help with nightmare..

[Greenrat]

hi, im having lots of trouble recently being around people, not in an antisocial way.
in work i work next to this guy, we dont talk much because he doesnt speak much english,  my problem is that we are uncontrollably linked mentally.  Were like a double helix,  and i can tell by even his most subtle hand movements precisley the feelings and thoughts he has right then, and probably likewise.
trouble is i cant help myself following him and watching him from the corner of my eye, and inside im screaming at myself to just forget it and think about something else, think of things to do at the weekend or something but pretty much straight away my mind and attention is back, fixed on him.
its like my mind is in prison as its literally stuck in a dead end, as he'll be the complete focus of my attention.
its like a sigh of relief when i go to the toilet.

and its like this with pretty much everyone, even walking into a shop to buy a can of coke, i become obsessed with the interaction between me and the shopkeeper e.g.  was there eye contact, how is he feeling, is he feeling down?  how could i make him feel a bit better with my customer manner lol

and whenever im at work, if anyone walks past, my eyes go wide and alert and focus on them, and i can see them see me, and just *know* what they think of me..

i find im too sensitive/perceptive of everyone i know and all the psychic transmissions are too overwhelming, sometimes my forehead starts to pound because of it.

ive noticed people cant handle it and feel awkward around me, because usually when we make eye contact, they feel like there soul is exposed, except with the people ive known for a longer time...

Have you been working on "opening up" to psychic influences?  It seems that you may have succeeded too well, if so!  In any case, have you tried simple banishing spells and rituals, such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram?  These help set up mental and astral boundaries and could help you get yourself back into your own head and to stay there.

Setting up some protective boundaries for yourself may also help relieve some of the sensitivities.  Try surrounding yourself in a bubble or egg shape of white light/energy and then surround that by purple light/energy.
I find this very effective!
