Are you an Empath? - Do you feel too much, and hurt too much?
Ever thought you were too sensitive? Felt too much? This link I found explained a lot to me. Empaths are very sensitive people, who pick up on other peoples' energy, and it affects them.http://www.empathtest.com/ See what you think!
Empathright here ...yup it's my gift curse as I call it ..
Hi there!
I definitely think I'm an empath! I've always been very, very sensitive to other people's feelings and moods - even to the point of feeling them myself. I didn't understand why I kept replicating people, and always wondered if I even had my own personality. Not replicating people is hard for me and doesn't seem to work very well. Crowds, especially those that are cheering, are super super hard for me.
Recently there have been more scientific research backing the existence of empaths, calling them hyper-empathetic!
Same , but youre doing great tho have a great day @uniqueOcean72
I definitely am. Sometimes it
@wanderingYves
I have theories. It requires a certain amount on innate imagination. With me I also have a sensory disorder that records vast amounts of sensory inputs. It also can be refined with training and experience.
yes, I have to set limits. compassion fatigue is a problem.
@aroundtheworld77- how true- realize my life was spent being available for others.
I'm an empath. I've never had a problem with dramatics or being over sensitive. Mine has been people being uncomfortable with me when they realize I can see their emotional state and they can't hide it from me. Or worse I'm asked to do parlour tricks like reading people. Either way people don't find me comfortable to be around. I was a horrible person when I was young. I used my gift to gain advantage or even leverage on others. I made amends where I could.
I think I'm an empath but I resist it. I can tell I am empathetic by the way that others affect my emotions. However I'm very guarded, I feel for others but I find it difficult to offer them comfort, which ends up making me feel more emotional.
I need help. Does anyone lose themselves. I find i take on traits and habits of others I spend.time with. Nothing that goes against my ethics or core...just ancillary things. Body language and mannerisms. I mimic and it's frieghtning. My wife knows who was on my crew when I get home from work because of it. She also watches my revert once in away from their influence. Some times I'm childish in nature, it reminds people of like a adolescence. I was asked once why, it kinda scared me when I stated "Its the last time I know it was me!" It was a epiphany for me. It traumatized me too, i question every moment if this is me or just another I have taken on?
