i cannot function when the people i love are hurting,

but i create my best work when my own heart aches.

god, i’m really gonna blow with

all this empathetic shit

understand the thing you did

and every reason you did it

I'm AroAce, but I am also an empath, so when I'm with a person who likes me, i have the urge to hold their hands and I feel how they want to kiss me. In those moment I question myself, but when I am alone again, I know I dont want anything from them and am grossed out by myself. Is that normal or weird ?

I wouldn’t say it’s weird, and it sounds like its something that you regularly experience.  I’m also an empath, but I don’t experience those same urges.  It may vary from person to person and depend on what energies they are more sensitive to.  You may be more sensitive to other’s romantic energies that they give off, and i’m not; hence why we both experience it differently.  Part of being an empath is that you acknowledge when something isn’t a result of your own feelings.  As long as you do that, there’s no reason to be grossed out by yourself, because you know that these romantic urges do not belong to you.  It sometimes helps to tell yourself in the moment that the romantic urges you feel belong to whomever you’re interacting with, and not you.
