It's called empathy, and it's good for you. Tuning in with other people's feelings will help you make better decisions and generally improve your life. Please, do NOT take steps to cure your chronic empathy disorder. Of course, I'm joking, there is no such disorder, empathy is actually not a disorder but is the highest order. We need more people like you!

I get this all the time. Ive been doing that for like 6 or something years now, and I really kinda hate it. I always try to completely become the other person, take their feelings, appearance, senses, situation onto myself, in order to feel what they are feeling, because I have to know. I think one part may be empathy, but the other is OCD. Constantly trying to feel what someone else is feeling and not stopping until you feel what you think they feel is obsessive compulsive, and the more you try the more you are going to feel messed up. I try to not let myself go that far anymore and I try and value my own take/perspective on the issue, which is hard to do but the more you try and put yourself in someone elses shoes all the time, non stop, can really hurt your own self esteem and will likely lower the value you have on you're own opinion. It's possible I read too much into what you were saying, but thats how that goes for me at least... Ugh le sigh

Do you feel like them only when they feel bad, or do you also feel like them when they are happy? I could do with that, I´d be stealing people´s happiness ha.

(Btw so far I am no vampire yet, don´t worry).
