Same I hate it cause it makes me feel uncomfortable and then my body shows it then they think I'm scared so it's hard feeling other people's feelings especially the dark heavy energies
dat boi, - I put it down to maybe their heart chakra is blocked with maybe with some sort of heart break. I feel which other chakras are blocked in my body to try and work out why. Or it could be that they have a check infection/cold. Experience and other signs tells me the difference. To do this though, I have to meditate and balance my own chakras regularly and keep myself balanced and grounded.
It’s so hard for us to actually be heard, we constantly are helping others and trying to fix their problems. I tend to hide and isolate when I’m overwhelmed. Also, our intuition is crazy accurate. Beware of narcissistic wolves out there because they feed off us.
@@vickiebrewer5898 Got one (the narcissis) as a parent ... unfortunately I can't "divorce" her, and am "forced" to be a care-giver to her now that she's so old that she no longer can take care of herself. Not sure how long I'll need to do this. 😕
My thoughts exactly. I'm finally finding out who and what I am I happen to be a light worker, you'll be one to. Check it out. Really interested as well. Xx
@@giuseppinastella9310 OH , I KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUN YOU'RE HAVING, NOT! My home burned down a year ago and I've come full circle back in my childhood bedroom. We should share stories. My Son talks to her, but not me. It's lovely
Does anyone else get random people or acquaintances talking to you about their problems when you meet them? And they thank you for listening and they feel better and they leave?
Towanda Life Isolating yourself from people seems like a lonely existence. We need to bond with others and share love with others. Our feelings should not govern us; they are tools that we must manage. Never allow your "feelings" to be in the driver's seat, they will usually steer you in the wrong direction. Incorporate more logic in your thinking. Being sensitive to others is a wonderful thing, but keep it wholesome and balanced. God bless you.
Same I isolate myself from the world my husband and daughter are pretty much all who see me everything from working at home I don’t like being out around large crowds it makes my senses go crazy and then I’m emotionally drained
Right? Here's a tip, what you are helping others with is ussually great advice for yourself as well! Keep looking for the coorelations and you'll find them!
To anyone who needs this: I found that saying the phrase “Let all emotions not my own return to their rightful owner” aloud to myself helps me center myself when I feel emotionally overwhelmed.
That's crazy because I was thinking spirit attachment because it's been so over welming to explain the feelings I've been expressing when they're not anything to do with stuff around me so I've been saying that all things that aren't mine be evicted because they're trespassing
Hi Mitch, hope this message finds well and healthy. i read your words and understand all you said. if you don't mind, i will tell you what i do everyday. every time i hear or read upsetting news from around the world or close by, is, i say a pray, just quietly to myself asking for my unconditional love healing prays to go out to all that needs my prays now. i believe the power of pray can heal anyone or anything even move mountains... after my prayer, i always feel so good about myself which raisers my vibrations to myself and others around me... sorry for such a long message but i just want and try to help... god bless you always ....
I want a video about how to cope with this world. I feel us empaths have a deep responsibility to save this world... We are in an extremely bad place with climate change. Inequality. The suffering that capitalism has caused around the globe. The looming idea of fascism. Its too much....
I do not like being an empath at all. That’s too much power to have. I can’t be in crowds of people, I can feel people all the time. I’m often depressed because I unknowingly absorbed another’s depressed state. I can feel people through walls. I can literally meet a person for the first time and in a few minutes, I completely know the person. I can tell when a person is lying to me. Everyone always seems to come to me for advice. It was fun at first, but it’s extremely overwhelming. I literally shut myself inside the house.
