Im a empath. I had to create boundaries for myself to navigate peacefully in this world. 1) Never ask for love, give it! 2) Never ask for respect, give it! 3) Never ask for an apology, give it! but only if it truly comes from your heart! 4) One day you will die, and the sun will rise and it wont be late. So enjoy every moment because it is beautiful!
yeah thats really nice but this channel is also about not abandoning ourselves, I can't abandon myself , as I also have needs at time for love, being heard, being seen, reciprocity - I can help meet some of those needs and also need people that can and are willing to help me meet them , so it isnt like i always need to give to others and never receive because thats not healthy and abandoning myself, thats extreme codependence etc, and not humanly healthy.
My girlfriend is an empath yet im a really confident and quite loud and strong person. This video has to really helped me to understand her point of view much more. Thank you ;)
i am a highly sensitive person.I get burned out very easily.I frequently have to curl up with a blanket and lie down in order to get my strenght back. My narcissistic mother used to shame me, because i was not extroverted.
wendell ignatin: my ex’s mother was the same way, she took me out to coffee once and said I had to be extroverted to fit into the family. Safe to say that relationship is long over.
I spent my whole life not knowing why I was this way, I just tried to survive my Narcissist Mother and Step Jerk Thru the emotional she pulled and the physicality he did as a child.. I was pretty messed up at 15 on the streets I just spent my life wanting peace that’s all!! Thru a lot of abuse in my life for 52 years!! I’m still wanting peace and it’s far far from here!!😢
Cari my name is Art im in Tennessee of the USA. i was looking around for something to help me explain how i am to others who dont understand me. i just read your comment but didnt before i read yours. sorry it looks like i copied what you wrote but i didnt. I like Stephanie, i never knew until today that she was an empath. im 55 and have many health issues but live to help others by sincerely feeling what people close to me feel. I lost my first youthful love in a horrific car accident. She burned up in front of me as her car caught fire. i was in shock for few years.im better now but i now know why i took it so hard. Thanks for what i know you must do (as i do) for others.. im sure a wonderful person...Art
Sometimes I see a clip of an animal suffering or someone getting hurt, and that two-seconds image hunts me for days. Thus, it continues making me sad, or not at my best happy self, and a lot of people, who are not empaths or don't understand what it is, keep nagging with their ''oh get over it already". It is a blessing and a curse to be an empath. I embrace this trait. It was very comforting hearing "it ain't an illness". Thank you
Exactly. But the dualité is good-evil. It only takes one match to light a whole dark room, figuratively speaking. I try to be in the "bargaining phase" of the grieving cycle. I want to be a heyoka-empath...also experience sumum experiences (creative synergy)... not just
watching this for my girlfriend. been living together for 2 years. this explains so much that was right in front of me and I didn't realize it until you said it. you're literally describing my girlfriend. i need to learn much much more.
That's how I found this video. My baby daddy has been doing lots of research on Empaths, what we need, how our brains works & how we need to be loved. (Idk, I think he still loves me lol 😉)
I think at the age of 59 I’m just about done with relationships all together. We now live in a society where being fake and dishonest is the new norm. I’m drained both physically and emotionally. I used to be social, but no longer look to meet new people. I feel safer and more healthy alone.
We stick with those that matter in our lives. I keep trying but realize I am most upset or baffled with my immediate family members. Maybe they feel the same way about me. I just really need honest communication. Worked hard facing betrayals and healing. Will not go back there. So I try to be appropriate, vulnerable, open, and honest. I am misunderstood yet told am a breathe of fresh air. I talk to God a lot and journal to my Heavenly Father. Nature helps me. My cats do as well. I am 67 with chronic health issues so no time for relationship drama or ones that are not nourishing or flourishing. I pray for others and keep releasing them. Yep, crazy world now. Not my home. Take care.
danielle 22226 I understand your comment completely. I am so over superficial and fluff expression and communication. Unfortunately, I am not married to someone who enjoys going deeper. I have some honest girlfriends online and through a support group. Relationships take energy, time, investment. Some for specific reasons and seasons.
Yes. Super awesome info. I also am an empath. The hardest part of this is feeling everyone else’s emotions and learning how to shrug it off. Especially when you are in toxic situations..... when they’re angry... I feel my blood pressure boil. When they’re fine.... I feel great. When they’re satisfied ( which is hardly never ) I am happy. When they’re sad or depressed... I battle it for a day or two. It’s brutal. Takes me that long to shrug it sometimes and then I start to revive. 😩 Throughout all the stone walling, etc... I fake the smile and keep on pushing but the wall is extremely high and difficult. Ty so much for the video
I politely smile, as my room-mate invades my personal emotional space...(giving well meant advice). Later behind closed Doors, Aline or with empath colleague, I can shrug it off... (people do not realize we can also be extremely angry, if offended...(not just always understanding), but are masters at managing our myriad of internal emotions on the "external sensory level"
"Being an empath is a trait, not an illness". Love that sentence! Empaths are social creatures. Yet I have the impression that they are not perceived as such. I have often been called "asocial" because I do not like to network (in a crowded area with bad acoustics) or because I do not subscribe to the idea of "self-branding" and shallow smalltalk. It appears to me that our (Western) societies are overvaluing competitive behaviour, while undervaluing caring and compassionate people. That is a pitty. At best, some individuals value empaths for who they are; but how to lever this from the individual to the societal level?
I have always said that schools should teach kids to work together and not to compete against each other. In NY most people compete and then brag about their conquests, simply terrible.
I can’t begin to tell you how much your videos have supported my journey to overcoming codependency, understandings self love and being an empath. Thank you for the work that you do Stephanie!
If you're an empath, learn how to express your own feelings to your partner. They can give you alone time, but they can't decipher your feelings for you. And they cant support you if you can't honestly say "I feel ****"
I really don't know if I'm an Empath and a Co-Dependent, or only Empath. I suffered from narcissistic abuse my hole life. Only on the beginning of the last year I finally totally collapsed, and after a small shutdown period I started to study and learn how to defend my self. Your videos help me, thank you. Those decades of psychological abuse toke a huge price on my physical and metal health, but that's another history. For now, I'm trying to figure-out if I'm a co-dependent or not. Empath, I know I am. Anyway, thanks Stephanie for your work!
One thing i've always hated about myself is the fact that i couldn't help but cry in the middle of arguments or confrontations. And that made me feel weak and pathetic. But now i understand where it comes from.. thank you for your videos beautiful :)
Thank you for this video Stephanie, I used to view being an empathic person as a curse, because I care way too much. But now I view it as a gift. I once had a relationship end, because the person I was with could not understand why i needed alone time. They actually thought I was cheating on them. Or if we got into an argument, and I walked away without saying anything, they thought it was because i didn't care, but I process things differently than they did. Its nice to know a fellow empathic person who understands me. By the way you are awesome Stephanie, keep up the good work!
