Are You Normal?

I feel EMBARRASSED for people all the time.

Basically when other people get insulted or made fun of and I witness it, I feel their embarrassment like literally. It is as though they were insulting me no matter the cut-down. And this is just not held to actually being there. It happens all the time when I watch tv. I literally change the channel or feel that I have cover my eyes and my toes curl when I hear someone being insulted.

I'm a male and I know society tells me I should be more of a tough ass or something I mean I tried but I just can't help feeling this way.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Do you think it's normal?

I'm a guy and I have the same problem. It is perfectly okay to feel bad for other people.

I wouldn't worry about it as you are normal. Just don't ever forget it and expand on it. Your a nice guy, don't ever become a dick toward women or life in general.
You're sensitive to the feelings of others. This can be a good and a bad thing. The good is that you have a sense of empathy, which can be very helpful in friendships and love relationships if you make use of it.

The bad is that it might indicate a lack of self esteem on your part. When you put yourself in the shoes of the person being insulted, you take it as if the insult was directed at you. The pain you experience makes me wonder if perhaps you feel vulnerable to such insults yourself.
aww to you both ^^
