Well, anyone? I'm pretty certain this is a problem of mine. I mean I know a good dose of empathy is good but I'm really at the extreme end. I'm the sort of guy who can't watch t.v shows or films if there's a really awkward bit in it, I have to turn over. It's worse in real life, If I found out about an embarrassing/ bad situation of a friend I empathize so much it's literally like being in their shoes.

So, any tips to cast out these shackles of empathy?