Lincoln try the steps I suggest. It can get easier for you when you learn how to balance. Here's another video that may give you more insight ua-cam.com/video/DLKAtQwmKlk/v-deo.html&lc=z23lhfyqqkeoxdatiacdp43bbgviposfnuzluu2fqmdw03c010c.1547155804574698
i deliberately dont read the news because it affects me so profoundly. Reading about people dying or undergoing hardships and strife always leaves me crying my eyes out. When I tell people I don't read the news for this reason, they look at me like as though I'm insane. That they want to know what's going on in the world. That they've become desensitized. People tell me their problems and I absorb their emotions and take them as my own and it gets so mentally exhausting that I sometimes can't differentiate between my emotions and people's emotions. My problem is that I have a nurturing, healing soul. I always want to help people no matter what. To ease their suffering in any way I can and when I can't.. it makes me despair.
I am the same. I try to have a lot of ME time. As many hours as possible. Just so I can recharge my energy and stop feeling emotionally overwhelmed. It's a dilemma: I have this innate drive to help people because it's my purpose in life and at the same time I try to avoid people only cuz I end up feeling emotionally worn out to the point where I end up crying and feeling profoundly sad. I often have trouble breathing cuz my chest feels heavy when I am sad.
Yes because our DNA is of the angels. We are the 'starseeds' from other dimension and we're all here to being changes in society as well as to raise frequency of the this planet. We live in other dimensions all our lives and that's why we love to be isolated.
I already know to sometimes .... if I mess up somehow they let other people know it even tho the narcs do the same thing 😂 but my sin has to be broadcasted ... it does bother me but it's getting where it doesn't bother me as much because i think i finally starting to understand
Same; you have to really step back and understand that most people, the vast majority, don't see things the way we do. For instance, when you hear a story of someone who trusted someone who clearly should NOT have been trusted, and it ends badly for them. For us its frustrating because we clearly can see, in an instant what kind of person this individual was and that they never should have been trusted under any circumstances. What we have is a SURVIVAL instinct, we sense the predators among the herd.
Same I've felt things were not right at times, and come to find out I was right it's like a over whelming feeling of somethings wrong, and it's in the back of my mind, and in my chest.
Being an Empath can be very draining. We have to take a break from people because we intake so many emotions. I can feel when people are jealous and hateful. But I can also feel when people mean well.
I question the things I know all the time. I know when someone is annoyed at me and why, but then tell myself I’m imagining it. Even if they are being pleasant to my face. Makes me want to avoid others. Does anyone else get that?
If I had a $1 for every time someone said to me "you're too sensitive" I'd be a gazillionaire. Discovering I'm a Empath changed my whole life. Once I learned how to boundary myself and sort the information, I'm a much better guide for people who are lost. I also learned to clear myself several times a day especially if I've been in a public place or working with someone.
I truly enjoy my alone time. This is why I love nature and the beach, especially the water. I find it soothing, relaxing, and I can let go all the toxicity in my (from the outer world).
The worst part about being an empath is being near someone and not feeling anything. It’s truly sad that there are people living with no feelings at all.
I do pity those people because they might be people diagnosed with Anti-social personality disorder which is caused by traumas in their life that broke the frontal lobe of their brain which is responsible for empathy,so doing crimes and being cruel feels addiction to them like a pleasure even if they don't like the bad things they did and they know they'll regret in the end cuz when they get called out they always hurt themselves and said:"I want to feel!" So maybe there's part of childhoods trauma where they were taught that emotions are weakness...So doing crimes is like a drug to them and their struggles are like of a drug addict because they might crave it but will regret they did it
Whenever I'm honest I get called rude. But tbh, you only like animals because they cant talk back to you. You'd rather not exert effort in socializing with people realizing people have both good and bad in them, even you.
I’m a groomer. Dogs can be calming but if they get anxious I feel it then I get anxiety. I’ll have to calm down center myself and reassure them they will be fine. Many times they do calm down so animals can pick up on our senses too.
@@3KeyElementsThank you, it is a family thing, my Dad, my daughter and my son. It is a subtle knowing of "just knowing". I am so happy your video showed up...It is a Leap Year, it is a #4 year of the Truth...Most important is we have a Spiritual Gift from God, "discerning of spirits". God Bless us all and thank you so much, I feel better about who I am and God's Gifts straight from Heaven. Be kind and love one another...
