Do your conversations with God sound like this?

"God, what is wrong with me?  Emotions seem to come from nowhere, interrupt my day and make life difficult.  There is no logical explanation! Headaches hit and run.  Why am I so easily overwhelmed?  Why do I avoid noisy crowds and hate to shop?  Why do I need nature and solitude; prefer books, computers, libraries and animals to people?  Why do I hurt when I'm around people?  The doctor said my chest pains don't exist.  He took my blood, took my money, patted me on the head and sent me home!  Something is wrong with me God."

Something physical may be going on, never rule that out.  But, also consider that you may be a natural burden bearer.  You or someone you know, may be wired to be highly sensitive—not just physically sensitive, but emotionally and spiritually as well.  It isn't good or bad, it is simply the way you are designed.  If that's the case, there is definitely nothing wrong with you!

If you are a natural burden bearer, you are highly sensitive, which means you experience life differently than most.  Your nervous system draws in more data, meaning you sense and feel peoples' feelings, troubles, and confusions—even physical pain.  You are also more likely to be more strongly affected by your environment than most; hence your need for quiet and reflection.  That may be why you hide in books, computers, libraries and laboratories.

If you are a Christian, being a natural burden bearer means you are built to empathize with God, and share what He feels in much the same way you are able to share the feelings of other people.  You will find these issues and much more in my book, The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity.  There are reasons, and there are answers.
