This must be quite unnerving and overwhelming at times. Have you shared with them your gift? What do your friends say about this? I don't know anyone who can read minds. I do know if you work or live around the same ppl a long time you can get to kind of know how they think and if they are habitual, you could learn what "phrase" they would think or say in any given situation.

What is your DX, along with anxiety? I would hope you could find a doctor to give you a medicine to help you, rather than self drugging with alcohol. TC
