The Sponge

Their trouble moves you, their state becomes yours, and the accurate read of what is actually going on is the channel that reads low. This is the most generous of the eight profiles and the most expensive one to run. Being genuinely affected by other people is not a fault, and an enormous amount of what holds families and friendships together is done by people in exactly this position — but doing it without a precise read means absorbing the entire weather system instead of the specific problem, and that is not a thing that gets lighter with practice. Two corrections help, and both are concrete: ask what someone actually needs rather than absorbing until it becomes obvious, and keep track of which weeks were yours. If most days go on carrying states that started somewhere else, and it costs you your own, that is worth saying to someone qualified — it's a real load, not a personality trait.