100 % accurate information 👌 God bless you 🙏 Best thing to deal with Empath is witness their action(s) and simply let them come back to normalcy. Never ever make judgments based on their impulsive actions, it's all short lived. And, yes meditation is their best tool to deal with the situation so one with Empath(characteristics) must remain connected with their spiritual master while being "on the Go" Thank you again
You're AWESOME !!!!!! Thank you soooooo much for doing this !!! And I love the way you do your makeup where you don't overdo it and let your natural beauty show. I know that has nothing to do with this video. But it never hurts to be told you are pretty! God bless you lady!
I would add… for someone in a relationship with an empath, to accept that there partner is reacting to very real invisible energies. And to ask why they might be behaving strangely. instead of assuming, ignoring, minimising or mocking. Thanks for the video. 💜
I am a empath . It's a gift and it's a good one . Few people understand us . But , it gets to a point were we learn to understand ourselves and that is all we need .
This is an amazing explanation of empathy for a person who loves an empath in family, friends, or intimate relationships. I have tried to put these things into words so many times & it always fell short. Thank you very much ❤️
Thank You Again Stephanie for another great UA-cam video. I was loving and kind towards my ex-wife while we were dating for 3 years. And while we were married for 7 years. And yet she didn’t appreciate anything that I ever did for her. She took me for granted. And she took my love for her for granted. And even though I loved her. She didn’t love me. In fact she didn’t love me or respect me for that matter. And all I ever got from her for ten years is disrespect. And name calling and insults and threats. And bitching and complaining. And blaming and accusing. And mind games and guilt trips. Always blaming. Always accusing. And back then I didn’t no what an empath was. And I just thought that I was doing my part as her husband to love her and treat her with kindness and respect. But unfortunately for me… She didn’t love me. In fact she never loved me. And she was never in love with me. And that’s what she said to me after she made my life a living hell for ten years. I never loved you. And she was smiling at me when she said it. And then she smiled at me again and she said… I mean I loved you. But I was never in love with you. She broke my heart with those hateful, spiteful, hurtful words. And then she said this to me after I divorced her… She said… Do you know why I was such a BIT** to you? And then she smiled at me and she said… Because you were too nice. Too nice? Really? These were the crazy making words that she said to me to break my heart. And she drove me to have a nervous breakdown after the horrible way that she mistreated me for ten years. Thank GOD that I finally reached my breaking point and walked out on her and divorced her. And unfortunately I had to shut her out of my life forever to keep her from destroying me. And that was one of her favorite threats to me. And she said to me… If you ever leave me? I’ll Destroy You! And she also threatened to kill me. And she said to me… If you ever leave me? I’ll Kill You! She also said to me… Your not a man! Your a momma’s boy! Your a coward! Your a looser! For ten years she used those words to destroy my self esteem and my sense of self worth. She was a heartbreaker. And she was a crazy maker. And she was an emotional manipulator who deceived me and betrayed me. Thank God I got away from her before she murder me or had me killed or murder by her dad or her brother or her boyfriend who she was cheating on me with behind my back. Or made out a false police report to have me killed by the police. She was a monster. And that’s why I had no other choice but to divorce her and shut her out of my life forever. NO CONTACT. Thank’s Again For All You Are Doing To Enlighten Us As To Just How Cold Hearted And Heartless And Cruel These Narcissists And Sociopaths Are. But one day they will have to answer to GOD for their wickedness and deceitfulness. Thank You GOD for this woman and her UA-cam Videos. GOD IS GOOD.🙏❤️✝️
Stephanie is 100% right on here. I work with the mentally ill and as someone who has a mental illness M.D.D. recurring, I have great compassion for those who are less fortunate than myself. Being an Empath is exhausting. I am totally drained after an 8 hour shift, not just because of their needs but because my heart just aches for them as most of them never get any visitors from their families or anyone else for that matter.
I relate to this so much. I'm an empath but I think because I was so used to taking on so many people's energies I kinda learned how to be a social chameleon/ butterfly even as an introvert. I do have a strong sense of self but keep my social circles very limited as a precaution. With therapy and as I've gotten older I'm learning to embrace it as a gift and a way to signal when to give myself a break and to love myself even more. Thank you for this channel!
3 generations ofcempaths or more: my mother, me and at least one brother, my African son.../Only realizing now at 49, why I like to sell or promote goods and services, and am able to tap into peoples emotions (not just observing their facial expressions)
probably why I feel drained after my job, its not even my job, my job isnt burdensome, its fun, its just, I work in a social enviroment, in the shopping centre.
The whole social settings thing is definitely something I relate to. I can go to a social gathering for maybe a couple of hours and then I’m ready to go. It is exhausting, and oftentimes when I have plans like that, I wish I hadn’t made the plans bc it sounds so exhausting!
Definitely one of your best videos.I'm an empath, and you described my personality and my needs in a relationship right on target. Thank you for sharing this information. As always, looking forward to your next video. Your presentation style is so down to earth and just very comforting. Happy Thanksgiving.
Terrific video! I'm a new subscriber!! This is so interesting because sometimes I feel like I am empathetic but nothing compared to my boyfriend. He gives and gives and puts himself last, he has told me about how group settings affect him before and I don't think I took it serious enough. I see him more clearly now after this video, thank you for helping me be able to meet him where he is at, rather then trying to change him to suit my needs.
I truly appreciate this info. Everything you said is on point . Just want to add : Empaths Need to Have " ME TIME & SELF BOUNDARIES " . Dont be so eager to help eveyone , Learn To Limit Thyself.
This video spoke so deeply to me. I wish I knew all this yearssss ago, but the past few years have been such a self discovery after identifying that I am an empath and all that entails. Thank You!
