Are you too empathic?

Nah. I can read others' emotions, generally. I can experience secondhand embarrassment, disappointment, relief, etc. Sometimes I cry because a stranger on the news is crying, or something. It's all pretty typical level empathy, I think. I'm not really sure what "too empathetic" is even supposed to be, though. Unable to regulate or identify your own emotions because you're so influenced by the others' emotions? Like when Jean Grey is hearing everyone's thoughts at once, and can't function? That ain't me. I can't function for other reasons.
