nacht_musik, something occurred to me.
I've been doing massage for so long, it's so intuitive and second-nature these days, that it's hard to comprehend *not* being able to touch people and get a sense of what to do for them. Like, how can anyone not? It's so obvious! I know it isn't true for most people, and it wasn't always true for me, but it's so present now, so much a part of me, that I can't imagine myself not experiencing it that way.
I commented to him that it must be similar for him, making music, and he agreed.
I've since been wondering, how common is it? Do YOU have something that doing well - sometimes effortlessly, automatically, just falling into it - is so intrinsic to who you are, that you can't imagine yourself not being able to?

I realized that one of the reasons I find IM so fatiguing is that when someone is telling me their troubles I feel the emotions the same way I would if they were sitting in the room with me and I was mirroring them. More so, actually, since I have to pull emotional content out of lower bandwidth.