Since childhood people have said “don’t be so sensitive!” so I’ve grown up trying REAL HARD to not be sensitive, but I can’t help that. I cry from movies, tv, hell even commercials! I turn off the aspca commercials cuz I just can’t. I can feel, and explain, how others feel. I’m even sensitive towards words being over used. Every time you used the word ‘literally‘, I rolled my eyes.
Mines was so bad where people said I was simply too nice and i’m so sensitive that they would call me a cry baby. Even my own father says that i’m sensitive that I need to toughen up. I’ve had so many people that would tell me I need to toughen up and not only that I love to help people so when I can’t, I feel so so so bad.
@@chocolatechipc00kiesmwuah71 That's horrible and am sorry you went and go through that. IMO those are people you make jealous due to your caring nature and they want to make you like them, uncaring a$$holes. You keep being you, this is the only life we get and we all gotta make it the best we can
Yes, I've learned that I'm an empath with a fearful avoidant attachment style. I always thought something was wrong with me. Nothing is wrong with me, I was just raised by a narcissist who groomed me to be complicit in the abuse and manipulation. Now I am self-aware, more empowered, I know my worth and now have boundaries. I've grown and healed a lot, and I love myself a lot more now, so I'm very grateful for who and what I am.
Right I have a narcisstic mother I am out in public wonderin and askin myself why am I side-eyeing other people- a horrible trait to succumb yet I get home and now I see my mum side eyeing me I'm doing it because of her I always feel like saying sorry to people. It's sad kinda but we will all prevail empaths-
I also thought I was sick in the head.because I can sense the negativity I’m a person that has no friends I don’t believe in friends,my own family was enough for me.I can read people fast.and that gets me .so I stay to myself.
@@catherinematlock4271 that's the truth! I've seen it on some people's faces like they thi k I can see through them, that I won't conform in the dance of the false self (not in a negative way), I prefer openness. They know it and they can't be
My wife always be confused when I tell her that I sense something different when someone say something but their eyes and body language movement tells me something different... and my sensitivity is always on point..
and wife gaslights me telling me, I don't see that in her, I don't se that in him....I'm fine what are you talking about, what makes you say that....yeah.... because all small talk and trivial conversations are shortly turned and made about her....sigh...
This is resonance....what I call equivision.....horses 'see' this way innately and when around them we can 'see' that...they mirror what actually is. They are authentic and in the moment by nature and tuned in turned on for survival. When we become aware that what we feel is a reflection of our perspective we can choose to explore what flows (or doesn't) through the lense/filter/perspective connection or circuit if you will ...tune it....****PAUSE here...am I connecting dots that aren't there because... AMP my best friend and first horse growing up was named Ample Power (official race name with the jockey club c1980) and I was just about to type " and amp it up or turn it down" . you know what I'm talking about? Agh. science
I always feel like certain people avoid me - eye contact, elevator, group lunches and when around their significant others... it’s as if they know I know and they are not sure 🤔 what I have going but it makes them feel very uncomfortable and it makes me feel awful too... like no one likes or understands me and I tend to be a loner for this reason. Glad to know I’m not alone... truth seeker here and that scares people.
The people that are "wary" of you are likely other empaths that are using their ability in a negative way. They may not even realize they are empaths but they do know they are using their abilities in a negative way. They sense you, your ability, and your "goodness" and are threated by it. 1. Sense of guilt because at some level they know they are doing bad things, 2. you'll see through their games and can expose them. Normally they'll just avoid you for those reasons. If you are forced to interact (say people at work) with them on a regular basis they will see you as a threat so be careful.
