Very relatable. I think without cultivating a free flowing energy, our lives tend to be infinitely harder. Sometimes, I do experience this unpleasant feeling in myself after visiting someone who feels unpleasant. It's like an unconscious transfer of energy and I'll have to try doing different things to rid myself of this foreign energy. I think having awareness of these mechanisms helps in the clearing process, since we can only improve on things we're aware of.
If we are mindful we can easily push it off and not absorb it but yes if carry ourselves very mindlessly then these energies can gather very quickly around us
