Francie, I understand your pain, I used to be just like you. Look at it this way, we all chose to be where we are, at this time. The people who suffer are suffering because it it their karma. The best thing to do is to be detached, because there's nothing you can do about it, and there's nothing you should do about it. Compassion is good, too much compassion isn't. If it destroys you, then it isn't. I probably come across as cold and tactless, but my point is you must learn to protect or shield yourself. Being labeled as hypersensitive (and hating it!), I understand a thing or two about feeling too much! As someone earlier mentioned, pretend like you're watching a movie, be touched, moved, sad, but don't let it eat you up. My two cents for what it's worth...
