Hi Ever
As indigo mentions, your feelings are relevant, as all feelings are telling. The question becomes 'What are these feelings I'm sensing and what are they trying to tell me?'.
As a 54yo gal, I'm still sensing new feelings and trying to work them out. With new challenges in life, as we go along, new feelings may naturally come up. It's completely natural and important to wonder about them when they do arise. I think what's most important to begin with can involve questioning 'What are feelings and what are we meant to do with them?'. One take on it is that they're a kind of 'body language' or our body trying to communicate something to us. Tension in the neck and shoulders, for example, could be our body saying 'You are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You need to unload to some degree'. Seriously low energy levels can be our body's way of saying 'You have a serious energy deficiency. You need to address where it's coming from (iron, b12, thyroid, sleep related etc)'. The feeling of exhaustion can sometimes be associated with the people or circumstances that are completely draining us. Pure rage can be the feeling of people or circumstances enraging us and so on. As I say, all feelings are telling.
For sensitive people, (aka 'those who have the ability to sense rather easily'), it is so incredibly important to find the kinds of people who can help better understand and master this ability. For example, my 'go to' people for gaining a better sense of what I'm feeling are not the kind of people who say stuff like 'You'll be right, you just need to get on with life' or 'You're too sensitive, you need to toughen up' or 'Everyone goes through that sort of stuff' and things along those lines. Btw, if you're sensitive enough you'll be able to feel those kinds of comments as dismissive, enraging, depressing etc. I find wonderful or wonder filled people, who are inclined to wonder with me (as to what it is I could be feeling), are the best people for the job. Being left to wonder alone can become stressful and/or depressing. Btw, for a guidance counsellor to brush someone off is highly questionable. What comes to mind is 'Dude, seriously?! I can feel you having just guided me further into the dark and left me alone there. What the heck?! Where's the light (enlightenment) and positive guidance/sense of direction?'.
To flip everything, when it comes to being a deeply feeling person, you could say 'My sensitivity is not my 'fault', it points to my ability (to sense). I just haven't come to better understand it, develop it and master it'. Btw, I can't help but wonder whether you're impacted by other people's energy in motion (aka 'e-motion'). Sensing our own feelings and other people's feelings or energy can definitely double the challenge at times.