This is actually what I thought was wrong with me, thought I had DID, (Discociated Identify Disorder), & have learned a lot about it, and thought my personality fractured into many, but now it's looking like I am an Empath, (like Counselor Troy)
My workplace can literally be crippling for me. Their negative vibes and attitude can be not directed at me but I feel it and it throws me off. I've felt these things for years and when I finally realized I was empathic and sensitive I started adjusting. I became more of an introvert due to this.
My workplace was as toxic as it gets. I was a prison guard for 20 years and let me tell you the negativity in that place was overwhelming. I retired a year ago and I'm still processing everything, it's been difficult.
Being an empath at times a curse and a blessings..it’s draining ...this sensitivity is helpful but also painful at times..I am working in better self awareness to protect me..
I agree completely...I was told to walk away when things get toxic as a form of protection however, I can't walk away from everything. When I stand up for myself or enforce boundaries the toxicity gets worse. I am constantly bombarded with problems and it's way too much to take in.....
it's hard.. it's one reason why I stay away even from my blood relatives.. I know when people don't like me. I know when people talk about me . and feeling what they exactly feel is so draining.. I never go out unless it's necessary, for errands etc..
Elizabeth Freer it’s true, curse if we don’t know how to use it, a blessing if we know how to use it. I don’t know how to manage it yet. I hate it, I even know when my husband fancy a lady, in his thoughts of course. So Painful.
I have been a nurse for almost 50 years. I call patients emotional and energy vampires. I always felt drained after shifts. It took me a few years to realize that I am an empath. Now I pretty much stay in my home. I'm never bored. I'm writing a book at the age of 80. I also cannot tolerate negative people. I have a male friend that is a glass half full guy. One day he came over in a tizzy. I asked him if he could not complain. He said not today. I said, then please go home. I cannot tolerate the wave of negativity around you today.
This explains my social anxiety disorder. I used to be in a toxic situation at work. I was surrounded by negativity and bullying. It's so difficult to be around phony people. I cant be lied to because I see right thru the lies. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt because I feel guilty that I know they are lying and than I realize later that I was correct in the individual lying to me, and I get burned by this person and then I dont trust anyone. Its exhausting. I'm older now and I find I cant tolerate certain people, and situations that I could tolerate when I was younger. I'm even finding out that I will sometimes avoid hobbies that I thoroughly enjoy because it involves dealing with people. I know I cant live like that I just find it very challanging. I know that I need lots of sleep and I guess I need to start jounaling too. I hope journaling will help.
Yes, I went through the same thing on my last job and ended up leaving. I was a victim of a few narcs. Now I am struggling with anxiety as well. I am researching for growth with this. At least I know what it is now. Wow
Lois Day ..Yes journaling helps..and it helps you to grow and understand yourself in the different seasons of your life as you go back later and read what you have written its like gift you give to yourself..sometimes you will amaze yourself...Enjoy your journaling experience it will give you a piece of mind as you write and 'release'🐣
Lois Day Thank you for sharing your experience with the world so we don’t feel alone. In my case, I’ve become so “cold” with people who approach me because I’m scared of their “energy” and many times I’m so withdrawn that I lose the change to meet nice people. In my workplace I couldn’t stand have my lunch in the staff room so I was on a daily basis in the park eating my sandwich holding an umbrella on the other hand (Londoney weather🤷🏽♂️). Doing so, I just made myself look as the mean one who doesn’t like people. The truth is I love people! I just need to built some boundaries so that their feelings and energy doesn’t affect me.
@@3KeyElements thank you! I've been resisting this for years. Have many journals with one line, one page attempts, only to be set aside. Thank you for this video, specifically for recommending journaling. I am sending your link to two new empath friends who are newly on this empaths journey as I am.