I was in a relationship with someone I believe is an empath. I also have many empathic traits or I possibly AM an empath as well, or at least a HSP. We couldn't make the relationship work at all (I'd say it was borderline toxic), because I was very vocal about my own difficulties and mental health issues that I struggled with (because I need to be able to do that with a partner), while he often stayed quiet about his own problems and needs. This video is helpful for empaths and for people dating empaths in the ways you can "protect" yourself/your empathic partner, but it kind of doesn't talk about the empath's responsibility. Many empaths need to work on their boundaries, and many are people pleasers and some may also try to fix their partner so that THEY don't have to deal with picking up the other's feelings because THEY didn't learn to handle their own empathic abilities (many don't know they have these abilities so it makes sense). These are maldaptive behaviors that in the end won't serve a relationship if you want it to last, and they're possibly also a sign of copependent traits. I believe that empaths can learn to detach from the energies they feel from others through setting boundaries, and as you say, take alone time, but then they also need to learn to be vocal about these needs and basically communicate with their partner. I was far from perfect in my relationship and I'm trying to work on my own issues now and have learned a lot from it, but I got all the "blame" for it not working out, because my empathic ex didn't take responsibility for his part. Also, sometimes I get a little bit tired of the empath label and I don't like the whole "I'm an empath, you're [something else]" kind of black and white thinking, because it makes it seem like some people have empathic abilities + the types of needs and limitations you describe in the video, while others DON'T. This is quite frankly not a helpful way of viewing it. For instance, I believe a lot of people with extremely empathic traits have found unhealthy ways of coping with their strong needs (in a society that doesn't value having such needs) like drinking or other substance abuse, so they turn into addicts. They can seem like social butterflies and all that who are often around other people, but deep down inside they're just lonely empaths that haven't been given the tools to understand their own innate empathic nature.
I'm learning to be a better me for me.This is an excellent video, it named my traits to a "T".I do need time alone,I love to help people, but when someone is too high strung,I shy away from them.
Just like many facets of our being, empathy plays an integral role in providing stability, peace and harmony in our lives. I too am glad to have this ability. And of course, any ability as far as we know has it's painful fallible kryptonite and a "dark side" to it. We're not perfect, no one is, and that's part of the beauty of it too as well as learning and striving to be better.
Oh thank you! If you are following me on Instagram I do little mini videos on my IGTV talking about more beauty self-care tips, but for the most part I just try to take care of myself.. work out, rest when I need to, etc.
I recognize myself so much in this video. U described it so well. When I hear u talking I'm thinking "wow she is so simular to me, why I never meet people like her in real life". It's true, I feel so understood when u talk. But in real life I feel like no one is simular to me.
I'm an empath but I love social situations but afterward phew! I need time to decompress. Usually though I want to decompress while my partner holds me and chills with me many times, just watch a movie and relax. No one else around.
I'm an INFJ and one of the worst things that my mother who was a narcissist did and not intentionally to hurt me was to insist and guilt trip me into having a 21st birthday , very hard to make the argument that you don't want it , I found it quite traumatic actually , do not like being the centre of attention . I have healthy boundaries now and after a long time of self discovery ,doing all the wrong things drinking too much self destructive behavior , late bloomers we are . Actually only found out I was an INFJ about 5 months ago and I'm 57 years old , found putting my thoughts in writing very helpful and I really quite enjoy it and can express myself well for someone who is not highly educated , but I can think critically and that is most important. I did Cognitive Behavioral therapy over 10 years ago and there is a lot to be said about working on yourself , as opposed to have someone tell you what is not right about you , you discover what is right about you, very empowering and with self awareness and honesty being one of the core values , you can be honest with yourself about what needs work and also fair with yourself . Thank you Stephanie I just came across your channel very insightful and great advice .
This was awesome! My mom was the first person to shed light on this trait she saw in me, even though she did not use the term “empath”. So true that sometimes I get so mad at myself for taking on someone else’s problems, and I can’t change that.. def trying to accept this is a part of who I am.. thanks for the video.. always so helpful.
THANKs for this. As am empath, I was so incredibly fortunate to have grown up practicing Buddhism, which literally is the practice of empathy in action (compassion), which taught me to respect my abilities and limits. Sometimes I'd just need to be alone with music to help me snap out of deep feelings...so I never had to shy away from feeling. I am still learning/re-learning that MANY folks would rather avoid deep feelings b/c they associate that with negativity, whereas the skilled empath can heal.
You are a beautiful person and where can we find fellow empaths to love like we love endlessly and deeply without fail where are we because i need to find someone just like you and i, And i hear the emotion in your voice and see the wetness in your eyes your feeling it as you say it and im the same i can't not know the gravity of and the depth of not loving fully and deeply and unconditionally i have to be all in with love give everything i can emotionally for somebody and yet I've never been given the same love back from anyone where are all you true empathic women because i don't know where you are 😔
awesome info after listening to your youtube i understand now what s happening. one of my best friend and partner is a Empath now i understand now why she needs her space. thank you
Loved this! Wish I had known any of this about myself at a much younger age! *cough *cough Lol. Thanks again Stephanie for more priceless info we need to share about ourselves to the people in our lives that just might not 'get it '. I'm an INFP, HSP, empath, I adore all of me now and what goes along with these personality/genetic traits but, boy- the rocky road to get here! Lol. Stephanie, we need to know; what Meyer's Brigg's type are U?? 💖💖Love and blessings!
I really wish all this info was around when I was growing up! It would have been immensely helpful. I still need to build up my confidence in certain ways since I have some degree of social anxiety and I worry too much to the point where it holds me back from taking chances. I have missed a lot of potentially good opportunities in life. And I have given too much to the wrong people before I started researching all this. Anyway, INTP, HSP, maybe slightly HFA here, not that you care, lol. Stephanie's videos have been really helpful and enlightening along with many other professionals on youtube. I'm thankful they provide so much knowledge for free.
Stephanie, what another fantastic video! The part where you mentioned needing alone time after school to recharge resonated with me deeply. Years ago during high school, my friend and I would spend plenty of time with each other throughout the day, but she never understood why I didn’t want to hangout after school. She viewed it as, we both go home and do nothing, so what’s your excuse to not hangout? I remember feeling really guilty/bad that I just wanted to be alone, talk to my mom, probably play The Sims (ha!), but your video truly helped me better understand myself. Thank you always for sharing your gift with the world. You’re helping so many and changing their lives! Blessings to you xxx
Wow. Such an enlightening video. I recently began to realize that I am an empath and your sample situations from your past describe some of what I went through in the past. I didn't know what it was -- always needing to step back to "digest" events, the day, etc. It really didn't work well in my last relationship with a covert narcissist who demanded all my attention. Needless to say, three years of trying to make it work went down the drain. Thank you, Stephanie.
The woman that I'm hoping to be with is highly empathetic. It doesn't help that she has come from a very abusive relationship with a narcissist demon. From listening to her talk about all of her past relationships, none of the men she has been with have been very empathetic towards her. I am somewhat empathetic myself but watching your videos on empathetics, narcissists and abuse have really helped me understand her. Right now she considers me her very dearest friend with indications that she wants more as well and she is always calling me her earthly angel. I intend to build that friendship with her for a lifetime and show her that some men don't abuse women. I care more about her than just her physical beauty unlike all the others she has been with. God walks proudly with her and has delivered her from the fire, if it is His will He will allow me to take her other hand and walk with them. Thank you Miss Stephanie for all of your help and guidance.
