One of the things that I find challenging sometimes is when I experience someone acting chaotically or acting out of their norm. Whatever the reason, I can empathize with how they are feeling because I have been there before, but I also do not enjoy re-feeling those emotions over again.
Right now, I feel I need to pull my energy back and find another place to be when I'm in those situations. I am looking to find other ways of overcoming such challenges, but right now it feels like I am just coming back into my own power and balance and anything that potentially could knock me out of whack can be discouraging.
In any event, I am still learning the best way to allow someone else to be in whatever state they are and still be in my own center. Most of the time, I am rather good at it, but when I sometimes get a full dose directed at me, I curl up and find another place to be or snarl right back at the person.
If I am truly in my center, I can be in any situation without having to pick up the negative emotions anyone else is feeling. I want to be able to stay there so that the other person can get out of their funk and have an anchor or rock to hold on to while in their chaotic storm. With more patience and practice, I hope to be able to offer myself more often and still feel my power.

The Tantra community refers to this as "holding space".
That's what it is in a very real way. You are holding higher dimensional space open to allow 3-D feelings to transform.
Good work.
have you ever thought that your continually pulling into your 'center' is actually pulling you away from experiencing life the way it was meant to be experienced? did you not choose to become an emotional being surrounded by emotional beings? so to what end is shutting out all the emotions of others?
