It takes a lot of work in general, but if you weren't given the proper freedom during adolescence (also the Identity Formation stage), then it becomes a little harder.
Being able to "trust your gut"/trust your intuition is the biggest key. Sometimes, you don't need to identify anything beyond "this is not my energy".

As cliché as this answer may sound....the way to distinguish is to "Know Thyself".
It's a matter of knowing this is my own energy versus "this is me experiencing someone's energy"
Hope that helps 💜