This is my favorite video Stephanie, I didn't know you were an empath? I literally just want to cry knowing that about you. Don't you believe I'm an empath too? I literally just want to crawl into bed and die, that's how I feel every day now because I totally messed up with you. But I get up I get out of bed I do my day and I feel hope.
I'm watching this for my sister. She is always there for me anytime I need her. Now she is going through a very rough time but insist that she doesn't need me to do anything.
i have known i was an Empath since the death of my best friend back in the 1970s. counseling revealed much to me that has helped me understand why i am the way that i am. I have been following you for some time. i really like your channels content. i relate to you though im a man. Maybe i know now why i understand you so well. Thanks for the video. So helpful.
I love this! Thank you! It helps me to understand myself better and it explains why many of my relationships have felt very onesided and my need for alone time has been very misunderstood in the past. This is a great, non-threatening explanation of me! 😂
I had always thought of my sensitivity, tendency to get overwhelmed or drained, and desperate need for alone time as signs of deficiency and echos of unhealed wounds. This change of perspective can make it easier to assert my boundaries without guilt or shame. Cool. Thanks.
Being alone. It's weird being both an extrovert and an empath (maybe). I love(d) meeting new people, getting to know the new person, welcoming them to the group, making people feel welcome and accepted, but also love being alone in my house with nobody else, including pets, around.
Stephanie, this is such a beautiful video, I'm an empath and I always know when something is going on with someone else and I want to take it on as my own, hence staying in such a toxic relationship for so long, I wanted to be that person to help him realize he was better than he thought he was
#1: alone time, spot on!! i am an empath and i compromised my need for alone time in my last relationship. my ex didn´t understand why i needed time at all. even though he was pretending that it is alrigt, whenever i wanted to take time on my own he gave me a bad feeling. in hindsight i feel this was actually the first step of our failure, as i lost my self so much in the process, being not able to decompress and always being enmashed with his energy.... big lesson learned (hopefully)
I quite like using 'empathic' (the older version of the word) rather than 'empathetic', simply because the latter contains the work 'pathetic', which can encourage people to judge!
def consider myself highly empathetic, it is exhausting to take on other people’s feelings and situations. mainly my family, but i’m learning not to make someone else’s reality my own. that’s what i always tell myself to ensure i’m keeping my own feelings and identity. i’m realizing that i need to stay present and focus on controlling my own emotions and not taking on anyone else’s, but i will always be there for anyone that needs me, but never to a fault. not anymore. It is draining tho and i do get overwhelmed easily. Sometimes i feel like a tornado inside but i just take a step back and remind myself that i’m okay. i do live mingling and socializing once i’m out and about and looking good! it makes me feel confident and free ❤️ but i do agree strong personalities and argumentative people DRAIN ME. 🙃
I'm an empath I am very social but I do need my alone time to recharge. I find out that was an empath due to an abusive relationship with a narcissist. even when I left him I keep feeling. Therapy sessions helped me to understands who I am as an empath and how to corporate with myself and others . That's why I protect myself
Thank you Stephanie! You are doing great work with your beautiful and compassionate empathic heart and soul. I am an HSP and empath as well who grew up in a very dysfunctional family. It is a miracle of God that I survived. So I have spent my life studying human behavior, life sciences, the Bible in the original languages (the translations are not as good as they should be), and everything I can learn about healthy living. So when I tell you "you are doing great work", I have a well qualified perspective. (-: Some years ago, I developed The Science of Optimum Health which has saved my life and health and that of many others. If you would be interested in learning what the "doctors" don't know and can't tell you, I would be happy to share these blessings with you.
Hi Stephanie - just discovered your AWESOME channel. Wow! So much wisdom, intelligence and well articulated advice. I love both your inner- as well as your outer beauty!
Not just healers. Empaths are the Tinker Bells of this world. They spill magic powder all around ❤️
As an Empath, I LOVE this! I always use a 🧚♀️ as my signature or sign off lol. 💞
Im a empath. I had to create boundaries for myself to navigate peacefully in this world.
1) Never ask for love, give it!
2) Never ask for respect, give it!
3) Never ask for an apology, give it! but only if it truly comes from your heart!
4) One day you will die, and the sun will rise and it wont be late. So enjoy every moment because it is beautiful!
Me too. Great advice king
♥️♥️
✌🏾
yeah thats really nice but this channel is also about not abandoning ourselves, I can't abandon myself , as I also have needs at time for love, being heard, being seen, reciprocity - I can help meet some of those needs and also need people that can and are willing to help me meet them , so it isnt like i always need to give to others and never receive because thats not healthy and abandoning myself, thats extreme codependence etc, and not humanly healthy.
My girlfriend is an empath yet im a really confident and quite loud and strong person. This video has to really helped me to understand her point of view much more. Thank you ;)
i am a highly sensitive person.I get burned out very easily.I frequently have to curl up with a blanket and lie down in order to get my strenght back. My narcissistic mother used to shame me, because i was not extroverted.
A lot of us were shamed because there is a smaller percent of people who are HSP or Empaths that most people don't understand so they judge us.
wendell ignatin: my ex’s mother was the same way, she took me out to coffee once and said I had to be extroverted to fit into the family. Safe to say that relationship is long over.
not only do they judge,but they try to make you like them.
I spent my whole life not knowing why I was this way, I just tried to survive my Narcissist Mother and Step Jerk Thru the emotional she pulled and the physicality he did as a child.. I was pretty messed up at 15 on the streets I just spent my life wanting peace that’s all!! Thru a lot of abuse in my life for 52 years!! I’m still wanting peace and it’s far far from here!!😢
i understand where your coming from.Believe me.
I’m a Empath too. It’s been a struggle, but learning more about myself has helped me tremendously.
Absolutely!
Same. I didn’t even know what that was. Now so much of my life makes sense
Cari my name is Art im in Tennessee of the USA. i was looking around for something to help me explain how i am to others who dont understand me. i just read your comment but didnt before i read yours. sorry it looks like i copied what you wrote but i didnt. I like Stephanie, i never knew until today that she was an empath. im 55 and have many health issues but live to help others by sincerely feeling what people close to me feel. I lost my first youthful love in a horrific car accident. She burned up in front of me as her car caught fire. i was in shock for few years.im better now but i now know why i took it so hard. Thanks for what i know you must do (as i do) for others.. im sure a wonderful person...Art
Thank you for this.. I’m an empath (newly discovered thanks to you) and I’ve never understood why I was so different. Proud to be one! ❤️
Yes!! It has helped me tremendously too!! ❤️
Sometimes I see a clip of an animal suffering or someone getting hurt, and that two-seconds image hunts me for days. Thus, it continues making me sad, or not at my best happy self, and a lot of people, who are not empaths or don't understand what it is, keep nagging with their ''oh get over it already". It is a blessing and a curse to be an empath. I embrace this trait. It was very comforting hearing "it ain't an illness". Thank you
You are definately a empath . It happens to me .
