Can anyone tell me how to block off the emotions when it's people l know really well? I'm having trouble figuring it out, and it would have really come in handy the other day when i was feeling some really strong emotions that ended up giving me physical side effects. I don't really need to block a lot because i pretty much naturally block out people i don't know because i don't want to intrude on their private feelings, but with people like my best friends or my boyfriend it's hard to tune out what they feel. I could really use some help.
