Have you ever touched someone and gotten this vile evil feeling from them?

I was wondering if I am the only person taht has this happen? I was in the store not to long ago when I brushed up against this man and I got such a vile feeling from him that my husband ask me if I was sick. Being in the store with this man made me so creeped out (lacking a better word) that I had to go outside and sit in the car. As I waited for my husband to finish getting our grocerys this man came out of the store and walked past our car staring at my with pure hate in his eyes. When I touched him he jumped like he was struck by lightening. I do not touch people I don't know and don't touch all of them I do know. I am also very leery of shaking hands with people. My friend has a friend and I can't be in teh same room with this woman she is so confusing and just too unsettling. I was just wondering if it happens to other people by accident or not.I know that I can do it when I feel the time and place is right, but by accident? Any feedback would help alot adn be greatly appreciated.. wish this thing had spell check.....Blessed Be.

It takes much energy to do this kind of healing and it feels very nasty and gross at times to connect on that level with that kind of energy...; ▶ Reply to This

THIS is one of the reasons I don't do "hugs"...it's not that I dislike human contact, but I get these impressions, insights, feelings, memories...whatever. It's not comfortable and I try like crazy to avoid the input. Yes, some folk I've accidentally brushed up against have affected me adversely, though seldom as intensely as what you experienced. Some I come in contact with I automatically recoil from and I trust my instincts...I'm seldom if ever mistaken. Believe me...you are NOT alone and the more aware of this you become the more intense the reactions. Call it instinct, insight, heightened perception, or whatever...it exists and it's potent. I understand what you're saying completely...though it's late and I may not be making much sense in the choice of my words. LOL!

I have met many people who I got bad vibes from and I strive to keep them out of my life. I'm the kind of person you only get one chance with. If you blow it then oh well! I also go out of my way not to touch strangers for the same reason as you described above.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm empathic and with that I end up getting feelings and things from everything, if they're strong enough I get a severe reaction to them. With people I generally don't feel it unless they are projecting it massively or unless they're just saturated in it. Certain places trigger a bad reaction too, some stores I need to leave quickly if I have to go in them for any length of time.

Learning to be a massage therapist, as I am now doing, makes the avoiding touching people quite a difficult thing. I've already been exposed to at least sixty people's hands in the past two days and got varying degrees of projecting, draining, neutral, hot, cold, creepy, warm, loving, etc, feelings, through my ten second contact with them.

I shield myself regularly to deal with the overload of too many people's emotions or energies on me, which can really make it impossible to focus or even function properly. However, as often as a shield, it is much harder to shield where direct touch with a person is involved, I have yet to really get the right shielding technique down to keep people from draining my energy or overwhelming me with theirs via touch and all.

Sometimes it is the times we don't intend to feel it that we more often than not feel the energy of people the strongest. A good example is yesterday during the meeting of the older massage students who will graduate some months before us. We met via touch, using our hands only to touch their hands without verbal contact. Though I wasn't focusing on it intentionally, I found one person who i didn't want to let my hands go, and one who was draining my energy via my hands without intending to reach out and find out all of that. It was in passing, with only a few seconds between them moving from one of us to the next and all.

It is helpful and i'm learning to use my sense of touch to my advantage and learn as much about people as possible during these little brushes with them and all.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by eclipse on January 17, 2009 at 12:26am: oh, i am sorry for you. you have very strong empathetic powers. That can be helpful, but like in this case, it is a curse. I have small empathy powers, i can sense other's emotions sometimes and I can pick up what generaly happens in a room just by going inside (even if its empty of course) This is not fun when peple are sad but it is helpful cause I can comfort them. Of course, the man you met might have simply been pure evil, thats always possible :) blessings; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Mary Reinhardt on January 17, 2009 at 12:58am: Don't see it as a curse - it is a natural defense mechanism. All have this mechanism but many are unaware and those are the ones that more often find themselves in dangerous situations. Follow that feeling and protect yourself - there are moments when you just can't be nice. That's a problem for many people - believing they must always be polite and nice. Excusing yourself from a situation is the best way. Another note: if you have kids and they don't want to hug aunt or uncle so and so - don't make them do it - children pick up on this stuff more easily than adults and the worse thing you can do is to teach your child to ignore their feelings (especially feelings of danger).; ▶ Reply to This

...that must have been a horrible shock when it happened by accident...i have never had that happen by accident before...but i could juss imagin what it felt like...i usaually try to avoid the people that make me feel this way...only because i feel like im sufficating within their presence...i can pick this up bout a person from a distance...and i take trust in this...
...but at the same time...i fight back this urge to want to take that darkness/evil...whatever...out of them...if they came to me...i would not turn them away...and i do agree with what the artist said...it does take alot of energy and it feels nasty and gross...it also leaves yooh feeling violated in a way...if that makes any sense...
...ive always had a huge problem being in large crowds because of this...but still a person cannot avoid situations because of this...there would be to much in life one would miss out on then...
...many blessings...; ▶ Reply to This

So many people go through my line that I just wish had never come into the store, and then others will make me feel like they could just make all my worries disappear. The creepy vibes are usually from early twenty somethings(we've got a rather large college in town), and the others range from evil little old ladies(I wouldn't say it if it weren't true, they can be so NASTY to people!) to men who don't know that eying young girls is NOT okay.; ▶ Reply to This

They could just past by me and I feel cold chills around me once they pass by. Sometimes I get the impression that a very dark force is either inside the person that passed me by or is following them closely. That does not necessarily mean that they are an evil person though. It could very well mean that they are going to face a dangerous situation soon and that is what you picked up on. Sometimes it's hard for me to approach a stranger whenever I feel they are in danger, but I try to gently tell them to be careful and leave it at that. After years of experiences though, it seems to be easier to tell the people in trouble from the people that have evil in them and I take it all in stride, for one of the most important lessons I learned from these experiences is that the gifts we have, can be considered a blessing or a curse. Since I choose to look at my gifts as a blessing, it has helped me appreciate life a little more in being able to see things most people are unaware of, and help out where I can when needed. Supernatural gifts can be confusing, scary, and disorienting, but once you realize how it can make you a stronger person by catching that glimpse of life very few are privileged to see, you begin to realize the important spiritual being that is inside you, and how we are connected with one another as well.; ▶ Reply to This