Exactly. But the dualité is good-evil. It only takes one match to light a whole dark room, figuratively speaking. I try to be in the "bargaining phase" of the grieving cycle. I want to be a heyoka-empath...also experience sumum experiences (creative synergy)... not just
This happens to me too
watching this for my girlfriend. been living together for 2 years. this explains so much that was right in front of me and I didn't realize it until you said it. you're literally describing my girlfriend. i need to learn much much more.
That's how I found this video. My baby daddy has been doing lots of research on Empaths, what we need, how our brains works & how we need to be loved. (Idk, I think he still loves me lol 😉)
me too...
I think at the age of 59 I’m just about done with relationships all together. We now live in a society where being fake and dishonest is the new norm. I’m drained both physically and emotionally. I used to be social, but no longer look to meet new people. I feel safer and more healthy alone.
We stick with those that matter in our lives. I keep trying but realize I am most upset or baffled with my immediate family members. Maybe they feel the same way about me. I just really need honest communication. Worked hard facing betrayals and healing. Will not go back there. So I try to be appropriate, vulnerable, open, and honest. I am misunderstood yet told am a breathe of fresh air. I talk to God a lot and journal to my Heavenly Father. Nature helps me. My cats do as well. I am 67 with chronic health issues so no time for relationship drama or ones that are not nourishing or flourishing. I pray for others and keep releasing them. Yep, crazy world now. Not my home. Take care.
danielle 22226 I understand your comment completely. I am so over superficial and fluff expression and communication. Unfortunately, I am not married to someone who enjoys going deeper. I have some honest girlfriends online and through a support group. Relationships take energy, time, investment. Some for specific reasons and seasons.
Yes. Super awesome info. I also am an empath. The hardest part of this is feeling everyone else’s emotions and learning how to shrug it off. Especially when you are in toxic situations..... when they’re angry... I feel my blood pressure boil. When they’re fine.... I feel great.
When they’re satisfied ( which is hardly never ) I am happy.
When they’re sad or depressed... I battle it for a day or two. It’s brutal. Takes me that long to shrug it sometimes and then I start to revive. 😩
Throughout all the stone walling, etc...
I fake the smile and keep on pushing but the wall is extremely high and difficult.
Ty so much for the video
Aww~ I feel you! It hurts right? 🥺 Sending you healing and love. ~
@@maceyr.6583 tytyty. We just are an emotional rollercoaster, whether we want to believe it or not.
@@dreambeliever3652 i agree with the emotional rollercoaster.
I politely smile, as my room-mate invades my personal emotional space...(giving well meant advice). Later behind closed Doors, Aline or with empath colleague, I can shrug it off... (people do not realize we can also be extremely angry, if offended...(not just always understanding), but are masters at managing our myriad of internal emotions on the "external sensory level"
Wishing you positive affirmations, insiste, strength
Empath loving another empath is gold. 🥺☺️❤️
"Being an empath is a trait, not an illness". Love that sentence! Empaths are social creatures. Yet I have the impression that they are not perceived as such. I have often been called "asocial" because I do not like to network (in a crowded area with bad acoustics) or because I do not subscribe to the idea of "self-branding" and shallow smalltalk. It appears to me that our (Western) societies are overvaluing competitive behaviour, while undervaluing caring and compassionate people. That is a pitty. At best, some individuals value empaths for who they are; but how to lever this from the individual to the societal level?
Thats the reason they deserve themselfes cancer
I have always said that schools should teach kids to work together and not to compete against each other. In NY most people compete and then brag about their conquests, simply terrible.
I can’t begin to tell you how much your videos have supported my journey to overcoming codependency, understandings self love and being an empath. Thank you for the work that you do Stephanie!
If you're an empath, learn how to express your own feelings to your partner. They can give you alone time, but they can't decipher your feelings for you. And they cant support you if you can't honestly say "I feel ****"
So helpful and so on point never heard how I feel put in words the way you did. Very helpful. Thank you I needed that.
I really don't know if I'm an Empath and a Co-Dependent, or only Empath.
I suffered from narcissistic abuse my hole life. Only on the beginning of the last year I finally totally collapsed, and after a small shutdown period I started to study and learn how to defend my self. Your videos help me, thank you.
Those decades of psychological abuse toke a huge price on my physical and metal health, but that's another history. For now, I'm trying to figure-out if I'm a co-dependent or not. Empath, I know I am.
Anyway, thanks Stephanie for your work!
One thing i've always hated about myself is the fact that i couldn't help but cry in the middle of arguments or confrontations. And that made me feel weak and pathetic. But now i understand where it comes from.. thank you for your videos beautiful :)
Me too I feel like a baby.
I hate sometimes that I feel and love so much and so deeply that people can hurt me so easy. It's so hard to keep a shield up and maintain it.
Great video Stephanie !!!! Everything you said is true!!!! I believe that another Empath is the only one who really understands another Empath.
Just your speaking tone and clear eyes radiate a soothing, healing energy...thx so much. : )
Thank you for this video Stephanie, I used to view being an empathic person as a curse, because I care way too much. But now I view it as a gift.
I once had a relationship end, because the person I was with could not understand why i needed alone time. They actually thought I was cheating on them. Or if we got into an argument, and I walked away without saying anything, they thought it was because i didn't care, but I process things differently than they did. Its nice to know a fellow empathic person who understands me. By the way you are awesome Stephanie, keep up the good work!
100 % accurate information 👌
God bless you 🙏
Best thing to deal with Empath is witness their action(s) and simply let them come back to normalcy.
Never ever make judgments based on their impulsive actions, it's all short lived. And, yes meditation is their best tool to deal with the situation so one with Empath(characteristics) must remain connected with their spiritual master while being "on the Go"
Thank you again
I love how your skin always looks so radiant and glowing . Could you reveal your skin care secrets? You're so beautiful!
I have skincare tips on my Instagram!
You're AWESOME !!!!!! Thank you soooooo much for doing this !!! And I love the way you do your makeup where you don't overdo it and let your natural beauty show. I know that has nothing to do with this video. But it never hurts to be told you are pretty! God bless you lady!