I didn't know I was an empath for the majority of my life. The chaos, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, etc. are the telltale signs of being an empath and not knowing it. I have always tended toward a person who internalizes everything and turns inward and blame myself for whatever the issue is...shame, blame, self-abuse...I had a lot of healing to do, and am still doing... That being said, as an empath, the greatest gifts that God has given me are the gifts of discernment and the gift of being grounded. I've known I had the discerning gift for most of my life, but the other one has only come to light in the past year...and has helped me to have more confidence in what intuitively comes to me about and for others. These have been the most helpful to me until I had a conscious realization that I was an empath. You can pray for gifts. I was in a 23-year relationship that had so much cognitive dissonance that it was extremely confusing to me for the first 10-15 years. I ended up doing so much internal, personal work to figure what was really true...what was me and what was the other person. I got so good at it, I was able to immediately discern what was mine and what was theirs. I have studied as much as I could get my hands on about human relationships, emotions, and the body, it has saved my sanity! Now, I can identify so much about human behavior and base my findings on truth and correct principles. It amazes, even me, sometimes when I can meet someone and be clear about why they are in pain and how to find healing...it's really amazing...and I'm grateful for all the relationship and life trials I've experienced because each one has, and still does, give me so much growth and learning! Bless you for what you are doing!
I have been crying for two days literally stuck in my house because i feel so overwhelmed and misunderstood it's too much to bare. But this really helped me, I'm going to take your advice and start journaling. I thought something was wrong with me. My friends and family think that I'm weird. Thank you so much.
I am same and I feel that . What we need is to get more people like us to get to know each other like a family and move together in this time of crisis .
And also, while this gift can be described as a blessing and a "curse".... Choose to understand that you /we are special...... At the end of the day, our lives are really amazing. Like a movie. We are truly blessed to have this experience in our lives, we are God's secret wrappings. My advice is to embrace the "suck". Wherein, lyes the beauty. Embrace embrace embrace my sister.
Both my boyfriend and I are Empaths .. He often asked me if I am ok. He calls me when I am just thinking about him. We both have dated people that have taken advantage of us.. 💖💖💖
i'm an empath and i just got out of a relationship with a narcissist. its been a year now. I don't rly believe that i'll find someone who won't take advantage of me anymore. im happy for you!
it's great that you found each other, you should keep him, it's rare to find someone who gets you, and they say an empath is rare, so it's great you found him, stay with him:)
This is me!!! I just found out at 63. You explain me so well. Man. You get me. I'm married to a narcissist and my kids take advantage of me. I almost lost everything.
For those who say its a curse or dont like to be empath: meditate. Try to stay away from news (they are usually about desasters and bad stuff) and start a new home hobby. I love crochet and take care of plants. Also work on your crown and heart chakra
Yoga helps with the heart chakra. I've recently been practising yin in a sling aerial yoga- where you hold poses for a few mins- helps me sleep so well, also hot yoga too. They both work to open the heart chakras and rebalance
Luh Nonato yooo!! I've stopped watching the news for almost four years now! I've always been puzzled on how people start their day with all that negative b.s... I love to draw and create amazing art, but i hate dealing with stupid people so i don't do commissions... Smh it's crazy
Meditating and chakra balancing daily works wonders. Walks outside, caring for plants or gardening, journaling or other forms of artistic expression. Singing is my fav.😌
This is so me. I’ve started to limit my circle of friends as I always feel the need to try to solve everyone’s troubles. Those troubles feel like they are happening to me. I’m very bad at separating my emotions from others emotions
Oh my goodness me too. I'm at least relieved that there are others who do this. I find it hard to hear about others problems because I get way too overwhelmed and involved. I feel like it's my job to solve their issues. I can't even watch certain movies because my emotions are way too overwhelming. And I can't be in crowds it's too chaotic for my brain.
