I can see it.

I feel what my fellow human beings feel because I have a very thin filter between them and me. This thin filter, I explain to myself, stems from my childhood years when my strategy for finding my way in my environment was to try to classify the moods of adults and check out their sensitivities before I did anything or asked anything.

Maybe it's a skill you have. I don't think I'll be able to do it. For me I have found that it is very difficult to put myself in someone else's shoes and know what that person is thinking and feeling, unless it is very obvious. Often people say things like "oh, he sure thinks this, and believes this, and feels this, and that's why he does this", however, this all revolves around assumptions and not real knowledge. The only way I have been able to truly put myself in the shoes of others is when I listen to those people talk and tell their perspective. Otherwise, they are all assumptions in my mind. Unless, again, it is something very obvious.

Yes, I listen to my inner self, after all, to whom shall I listen otherwise? :)

Well, you can actually listen to everything, but follow your inner self. ;)