@Marylee Macpherson Aw, that's really nice. Thank you!💜❤💙💚🧡💛💗🌞
I also enjoy your face 😃
Yes her makeup is so spot on and she's beautiful
It warms my heart to hear this. Jus feel misunderstood most of the time
I would add… for someone in a relationship with an empath, to accept that there partner is reacting to very real invisible energies. And to ask why they might be behaving strangely. instead of assuming, ignoring, minimising or mocking. Thanks for the video. 💜
I am a empath . It's a gift and it's a good one . Few people understand us . But , it gets to a point were we learn to understand ourselves and that is all we need .
Being an empath level of awarness is fire🔥now excepting who we are is never something anyone can simply do.💕
As an empathic individual I really appreciate this video. Thank you for dealing with this important topic. I hope those who need to see this do watch.
This is an amazing explanation of empathy for a person who loves an empath in family, friends, or intimate relationships. I have tried to put these things into words so many times & it always fell short. Thank you very much ❤️
I do not know how to thank u i really admit u changed all my life and found myself through ur coaching 💜💜💜
Thank You Again Stephanie for another great UA-cam video. I was loving and kind towards my ex-wife while we were dating for 3 years. And while we were married for 7 years. And yet she didn’t appreciate anything that I ever did for her. She took me for granted. And she took my love for her for granted. And even though I loved her. She didn’t love me. In fact she didn’t love me or respect me for that matter. And all I ever got from her for ten years is disrespect. And name calling and insults and threats. And bitching and complaining. And blaming and accusing. And mind games and guilt trips. Always blaming. Always accusing. And back then I didn’t no what an empath was. And I just thought that I was doing my part as her husband to love her and treat her with kindness and respect. But unfortunately for me… She didn’t love me. In fact she never loved me. And she was never in love with me. And that’s what she said to me after she made my life a living hell for ten years. I never loved you. And she was smiling at me when she said it. And then she smiled at me again and she said… I mean I loved you. But I was never in love with you. She broke my heart with those hateful, spiteful, hurtful words. And then she said this to me after I divorced her… She said… Do you know why I was such a BIT** to you? And then she smiled at me and she said… Because you were too nice. Too nice? Really? These were the crazy making words that she said to me to break my heart. And she drove me to have a nervous breakdown after the horrible way that she mistreated me for ten years. Thank GOD that I finally reached my breaking point and walked out on her and divorced her. And unfortunately I had to shut her out of my life forever to keep her from destroying me. And that was one of her favorite threats to me. And she said to me… If you ever leave me? I’ll Destroy You! And she also threatened to kill me. And she said to me… If you ever leave me? I’ll Kill You! She also said to me… Your not a man! Your a momma’s boy! Your a coward! Your a looser! For ten years she used those words to destroy my self esteem and my sense of self worth. She was a heartbreaker. And she was a crazy maker. And she was an emotional manipulator who deceived me and betrayed me. Thank God I got away from her before she murder me or had me killed or murder by her dad or her brother or her boyfriend who she was cheating on me with behind my back. Or made out a false police report to have me killed by the police. She was a monster. And that’s why I had no other choice but to divorce her and shut her out of my life forever. NO CONTACT. Thank’s Again For All You Are Doing To Enlighten Us As To Just How Cold Hearted And Heartless And Cruel These Narcissists And Sociopaths Are. But one day they will have to answer to GOD for their wickedness and deceitfulness.
Thank You GOD for this woman and her UA-cam Videos. GOD IS GOOD.🙏❤️✝️
Stephanie is 100% right on here. I work with the mentally ill and as someone who has a mental illness M.D.D. recurring, I have great compassion for those who are less fortunate than myself. Being an Empath is exhausting. I am totally drained after an 8 hour shift, not just because of their needs but because my heart just aches for them as most of them never get any visitors from their families or anyone else for that matter.
I relate to this so much. I'm an empath but I think because I was so used to taking on so many people's energies I kinda learned how to be a social chameleon/ butterfly even as an introvert. I do have a strong sense of self but keep my social circles very limited as a precaution. With therapy and as I've gotten older I'm learning to embrace it as a gift and a way to signal when to give myself a break and to love myself even more. Thank you for this channel!
3 generations ofcempaths or more: my mother, me and at least one brother, my African son.../Only realizing now at 49, why I like to sell or promote goods and services, and am able to tap into peoples emotions (not just observing their facial expressions)
I also feel really drained after crowded social situations. Makes sense.
It is common for empaths to feel like that in social situations - you are not alone!
@@StephanieLynCoaching thank you
probably why I feel drained after my job, its not even my job, my job isnt burdensome, its fun, its just, I work in a social enviroment, in the shopping centre.
A trip to Costco even
The whole social settings thing is definitely something I relate to. I can go to a social gathering for maybe a couple of hours and then I’m ready to go. It is exhausting, and oftentimes when I have plans like that, I wish I hadn’t made the plans bc it sounds so exhausting!
I think I discovered one of the most important trait of myself today ♥️ ..
Thanks Stephanie !
Definitely one of your best videos.I'm an empath, and you described my personality and my needs in a relationship right on target. Thank you for sharing this information. As always, looking forward to your next video. Your presentation style is so down to earth and just very comforting. Happy Thanksgiving.
Terrific video! I'm a new subscriber!! This is so interesting because sometimes I feel like I am empathetic but nothing compared to my boyfriend. He gives and gives and puts himself last, he has told me about how group settings affect him before and I don't think I took it serious enough. I see him more clearly now after this video, thank you for helping me be able to meet him where he is at, rather then trying to change him to suit my needs.
May your tender heart be blessed in every way.
I will keep this vedio and when i meet someone that catches my eye i will show them thanks!
I truly appreciate this info. Everything you said is on point . Just want to add : Empaths Need to Have " ME TIME & SELF BOUNDARIES " . Dont be so eager to help eveyone , Learn To Limit Thyself.
This was such a great explanation. I'm exactly as what you have described, hence the trouble I have with relationships.....
This video spoke so deeply to me. I wish I knew all this yearssss ago, but the past few years have been such a self discovery after identifying that I am an empath and all that entails. Thank You!
Love, safety and comfort.
Wow.
