How do you avoid the amplification of other people's emotions as they pass by at close proximity?
Today for the first time I had an experience where someone random walked past me, their emotion flooded my mind and got amplified until something happened. Since I haven't experienced it this way before, I did not try to resist, I let it flow and tried hard to remain just an observer.
It was a kid, angry at his mother. After the emotion reached a certain level, the intensity suddenly dropped and he started crying.
The intensity of the emotion grew incredibly strong and the way it stopped, reminded me of an operation amplifier in positive feedback loop configuration or a short-circuit until a fuse blows. It wasn't my fuse and I'm somewhat worried about the kid. Already for me the intensity was very strong.
A note: My mind-state was forceful but not angry. Forceful as in facing all the hardships and pushing my way through without whining.
From memory, several years ago when I encountered other people's emotions, my state of mind was so much more stable that other emotions could not flood it. Thus, there was no amplification.

A stable-minded person will neither hug nor hate the world, he will take things as they come.
According to prior experience with an angry sister, for as long as I remain in an observer position without redirecting the energy anywhere, I'm vamping it off (draining it from her). So, it should not have been dangerous to the kid. This also fits with a random encounter following the event. As I stepped out of the shopping mall, someone across the street honked the horn, made a peace symbol with his hand and shouted: "Good job!"

Yeah good question. Wondered too about it. I am not sure the way I see it, consciousness, emotions and all that act like water in this case. The obvious case is that you could somewhat solve it by increasing your 'water level' but thats not practical at all :D. I guess you could try to put energetic shields but it would be a waste of energy if you think about it....Maybe it affects your astral body, a strong powerful trained astral body might help but not sure since I dont have experience with a strong protected astral body.....
Alternatively I guess it could be seen as the air element too. How does the wind avoid mixing and causing a tornado? Good concentration powers, so that when you are near these people just concnetrate and unite your energies...that MIGHT work but it still would not do much since these energies are like astrological energies.
On another note, what I think happens is that when you approach someone they fill you up with their energies and vice versa. This is why its hard to express yourself when near just another person. Its like your aura has your energy in it. And then other people also put their energy in it. However your consciousness is like a wind moving through the sea of energy in the aura, and others people's energies act as a type of voltage for electricity. Just an obstacle. So having more energy helps for sure, similrly to how you have more confidence when you celibate so can you combat others in these situations. But again not very practical....
What can I say, we are sort of made to be strong like this. Thus us incarnating here makes are quite responsible for a lot of things. So we should just try to become strong and balanced energitically and when they apporoach us try and have a positive mind, like in meditation, ignor their vibrations.

This is interesting. I only recently started feeling emotions and physical pain from other people and this is beginning to be a concern for me. I love how someone knew what happened. You're sure he was congratulating you? The way you presented the information it would make sense that the individual was aware of what transpired. It amazes me that anyone has the ability to see things so clearly while I'm just learning to "crawl" as it is.

I noticed recently that I often have the same thoughts as people around me or vice versa. The way it works I guess it is similar to napoleon hill. Its thought power and it shapes the way we are 'interpreted' by other people. I have been able to 'detect' for a while now in my mind that there is like a white-blue light surrounding the body. This is though power, very dimished when sleeping or not apparent and when awake people usually have it 1 inch or so from their bodies. I noticed it increases in size in me when go in concentration mode. I been trying quite hard to concentrate lately and I think I am almost capable of tensing my brain against my skull :D quite tense energetically. Anyways, when lights of the body come close they sort of mix. I noticed that if you have 'weird' thoughts around other people that you shouldnt have you become less atractice. But if I generate excitement and have the right thoughts that I have nothing to feel ashamed, guilty, etc of I become much more welcoming to people and pleasant.
Napoleon Hill talked about this in his success teachings/books. I have used this knowledge/skill to build relantionships with people. I have had some pleasant results. Also noticed if I talk to someoen on the internet and I have certain thoughts at them they somehwat change to me. Once someone was very annoyed. Concetrated mentally and got my white/blue mental light strong (by also becoming mentally strong) and I direct my thought at making them calm the hell up. It worked somewhat. Another time I was somewhat more sensitive and my managed to listen to the internal chat or subconsciouss of someone. I dont really know what happened there but I tried to direct my power at them and calm them down but it didnt really work. Then I could just sense that their subconsciouss was listening to me. Spoke with it and gave that person's subconsciouss a reason to calm down because it had told me why it wouldnt calm down. And then the power calmed down out of blue almost as if she had lost her inner focus. Like that loss of anger was unexpected. I think thats the subconsciouss mind accepted my reason without reasoning it. Long post again :D

Another approach is to find the space/emptiness within yourself, so that you have the openness to hold whatever phenomena you experience. Holding experience means not suppressing it, or acting out because of it. It means not protecting oneself, nor building oneself up. As a strong physical & emotional empath, opening to the space within me is the only thing that has worked ultimately. Resistance has always caused more problems for me later.
Every realized person I can think of; from Buddha, to Jesus, had enough space within to hold the pain of the world, while at the same time embodying extreme joy. Within each of us, is a vast unborn emptiness, which is covered over by a fearful ego. That emptiness isn't really empty though, but is pregnant with warmth.
Unguarded intimacy, is the natural state of human beings. Babies are completely open to the world, & if you go back to pre-agriculture; this is how human tribes of people were with one another & the environment. I think that an open heart is the key; compassion for oneself, followed by compassion for others:)
