Does anyone else have their feelings manifest as a physical sensation when they're strong? I mean literally a physical sensation.
It's hard to explain what it's like, but for me, when I feel extremely isolated/alone and it's almost an overwhelming feeling, it's like my skin turns to plastic and I turn into a hallow shell. I don't mean that metaphorically in sense of the word, it literally feels like my skin expands and goes stiff while the inside of me feels weightless.

Yes, all humans do. Horrific betrayals feeling like "an ice knife stabbed into your heart" isn't just metaphorical, it actually feels like that.

Maybe you experience emotions more strongly than most.

Isn't that just what strong emotions are?

For me, intense loneliness is my heart turning into a heavy stone in my chest
Absolutely, I'm a nervous wreck. When I'm very anxious, emotional or stressed out I can't eat. The sight and smell of food make me sick. That can last for a while. Anxiety makes me nauseous to the point where you start salivating before you vomit. I visibly tremble/shake when I'm nervous or upset.
I'm also so infatuated with someone that sometimes when I'm thinking about him my heart races and my breathing speeds up and gets heavy like a creep. My whole body gets hot, especially that area. It will happen randomly, even in the middle of work when I'm with other people, but he can make it happen just by saying something nice to me.
I have feelings of regret that hit me so hard that my whole body twitches. I just got over some feelings of shame that made me hit myself. Emotions are strong.