I am amazed by your wisdom and insights
I was in a relationship with someone I believe is an empath. I also have many empathic traits or I possibly AM an empath as well, or at least a HSP. We couldn't make the relationship work at all (I'd say it was borderline toxic), because I was very vocal about my own difficulties and mental health issues that I struggled with (because I need to be able to do that with a partner), while he often stayed quiet about his own problems and needs. This video is helpful for empaths and for people dating empaths in the ways you can "protect" yourself/your empathic partner, but it kind of doesn't talk about the empath's responsibility. Many empaths need to work on their boundaries, and many are people pleasers and some may also try to fix their partner so that THEY don't have to deal with picking up the other's feelings because THEY didn't learn to handle their own empathic abilities (many don't know they have these abilities so it makes sense). These are maldaptive behaviors that in the end won't serve a relationship if you want it to last, and they're possibly also a sign of copependent traits. I believe that empaths can learn to detach from the energies they feel from others through setting boundaries, and as you say, take alone time, but then they also need to learn to be vocal about these needs and basically communicate with their partner. I was far from perfect in my relationship and I'm trying to work on my own issues now and have learned a lot from it, but I got all the "blame" for it not working out, because my empathic ex didn't take responsibility for his part.
Also, sometimes I get a little bit tired of the empath label and I don't like the whole "I'm an empath, you're [something else]" kind of black and white thinking, because it makes it seem like some people have empathic abilities + the types of needs and limitations you describe in the video, while others DON'T. This is quite frankly not a helpful way of viewing it. For instance, I believe a lot of people with extremely empathic traits have found unhealthy ways of coping with their strong needs (in a society that doesn't value having such needs) like drinking or other substance abuse, so they turn into addicts. They can seem like social butterflies and all that who are often around other people, but deep down inside they're just lonely empaths that haven't been given the tools to understand their own innate empathic nature.
I'm learning to be a better me for me.This is an excellent video, it named my traits to a "T".I do need time alone,I love to help people, but when someone is too high strung,I shy away from them.
Just like many facets of our being, empathy plays an integral role in providing stability, peace and harmony in our lives. I too am glad to have this ability. And of course, any ability as far as we know has it's painful fallible kryptonite and a "dark side" to it. We're not perfect, no one is, and that's part of the beauty of it too as well as learning and striving to be better.
Wow as a kid I didn’t know boundaries due to abuse but I would ask my parents to tell my friends I couldn’t hang out cause I didn’t want to 😂
llotus.eaterr Lol ! This made me laugh bc I’m the same way
😂😂😂 same here!!! so glad I’m not the only one
You are glowing!! Could you please do a daily self care/spiritual practice routine? Can’t wait to share this video with my partner.
Oh thank you! If you are following me on Instagram I do little mini videos on my IGTV talking about more beauty self-care tips, but for the most part I just try to take care of myself.. work out, rest when I need to, etc.
You rescue me. Watch over and over. Bless you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I recognize myself so much in this video. U described it so well. When I hear u talking I'm thinking "wow she is so simular to me, why I never meet people like her in real life". It's true, I feel so understood when u talk. But in real life I feel like no one is simular to me.
I'm an empath but I love social situations but afterward phew! I need time to decompress. Usually though I want to decompress while my partner holds me and chills with me many times, just watch a movie and relax. No one else around.
I'm an INFJ and one of the worst things that my mother who was a narcissist did and not intentionally to hurt me was to insist and guilt trip me into having a 21st birthday , very hard to make the argument that you don't want it , I found it quite traumatic actually , do not like being the centre of attention . I have healthy boundaries now and after a long time of self discovery ,doing all the wrong things drinking too much self destructive behavior , late bloomers we are . Actually only found out I was an INFJ about 5 months ago and I'm 57 years old , found putting my thoughts in writing very helpful and I really quite enjoy it and can express myself well for someone who is not highly educated , but I can think critically and that is most important. I did Cognitive Behavioral therapy over 10 years ago and there is a lot to be said about working on yourself , as opposed to have someone tell you what is not right about you , you discover what is right about you, very empowering and with self awareness and honesty being one of the core values , you can be honest with yourself about what needs work and also fair with yourself . Thank you Stephanie I just came across your channel very insightful and great advice .
This was awesome! My mom was the first person to shed light on this trait she saw in me, even though she did not use the term “empath”. So true that sometimes I get so mad at myself for taking on someone else’s problems, and I can’t change that.. def trying to accept this is a part of who I am.. thanks for the video.. always so helpful.
THANKs for this. As am empath, I was so incredibly fortunate to have grown up practicing Buddhism, which literally is the practice of empathy in action (compassion), which taught me to respect my abilities and limits. Sometimes I'd just need to be alone with music to help me snap out of deep feelings...so I never had to shy away from feeling. I am still learning/re-learning that MANY folks would rather avoid deep feelings b/c they associate that with negativity, whereas the skilled empath can heal.
You are a beautiful person and where can we find fellow empaths to love like we love endlessly and deeply without fail where are we because i need to find someone just like you and i, And i hear the emotion in your voice and see the wetness in your eyes your feeling it as you say it and im the same i can't not know the gravity of and the depth of not loving fully and deeply and unconditionally i have to be all in with love give everything i can emotionally for somebody and yet I've never been given the same love back from anyone where are all you true empathic women because i don't know where you are 😔
awesome info after listening to your youtube i understand now what s happening. one of my best friend and partner is a Empath now i understand now why she needs her space. thank you
It is so good to know we are not ill but empaths. :-) Thank you.
i’d cry when listen to this. This is me.Thanks for educated us❤️
Nice talk. I'm an empath also. I stayed single living alone because of it.
Loved this! Wish I had known any of this about myself at a much younger age! *cough *cough Lol. Thanks again Stephanie for more priceless info we need to share about ourselves to the people in our lives that just might not 'get it '. I'm an INFP, HSP, empath, I adore all of me now and what goes along with these personality/genetic traits but, boy- the rocky road to get here! Lol. Stephanie, we need to know; what Meyer's Brigg's type are U?? 💖💖Love and blessings!
Crystal Jean INFJ myself.. its awesome and tough at the same time.
I really wish all this info was around when I was growing up! It would have been immensely helpful. I still need to build up my confidence in certain ways since I have some degree of social anxiety and I worry too much to the point where it holds me back from taking chances. I have missed a lot of potentially good opportunities in life. And I have given too much to the wrong people before I started researching all this. Anyway, INTP, HSP, maybe slightly HFA here, not that you care, lol. Stephanie's videos have been really helpful and enlightening along with many other professionals on youtube. I'm thankful they provide so much knowledge for free.
Stephanie, what another fantastic video! The part where you mentioned needing alone time after school to recharge resonated with me deeply. Years ago during high school, my friend and I would spend plenty of time with each other throughout the day, but she never understood why I didn’t want to hangout after school. She viewed it as, we both go home and do nothing, so what’s your excuse to not hangout? I remember feeling really guilty/bad that I just wanted to be alone, talk to my mom, probably play The Sims (ha!), but your video truly helped me better understand myself. Thank you always for sharing your gift with the world. You’re helping so many and changing their lives! Blessings to you xxx
Wow. Such an enlightening video. I recently began to realize that I am an empath and your sample situations from your past describe some of what I went through in the past. I didn't know what it was -- always needing to step back to "digest" events, the day, etc. It really didn't work well in my last relationship with a covert narcissist who demanded all my attention. Needless to say, three years of trying to make it work went down the drain. Thank you, Stephanie.
