Hello & Welcome, Crazylife! "
Catching others' emotions or feelings" is a known phenomenon, but some people are more susceptible to it than others.
Depending on how susceptible you are to your friend's moods, you
may find it valuable to
modify your interactions. Is this something you could discuss with your friend without tension or fear?
