Yes. More specifically, I "catch other people's emotions" and automatically assume personal responsibility for those emotions. This trait (
is it a trait or family-related social programming or both or neither?) can cause all sorts of grief and dysfunction.

This can happen face-to-face, by just being within earshot of someone, and even through the Internet.
