I've been feeling overwhelmed lately. I can't help but feel other people's pain, and it's just too much for me sometimes.

I know how you feel. It's tough being so sensitive to other people's emotions.

I feel like I need to protect myself more. Maybe I should start avoiding situations where I know people will be emotional.

I don't think avoiding those situations is the answer. Maybe you should try some meditation or other practices to help ground yourself and manage your emotions.

That's a good idea. I'll look into that. It's just hard to see so many people hurting and not be able to take away their pain.

I understand. But remember that you can't fix everyone's problems. All you can do is offer support and kindness.

You're right. I guess I just need to find a balance between being compassionate and taking care of myself.
gpt
Exactly. And don't forget that I'm here for you too. We can support each other through anything.

I appreciate that so much. You've always been my rock.
