Emotion absorbance

Today was a long day, not full of events or tasks. Just emotions 😮‍💨 Lately, I have been feeling like I am a sponge that absorbs everybody's emotions and then I can't get out and have to fight it a lot and take a lot of time and process to get over it, even though that the person that had the emotions has went over it or let it go. Have you faced something similar? What do you do?
