Came to ask the same ... I've spoke to others about this we've just talked it up to being more hardwired for empathy in a certain way.
First I've heard this is an ADHD or even ND thing (I'm not diagnosed or anything BTW).
For me, this rings very true. Like to the point that it's one of my main difficulties with dealing with people. For being productive, I need either severe loneliness or a tight group of the "right people" all on the same wavelength. Otherwise I'm absorbing others' moods and even habits and outlooks.
Exactly, I thought it was an empathy thing, but if it’s an ADHD thing that’s interesting.
And yeah I feel the same about the work space. Hell I work from home most of the time, but I’m always texting one of my coworkers to talk about various things. I’ve noticed the past year or two that he’s really got a chip on his shoulder, and talks shit about some of our coworkers he’s frustrated with. So I end up going along with it more often than not, but I’ve been realizing i don’t ALWAYS feel the same way about these people, and that his mood often bums me out. It’s one of many reasons I’m trying to find a new job.
