As a child being in that “isolation”, I became really sensitive to the energy around me. Not understanding what people are saying but having to “read” their energy. To the point where other people’s energy starting becoming too “loud”. Where I wasn’t able to control how other people’s energy effected me, absorbing and taking on other people’s energy. And the other energy was crowding out my own energy.
As I grew older, I think this helped me gain more empathy for people’s struggles and difficulties. But it also affected me negatively, when close friends had depression or anger, I felt depressed and angry. It was very difficult thing to process and sort out.
