I am less.
Ever since taking metformin, which shut off my empathy entirely for a time, it seems like I'm not as empathic as I used to be. I'm not sure why this is, but it's not entirely bad. I feel like I'm in a more normal state. I'm not quite as prone to being overwhelmed by whatever is going on around me. Sometimes I worry that I'm not really less, but have reverted back to how I was before I found out that I was empathic. The reason that worries me is because I tended to absorb other's emotions and mirror them back at people (which is great if they're really happy, but terrible if they're angry or anything else). I hope that I'm not doing that and that I've finally managed to find balance instead.
