Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong room, but it didn't seem to fit in any of the others.
Have any of you any experience with empathic projection? (If there is such a thing? I made the name up)
I have noticed for years, that when I am with groups of or single people that their mood often follows mine. It happens all the time, and it happens when I join a group later on after they have all been together for a while, separate from me.
It's not like when a person enters a room and you can feel a tangible change in the air depending on the intensity of their mood. The moods of the people I am with changes to whatever mood I am in at that time, and as mine changes through the day or night, so will theirs. If I feel bored, they feel bored. If I feel happy, they feel happy.
Is this a known thing? Can it be detrimental to me or to others?
