Draw,
I don't think the ability has any influence over me though in terms of personal judgement. I would never cause dismay just to absorb it. Besides, that would be futile as the person would naturally suspress those negative feelings around me, making it harder to absorb.
You're right, I happen to be good at coping with things most people couldn't tolerate. Maybe its my cigarette smoking, lol. The tolerance you mentioned is a good trait. It's a matter of mental disclipline, which probably makes one more proficient in magick.
You said you wrote a big post on my thread. Do you mean in my thread, or about it. I'll see about looking it up.
Waterfall,
No, I don't emulate the emotion. It's actually a refreshing experience for me, like drinking a cold ice tea on a hot day. As for physical symptoms, I usually feel a little better healthwise. I tend to utilize the negative energies from others to reinforce and strengthen my own health.
Even though everyone around me has gotten sick (not unnaturally often) from the common cold, or the flu that goes around over the years, I've been immune the whole time. I'd like to see if I could use energy to heal others. I feel kind of selfish being able to consciencely control my own health while others can't.
Speaking of, I've found anger to be fairly easy to consume, even that caused by a bi-polar woman when she's out of her medicine.
