Is there something I can't reprogram in my mind?

I rarely come across a problem in my mind that I can't do anything about. It almost never happens. Usually, I can see the programming structure behind my issues, I can figure out some of the algorithms and I can at least initiate a process that will eventually solve this problem.

But there is one thing that I really can't do anything about:
I am an empath.

I feel other people's emotions as if they were my emotions. If there is someone within a few meters I feel what this person feels.

Unfortunately, I can't see the code for this kind of "empathy". I can't find the programs behind it. When I try to trace those feelings as if they were my emotions, it doesn't work. I can't see any programs connected to emotions that aren't mine, so I can't do anything about it.

I don't know how it is possible to feel somebody's emotions. I don't know the science behind it. All I know is that it seems to be distance-dependent and that I don't like being an empath.
It's very difficult for me to properly investigate it because when I'm alone, those structures are not active. I can't find anything related, I feel great and everything is fine. When I'm around people who experience negative emotions, I feel overwhelmed by their negative emotions, I can't think, I can't focus, I feel very bad. So I'm not in good shape to investigate anything at that moment.

I've tried everything and nothing seems to work. I can't turn that off. The best I could do was to reduce the intensity a bit. I found a few programs that were artificially increasing my sensitivity. I found a belief that "I'm responsible for how other people feel" and another one "because I'm responsible for how other people feel, I need to suffer as they do". Removing them helped to reduce my sensitivity, but not to the point where I could function normally around my family.

At least I've learned to discern which emotions are mine and which are not.
If I feel some emotions when there's nobody around, or I can find a program behind them, then they are my emotions.
If an emotion disappears when a person goes away, or I can't see any program behind it, then I feel something that is not mine.

One might think, that I must be a very happy person if I can reprogram my mind. That I must feel awesome all the time.
Yes, I am happy. I feel great and I feel free… when I'm alone.
I've spent most of my life struggling with other people's emotions. All those things I write on my blog I do when I'm in a safe distance from people with negative emotions. Most of the time I'm not and I struggle with their emotions and feelings, or I wander around my neighborhood without any purpose. I feel that I've wasted most of the time of my life being overwhelmed by emotions that are not mine.

When I feel other people's emotions, it is exactly as if those were my own emotions. They affect my thinking and my behavior. If I want to write a post on my blog and I don't want it to be influenced by negative emotions that are not mine, I need to do it when I'm alone in the house. That's why sometimes I can't write for a few days, even if I want to.