Christine Tilton just tell yourself that those are not your feelings and you are not responsible for them. The only ones you are responsible for are your own feelings. I started to do this and I no longer feel overwhelmed or taking on others feelings. Easier said than done but it can be done.
omg...this explains why I avoid funerals at all costs if possible. Years ago, I went to the funeral of a father of a friend, I had only met him once. But at the funeral I found myself weeping uncontrollably to the point where the pastor came up to me and said "what is wrong with you you barely knew the man!" That scarred me for life. It took everything within me to manage my fathers' funeral. I have learned somehow how to manage it. I thought I was just a heartless person not wanting to go to funerals...now I understand. It's because I can FEEL THE PAIN OF ALL THE MOURNERS......pray I have the strength to go through my Mothers...whenever that happens...
Same, it can be so exhausting when you are dealing with toxic/fake people and you can see right through them but they continue to pretend they can fool you.
I am 21 and since I was a teen, I have always asked myself these questions: “Why do I care so much?! This is none of my business! I’m only hurting myself. What is wrong with me?” Until when I was about 19 that I learned I have this gift to discern people’s emotions and for some reason, I get to feel their emotions times 100... It’s a great gift but if you don’t know how to handle it or use it properly, it can be a burden.
And when you "won't stop till you understand" it becomes easy to cross emotional boundaries of others. Try to be mindful of their own limits of understanding themselves.
My family made me an empath. It's like a defense mechanism. I have to be "sensitive" when I'm around them in order to avoid being taken advantage of. After years of gaslighting and scape goating, I've developed some sort of intuition skills. 😩
Empath is just a more covert form of extreme codependency. I was an empath for a long time until i realized it was codependency and i started healing from it. I no longer "feel" other people in the depth i once did and it's so freeing!! I no longer look to solve everyone else's problems and work on my own instead!
I take on other's aches, pains and symptoms. Even family members that are thousands of miles away. Sometimes, they disappear when that person tells me what's wrong. I can't tell you how many times I went to the doctor and nothing was wrong!
Sammy Nakhla I'm very empathetic .Even as a child . I'm not sure if it was because of my Mother or not .She was always odd when I was little , but gradually became more and more nasty to me the older I got . Once I married and left home she did everything she could to turn my family against me . It never stopped until I went "no contact" in my early fifties . For me I feel I was born empathetic 🤗
It’s isolating because as much I want to make close honest friendships and as much as I am honest and open people aren’t. I think they want to be and I think they are drawn to me because I am, i feel their willingness even excitement but also discomfort when they give too much of themselves and maybe feel exposed by that.
Interesting perspective you said... how people feel discomfort when they give too much of themselves.. I’ve lost new “friends” for that reason and didn’t understand why, but it makes so much sense with what you said.... I felt hurt, but, I understand now...
It has taken me over 50 yrs to understand, accept, embrace and manage being an empath. As a young child, all I could do was cry when I was overwhelmed with trying to process so much info coming in. This is a personality profile that can be very difficult to manage. Thank you so much for posting this video! I wish I had seen it years ago!!!
I'm an empath and at first I thought I was going crazy. The energy from different people can be uplifting or discouraging. Being an empath means that we need to make sure that our needs are met as well. 😊
I have been this way since birth. If you don't learn how to manage your gift and balance your life; you're in for one HELLUVA ride. It's not a pretty one either. Severe ups and downs, twists & turns; like a roller coaster ride that makes you vomit every single day. It can leave your mind and body broken. Possibly even a trip to your local psyche ward. You MUST journal to save your OWN sanity. DON'T become an agoraphobic due to your gift. Take breaks away if you need it but don't lock your doors or close your curtains. That's unhealthy as Hell. I've been there. I've hidden in closets before. Do something that YOU enjoy to bring your dopamine and serotonin levels back up. Exercise, a high energy concert where the attention is focused on the band. (You can ride that wave for days!) Seek solace in nature. Whatever, (key word here), YOU enjoy and brings you peace. ALWAYS journal. You'll never lose your own identity by journaling. Always continue to follow your own path, dreams and goals. This shouldn't be a burden. It is a gift! Even if it doesn't feel like it at times. ✌🏽NAMASTE✌🏽
Marnie Jo Neece thank you so much for this comment. I’m just realizing what it is. I didn’t know what to call it. I’ve been this way since birth as well! How can learn to manage it? Any recommendations for literature?
