My emotional state seems to be partially affected by the emotional states of those around me. If someone is in a bad mood, I become truly empathetic at first and just worry about that person's state of mind, and then if their bad mood persists long enough, I start to adopt a bad mood myself.
Why are bad vibes so catching?! I'm going to force a smile and try to make this go away.

I used to be like that, but then, I decided I would be better off if I retain my own mood and refuse to let them bring me down. If they won't come up to my level of happiness, fuck 'em.

Consoling them and giving them comfort is fine. Just don't let them make you feel bad. It's not worth it.

It's pretty cool that you're becoming more sensitive to the vibes that people throw out. Sounds like you just need some psychic protection right now. For me what helps is relaxing completely and becoming like a fluidic being so that the negativity flows right through; cluing in with my higher self and recognizing that this reality is an illusion and to participate in the drama would waste energy. Sometimes I envision myself as a different being or creature, one that would not be affected by such trivial matters. Sometimes I put myself in a green pyramid and become a buddha-being. Sometimes I go to a different dimension and flit around until the situation on Earth is less stressful.
Sometimes I get a crystal and focus my energy on that. Black tourmaline is known for its ability to psychically protect the wearer. Herbs can be cleansing, or some raw foods. Sometimes I go to the gym.
These are all coping mechanisms I try to use to diffuse negative energy and fear. I sometimes don't remember, and sometimes I just fucking confront whatever it is that is bugging me and approach the source of the felt negavity. But I have to remember that any negativity or fear I feel is just coming from within myself, even if it FEELS like it's coming from another person, *I* am the one responsible for the experience of the feeling and what to make of it. These days I just have to sigh and transmute the negative vibes into loving ones. I just try to remember love.
Just some ramblings, because I constantly have to work with fear these days to keep it in check. Reality is so intense! I'm still learning...

Even better results if the crystal you're focusing on happens to be pure LSD. 
I dunno, maybe I've just become more tolerant and less sensitive to other people's moods. You have to take care of yourself, before you can take care of others.
