Can you feel things you've never experienced?

I can. It’s why I am so afraid of things in life sometimes.

I have never been in love so I’ve never had my heart broken. But I can easily imagine the pain.. the sinking feeling in my chest.. the nausea..shortness of breath.. tears.. feeling like the world will end. I almost cry just thinking about it. How can this be if I’ve never even come close? What does this say about me?
