friendship is bringing more pain than love? If so, you aren't alone, i have the same thing going on. If you are in pain because of a friendship, i would suggest you approach your friend and let them know why you are feeling like you do. Don't get mad at them and blame them like "you are the cause for my grief" and such, approach calmy and explain why you are in pain.  For your question, the reason we are hurt by the persons we care most about it just that reason, we care more about them because we have invested so much into that relationship, so we take whatever they say or do more seriously than what a stranger may say. You tend to trust them more, so if they hurt you it hurts far more than if a stranger hurt you. I don't really know what your question is, so i can't really think about what else to say. If you want to talk or vent or whatever feel free to emial me. Whatever happens, i wish you the best of luck!\n\n-sarah

I know how you feel. There is one fellow from a long time ago who was tormented as a child as I also was. One time, our collective tormentors goaded us into fighting one another, promising to end the torment of whichever one of us won.\n\nI have felt badly for years that the one I should have had the most empathy for was the one I ill treated, not our tormentors. \n\nBut does finding that person and apologizing make them feel better - or you? I asked myself that question, and realize that it would be of little benefit to the person I feel accountable to - it would only assuage my guilt. All I would be doing would be bringing up a long-past horror I know I don't care to remember. \n\nIf this person was ever going to forgive you, chances are they already have. Don't make them relive something simply for your benefit. Unless you were actually planning on reestablishing a relationship with  this person, take your lumps privately. It is the only decent thing to do.

When you hurt the one that you love, emotions are highly involved on both sides.  Both you and the person you are hurting will be affected in one way or another, and like all similar situations, there will be serious consequences to follow.  When dealing with a stranger, however, there is no history and/or very little (if any) emotions involved at all.  Sure you may insult a stranger in one situation, and anger may ensue on one or both sides because of your actions.  Nevertheless, for the most part, they will not carry that with them for the rest of their life (and perhaps not even the rest of the day for that matter).

No i have not practiced telepathy. But I think that the ability to feel what happens to our loved ones is true and an indicative of the deep spiritual bond.\n\n      I have heard people say that they can feel when something bad happens to people they love. \n\nA study was done with a mother rabbit and four young baby rabbits. The rabbits were taken in a submarine deep inside the ocean far away from the mother. Then they were killed one by one in the submarine. The impulse of the mother was recorded. It was found that each time a baby rabbit was killed, the mother showed a change in electrical impulse at the exact time. \n\nSo if animals could feel them, I guess human could do it too

You're connected to them. You must be close with this person right? It means you're tuned into each others souls. I know that sounds a little creepy but it's true. It's like having slight telepathy with this person. It happens with me and some of my friends. My bofriend too!

I can relate to you. I have felt this way before but I have realized that if someone hurts you, then they do not like you in the same light in which you like them. You call this first person as a substitute for being with your soulmate, but no one can really be with someone who has no feelings for them. On top of this, no one can be with someone when they do not feel it 100%. I hope my advice helps you, and I sincerely hope you can get in contact with your soulmate. Best Wishes.

I have had the same problem and no it isn't right it is more pain and agony on you especially if you even have the smallest of feelings for the person. I have hung on and tried and worked with it as a matter of fact this weekend I just called it quits myself. It hurts to much and it gives the other person multiple people at their becon call and your out in the cold.

I have been in that place years ago.  I felt something special with a good friend of mine and it was confusing.  I got the courage to tell him directly how I felt about being something more than a friend but I was rejected.  I cannot say that it is not painful but at least the situation was clear for me and we are able to keep our friendship.  Actually, he is one of my best friends now.  I suggest that you tell him directly but you have to be prepared that he may not be able to give you a positive answer and you can live with that!  Anyway, if you continue to hide your feelings, it may be quite painful and confusing!  Good Luck!

You can't make someone feel something that isn't there.  The best thing you can do is let them know how you feel and give them a chance to see if they feel the same way about you.

It is called Empathy that is when you feel the emotions of the people around you you could probably look it up on the net for more info\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy

Yes, this has happened to me several times. I have even felt things like about my family. I once had my younger sister on my mind real heavy and could not figure out why I just knew it had to do with her. Later she stopped by my house and told me that she just got married. I was floored! I knew something was up but did not know exactly what till she came to my house.

Yes. Sometimes, although on a rare occasion, you meet someone who just "gets" you.  ;)

Yes, I talk to my Dad all the time, I sense his answers, and I feel him around me quite often. I don't know for sure that it is him - your mind can do some strange things when you are grieving. But, I have had some strange experiences that I can't account for since he died. One time, one of the things I sensed him saying to me was, "DON'T GO OUTSIDE!" I was about to go to bed, and I was going to go get something off my porch when I "heard" or sensed this. It kind of freaked me out, so I just went staight to bed. The next day when I went to go to work, I found that my car had been broken into and burglarized. So... I think that we have souls, and I don't know whether we can be around our loved ones or not once we die, but that's my story. All I know is that death can only kill the body - it can't kill love.
