When you smile, the whole world smiles with you
 
Have you ever felt that the way you feel, is passed onto your friend and vise versa? Like for example, when you're happy, your friends are happy too. Or when you're sad, you're friends are sad too. Basically like sharing each others feelings.

And how many people do you think are happy just from the way you are, or even with just your existance alone?


As for myself, I do feel that when my friends are really happy I am too, because I'm happy for them. And when they're sad, I do feel a bit down, but I try my best to make them happy again, for them and for myself, because I believe that being happy and having an overall positive look in life makes everything more better. I try not to be too down around my friends, since I'd rather not be a burden on them and bring the mood down, which is why when I'm upset I like to be left alone until I feel like I'm in a better mood. I'd like to think that when I'm happy, my friends are too.

And there's probably a handful of people I feel that are happy because of me, or how I am. And they would be those who are closest to me and that is our bond with each other. And I'd like to think that my own family are happy because of me too. You get the feeling that there are people who couldn't live their life without you, which makes you feel special that there are people out there who really do care about your existance as much as you do. I'm glad I know those people in my life and I feel the same way about them too.

Im not sure that's the case. I might have a few friends that feel what I feel, but the biggest thing for me is that I can't hide my feelings at all. XD So when I'm sad, it's obvious. But, when I'm happy, it's also obvious. :D

^This.
The power of the brain, right?
But yeah, I felt this quite a bit of times, but this usually happens only with close and/or real friends.

About 2-6 in real life, I can't really be that accurate. I don't know how I am on the Internet.

Defiantly. It's like a disease. My closest friend always feels what I feel, and I feel what she feels. So were both either happy or sad. And in general with my other friends to, except for the carefree ones. : P

My parents, my friends. Many people. I don't know anyone that has a vendetta against me, so I'm sure people don't mind me living. They aren't "He's here! He's here! Hug him!" happy, but happy nevertheless. : )

1. Yes we are happy and sad together.

2. Most of the people who I am close to.

Yeah, there are two or three friends whose emotions I just...synchronise with. I can sympathise with almost anyone's sadness, but with my closest friends, I really feel down and keep worrying about it unless I'm able to help them.
And yes, I like to share some laughs too. I need to cheer up my friends and keep them joyful when they are. It's my job. ^-^

Again, probably the same two or three people. I couldn't live without them. <3

Strangely enough, the only time I feel that way is when I'm talking to people online. Usually, I'm always the opposite of however friends from my offline life feel. When they're feeling happy, I'm usually in a gloomy state of being. When they're feeling sad, I'm usually energetic and rather happy. The only time I think we ever share the same feelings is when we're experiencing something together -- like a movie or something of the sort, listening to a sad or happy song, watching a funny YouTube video, and the like. Generally, hanging out with someone who's happy does not make me happy.

I've found that... I have about four people, aside from people in my family, who are happy with the way I am and don't want me to change in the least. These people, specifically two in particular, are all online. I don't really open up to anyone offline and have generally lost most of my friends in some way or another due to this. Am I happy with it? I don't really care, to be honest. Most of my really good friends have generally had to move away, though... so that's upsetting because I think they were one of the only people offline who thought of me that way.

But I honestly don't really care if someone isn't happy with me anymore. Despite the fact that I used to try so hard, I've learned that I can't please everyone, and I can't make everyone like me, so if someone doesn't like me for who I already am (though I'm trying to be the person I want to be, as is everyone I assume), then screw them, I guess.

I'm not incredibly close to most of my 'friends', so my feelings generally don't spread beyond me. Though it seems that most of my friends online seem to always be on the opposite end of the spectrum from me. :\

Idiot! February 25th, 2010 7:45 AM

1. No. I am not that influencial, but then again I am hard to be influenced.

2. There are some people that says that so long as I am happy, they are happy. Makes me wonder how true it was.
