RE: I need some advice
What you seem to need is a shield. Shielding is relatively simple, but requires a lot of concentration unless you already do it on a regular basis naturally. Shielding is pretty much just forming an impenetrable bubble of energy around you that keeps other forms of energy out. Since you want to feed at the same time though, you will also want to move on to a more advanced form of shielding called a filter, which is a shield that allows only the energies through that you designate it to upon forming the filter. Filters require even more energy and concentration to sustain than shields, so they are not used too often.
To create a shield, form a sphere of energy within yourself, more like a bubble rather than a solid surface, because you want it to have a little give to it to prevent it from breaking when someone attacks you. Once you've formed the "bubble" make it grow and expand until it grows beyond your body and surrounds it. This will keep any energies from getting to you as well as keeping any energy from getting out. Which is why to need to advance it to a filter if you want to do anything other than defend yourself from attack. Just visualize the shield being porous with little holes that allow only certain things through.
If all your trying to do though is keep from feeling what the other person is feeling though, I would advise just dealing with it. Learning to understand what emotions and thoughts are coming from another person rather than from your self is a very handy skill to have just in case someone or some other worldly entity decides it wants to get you to do something you normally wouldn't do by suggesting a thought or emotion to you with your knowledge, making you think it's your own. This technique is called manifesting, charging your energy with a thought or emotion,even simple commands, and projecting it for others to feel as their own. (I've done this when driving late at night to get pesky drivers to get out of my way, though I've only been able to get them to slow down or speed up just enough for me to get by and it only has worked while they're too tired to resist my influence) Practice feeling out the difference when you're feeding so that you know what is coming from you and not someone else. That way when someone else does it to you intentionally, you will be able to recognize it and react accordingly.
