It makes it very hard to live the life you want to life, because it is so interfering.

I've been trying to explain that to someone I care about. We FEEL so much more intensly than others do. It can be a curse or a blessing depending on what the feeling is. Anger or rage, sadness, emptiness: All of these are feel like knives going through us. At the same time we love more deeply and powerfully, feel happiness as euphoria. There are times when I wish I could shut my feelings off, yet I can't imagine not being able to love as I do: And I'm not sure I'd even WANT to.
