October claims that she can tell what a person is feeling just by touching that person. She is socially limited by her intense sensitivity to others. How has this gift been a blessing or curse to October?

I found October's "gift" very intriguing and could relate to that gift to some degree. It is very easy for me to empathize with other people. When someone is happy, it is a grand thing but if someone is very sad or depressed, I can feel myself sinking down with them. It is very draining and I sometimes have to distance myself. So my answer would be that her gift was both a blessing and a curse depending on whose feelings she was tuning in to. For her, sometimes not knowing until she physically touched them would have been the hardest part as it appeared as though the touching really amplified her connection.

As a performance artist, being able to tap into others' emotions must be a plus. For October, this rawness that she feels when around others and sensing their feelings makes her own life so limited. I think her gift made her more sensitive to Joe than most people would be.
