Supersensitivity to others' feelings is Empathy. Do you find that you are calmer when you are alone and highly agitated when you are around others? You may need to learn shielding techniques.
The hyper-olfactory sense is physical and is just something to deal with.
Now, I am going to make two suggestions and I'll tell you now that you will not like one of them. I think you need to be examined by a mental health care professional AND a Parapsychologist. The former is to detect or rule out a mental problem. The latter will be able to help you cope and give you guidance. Ask the Parapsychologist to refer you to a Psychiatrist so you will get someone who is open minded. Quite frankly, I think you gather reassurance from both of them if you, too, are open minded.
Please understand, I am NOT trying to blow you off. I think you have a problem that is beyond my ability to advise you on via the internet and I am advising you to get some one on one advice from more than one discipline.
I hope this helps. Best wishes and please let me know if I can help in anyway in the meantime.
We've added new hugs! Send some love to your friends now!

Truly understand what you are saying OldManBear. I developed my gift of phyics empathy at age 8. My late gramma only one in the family who share with me about my gifts. I kept my gifts quiet for long time thinking that there is something wrong with me. I've gone to counseling for 20 yrs. Only one great dr knew I have these gifts. I guess he had the empathy to tell me what I needed to hear without me telling him what my problems were. About my strong sense of smell. sometimes there is certain smell that I can usually identifed who it belong to. Even though I have hearing loss. Ten years ago, I was giving this new test the ear specialist hadnt taken out of the box yet when I complain about my hearing. It just weird that I do hear like normal folks but it flucuate when my hearing want to pick it up. Like one day I can hear the phone or the next day I don't. But with my empathy, I will hear my grandson scream and crying even though he is at my daughter's house. I would call her to see if he is okay. My daughter knows about my gifts and said yes how did I know he fell.
And what you said it is true about how being alone make one calmer. I don't even turn the volume on my tv I just use the captions. Which actually better to simulate my mind by reading. Everybody knows I dont like to be in crowded places. I have mild agorphobia. It is really hard for me to put up shielding because I am super sensitives. -

Oh, wow. This is fairly trippy!
But before I get all distracted and veer off-course, do you mind if I ask you, flybynight, what you smell when you believe someone is visiting? Because, like Lettetalk, I can tell who it is (usually a family member) just by the smell...and sometimes, it's not even a smell, but more of a fragrance, or a "signature"...something sub-conscious, or even unconscious...ROSES,and/or Lavender, it's my beloved grandmother...cooking, food, it's my beloved grandfather...just a general sweetness (I can't put my finger on it; I guess it's like honey or cotton candy)...that's my Mom...etc. -

I guess I've accepted the fact that they come around and look in on me. The smells don't freak me out anymore....they reassure me. -

I am an Empath as well... I find that I am more at ease when I am alone... I hate it when my alone time is disturbed as well... I feel the ones I care through physical pain and I hate that... It can definately be a curse but its a gift that God willed me to have... Just wondering if there is anyone else who has a sheilding technique for me... I need to learn how to block out some of the bad emotions for they seem to overcome me.... xxoxoxx -

I've always been very sensitive to other's feelings as well.
I smell different smells, all of which tell me who I'm dealing with at the time.
Once when I thought I was dying, which I later found out, I almost did, I was alone in my bedroom during the day very sick with the flu. I was too weak to even sit up on the side of the bed.
All of the sudden a very sweet smell filled the room, like flowers.
I knew who ever was there was standing to my right side.
I looked up and told whoever it was that I wasn't ready to die.
I fell asleep after that.
Next thing I knew my husband had come home from work and was carrying me down the stairs to take me to the hospital.
I'll never forget that sweet sweet smell. -

other peoples emotions are overwhelming at times. Meditation works best for me to help calm me and center me. I have always since a small child been keenly aware of every ones emotions around me. Sometimes I sort of borrow there feelings for awhile and it's hard to shake. I live with an overly emotional person. This is hard. Meditation helps me. Maybe you could try it.
