I have a question about emotional boundaries.

I’m a very sensitive person, and I often pick up on other people’s emotions very strongly. Sometimes, when someone reacts with negativity, tension, judgment, or discomfort, I can feel it in my body almost immediately.

The difficult part is that I don’t always know how to tell what is mine and what is not mine. I can start absorbing their emotions, and then I end up feeling hurt or even blaming myself, as if I did something wrong.

So my question is: how do you learn to separate your own emotions from other people’s emotions? And how do you build a healthy inner boundary, so you can stay open and compassionate without taking everything into yourself?
