Learn to love yourself. That is the only way we can love others is if we love ourselves first.( not narcissism) I think its a good thing you can see another's pain, to me it's like the sixth sence. It is also, like Roadie said, the basic idea that most of us in the world are going through the same things considering the state of the world is now, everybody is sufferring somehow and there are alot of people hurting at the same time. Please don't make yourself suffer when you don't have to, you'll miss out on some good times in your life, if only you would let it be.