The woman that I'm hoping to be with is highly empathetic. It doesn't help that she has come from a very abusive relationship with a narcissist demon. From listening to her talk about all of her past relationships, none of the men she has been with have been very empathetic towards her. I am somewhat empathetic myself but watching your videos on empathetics, narcissists and abuse have really helped me understand her. Right now she considers me her very dearest friend with indications that she wants more as well and she is always calling me her earthly angel. I intend to build that friendship with her for a lifetime and show her that some men don't abuse women. I care more about her than just her physical beauty unlike all the others she has been with. God walks proudly with her and has delivered her from the fire, if it is His will He will allow me to take her other hand and walk with them. Thank you Miss Stephanie for all of your help and guidance.
You are a poetic, HSSP at least, if not an awakening empath...
This is my favorite video Stephanie, I didn't know you were an empath? I literally just want to cry knowing that about you. Don't you believe I'm an empath too? I literally just want to crawl into bed and die, that's how I feel every day now because I totally messed up with you. But I get up I get out of bed I do my day and I feel hope.
Life is so good being away from the adrenal fatigue & the cognitive dissonance of doubt.
i'll never get people who put thumbs down on these kinds of videos, who are these negative nancies?
I'm watching this for my sister. She is always there for me anytime I need her. Now she is going through a very rough time but insist that she doesn't need me to do anything.
She is so blessed to have you in her life. Pray for your sister. God bless you!
i have known i was an Empath since the death of my best friend back in the 1970s. counseling revealed much to me that has helped me understand why i am the way that i am. I have been following you for some time. i really like your channels content. i relate to you though im a man. Maybe i know now why i understand you so well. Thanks for the video. So helpful.
Thank you for this. I'm a empath and it does get hard. Thank you so much❤️
Extremely helpful!
Thanks for sharing this I am one of them 🙏
I love this! Thank you! It helps me to understand myself better and it explains why many of my relationships have felt very onesided and my need for alone time has been very misunderstood in the past. This is a great, non-threatening explanation of me! 😂
Very true, your analysis... Thank you!
Love what you are doing.
Needed to see this today! Wow... thank you sooo much, made me emotional watching because I long for that kind of care.
I had always thought of my sensitivity, tendency to get overwhelmed or drained, and desperate need for alone time as signs of deficiency and echos of unhealed wounds. This change of perspective can make it easier to assert my boundaries without guilt or shame. Cool. Thanks.
So much needed!!
Thanks for the honest video . I felt like I was seeing myself in a mirror (internally)
Being alone. It's weird being both an extrovert and an empath (maybe). I love(d) meeting new people, getting to know the new person, welcoming them to the group, making people feel welcome and accepted, but also love being alone in my house with nobody else, including pets, around.
Some healers, priests , children are also connectors...
Love your videos, Stephanie, they’ve helped me so much, love from Scotland 🏴 xx
Carol Maclean ❤️🏴 on my list of places I want to visit
Scotland is beautiful place filled with real people.
Being a "heyoka" empath is really difficult at times. We are set apart from all other empaths & considered the most powerful unique people on earth.
Yes!!! Every word!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
trying to be a better partner to my girlfriend as she is a big empath, everything youve said is true about her. i needed this insight
Stephanie, this is such a beautiful video, I'm an empath and I always know when something is going on with someone else and I want to take it on as my own, hence staying in such a toxic relationship for so long, I wanted to be that person to help him realize he was better than he thought he was
Thank you for another helpful video.
MORE POWER TO YOU STEPHANIE!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.🙃
#1: alone time, spot on!! i am an empath and i compromised my need for alone time in my last relationship. my ex didn´t understand why i needed time at all. even though he was pretending that it is alrigt, whenever i wanted to take time on my own he gave me a bad feeling. in hindsight i feel this was actually the first step of our failure, as i lost my self so much in the process, being not able to decompress and always being enmashed with his energy.... big lesson learned (hopefully)
My god...
If I'd had this source MAAAANY years ago, my life would've been sooo different. So much (better) more in my favor.... 😔
My ex never let me have that sought after time alone. Yes. So exhausting!
Great video and thank you so much.
Thank you so much, this was very reassuring xxx
I quite like using 'empathic' (the older version of the word) rather than 'empathetic', simply because the latter contains the work 'pathetic', which can encourage people to judge!
def consider myself highly empathetic, it is exhausting to take on other people’s feelings and situations. mainly my family, but i’m learning not to make someone else’s reality my own. that’s what i always tell myself to ensure i’m keeping my own feelings and identity. i’m realizing that i need to stay present and focus on controlling my own emotions and not taking on anyone else’s, but i will always be there for anyone that needs me, but never to a fault. not anymore. It is draining tho and i do get overwhelmed easily. Sometimes i feel like a tornado inside but i just take a step back and remind myself that i’m okay. i do live mingling and socializing once i’m out and about and looking good! it makes me feel confident and free ❤️ but i do agree strong personalities and argumentative people DRAIN ME. 🙃
Hi. Subbed. Love the contents. Keep up the fun. Have a fantastic week and a even greater weekend.
Nature is my therapy 💚🙏
Always amazing videos💕 you taught me so much about myself I appreciate it🎯
I'm an empath I am very social but I do need my alone time to recharge. I find out that was an empath due to an abusive relationship with a narcissist. even when I left him I keep feeling. Therapy sessions helped me to understands who I am as an empath and how to corporate with myself and others . That's why I protect myself
Thank you Stephanie! You are doing great work with your beautiful and compassionate empathic heart and soul. I am an HSP and empath as well who grew up in a very dysfunctional family. It is a miracle of God that I survived. So I have spent my life studying human behavior, life sciences, the Bible in the original languages (the translations are not as good as they should be), and everything I can learn about healthy living. So when I tell you "you are doing great work", I have a well qualified perspective. (-: Some years ago, I developed The Science of Optimum Health which has saved my life and health and that of many others. If you would be interested in learning what the "doctors" don't know and can't tell you, I would be happy to share these blessings with you.
Hi Stephanie - just discovered your AWESOME channel. Wow! So much wisdom, intelligence and well articulated advice. I love both your inner- as well as your outer beauty!
Great on understand this as wasn't clear about these people 👍 thank you, I like my meditation and reiki 🙏
The daily struggle for me as an empath is extremely difficult.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spot on. Every word. Thank you!!!
