Angelic Goldfish, I didn't want to quote the whole thing because it was really long, but I also relate to that being able to read the emotions in a room. And yes, I tend to "disappear" into them, like I tend to either start feeling the same way, or I react to them. So if I feel like someone might be bored with me, I feel rejected and go away. Or if I feel like someone isn't as happy to talk to me as they are trying to fake, I react in the same way. But if someone is genuine, I either become really suspicious or I end up feeling really happy and connected to them. And I can have a positive encounter with someone one day, and then have a negative (in my mind) encounter the next day, and all of the positive stuff stops existing. It's like it doesn't matter, and I am overwhelmed by all of the negative. It becomes a black hole or a vortex, sucking me down into the worst thoughts.
