I'm tired of being empathic, yes it's nice to know the kind of mood people are in when you meet them so you know how to tread when talking to them. It's also a pain in the ass when you brush up against someone who's in a piss poor mood and it rubs off on you. For me that happens a lot in retail. I'll come across someone who's in a terrible mood and it affects me all throughout my shift, generally because the negative moods are more influential than the positive moods. I'm sick of retail but I've tried applying for other jobs and I never get so much as an interview. So I'm stuck in retail until things change. Being an empath is both a blessing and a curse and right now more curse than blessing, I just want it to go away right now.