As a empath it is very difficult being around people. I can feel their emotions times 1000. Sometimes i can handle it sometimes i cant. Binaural beats helps a-lot. I know that some of them are my assignments to help others but sometimes i am too drained to help them. I am researching techniques to help shield me when I’m not able to help. i only help when my energy is high.
I can walk into a room of people and hear and feel everything. I get anxiety. My anxiety increases when I can hear and feel their childhood wounds and experiences. Reading the thoughts and analyzing, my body absorbs it. I can tell who the narcissist and empaths are. I find kayaking on a lake brings me back to clarity.
I can tell by their eyes in conversation. Liars rarely look you in the eye...they deflect away from your eyes to hide their thoughts but it does't work
People have so often said to me , ' I feel I can talk to you about anything .' They have told me they can confide things in me . And they can !! Because I want to hear it. I feel it . I tend not to judge either . I feel like a very old soul who has heard and indeed experienced so much of this ...before . But it feels like a torrent . When someone lays all their stuff on you . You feel it. I passed out in a neighbour's hallway once when she told me about losing her young husband to a heart attack. I felt like I was there with her on that day. There are times a plenty when I wish I was not an empath . But I am . Got to live with it!!!. You have to own it...as they say . Know thy empath self . Self awareness. Load it as a super strength. A super power even . And you can use it to guard you against others who seek to use you or harm you in some way Of course you can use it to help and guide friends and family . But remember you may not be a be a mental health professional. So you cannot move mountains for people . Nor should you expect yourself to . Take it easy on yourself you empaths .
That happens to me too!!! I was on the train and this old lady sat next to me. Next thing I know, she was literally talking about her grandchildren and her background. I was sitting there listening everything she is saying
People always seem drawn to us empaths and want to open up. While there's only so much we can do, sometimes all people need is a listening ear from someone who can empathize with them.
I had no idea for sure that I was one until.. I was at a funeral for a friend. I was at the front of the church and when I went in and I felt like running away. I forced myself in and I was so overwhelmed that I started crying.. I was feeling every one’s energy and I couldn’t handle it! 🙏🏻✝️🛐
Consider the possibility that being an Empath, specifically being tuned in to people's emotions from subtle things like tone of voice and minor facial expressions, was something developed as a defense mechanism in childhood when dealing with people with volatile and unpredictable Vesuviun tempers, especially parents or grammar school teachers with BPD.
I went to Cathoilic School before 1970; while there were many nice nuns, most of the nuns over the age of 55 were utter sociopaths, and of course, before 1970, they beat you for whatever reason they felt justified it. To be a victim of their wrath, you didn't have to do anything, they just had to be having a bad day...
Michael J. Loudis yep. this is not psychic or magic or a sorcial "gift",its typically learned and one better work out the primal issues before "coaching" others. And i have noticed,therz little room in the lives of less sensitive people for this. I remember thinking i had some special.perceptual powers until a therapist said pretty much what you pointed out in your comment. Humans love catagorizing bcuz it adds some structure to this world...i guess. good comment,thx
@@lunalove6292 oww thats why I dont like get surrounded by people cuase I feel something nit just one but many,I thought I was shy but there really is different and I see this video now I knew it.....IS THIS REALLY A GIFT?
At the age of 5 I was able to sense which adults were the troublemakers and what they might do. This prob added to my lifetime of anxiety being around people
It just hit me that its no wonder I turned my emotions OFF from the time I was a child. Because I was taking in EVERYONE'S feelings, of course it was completely overwhelming and not surprising that I sought to escape them and completely numb out.
I've scared a couple people by hearing their thoughts, the 1st time I didn't know the person didn't actually say anything (my 1st ex husband) he said I didn't say it yet, he went as white as a sheet. My empath abilities cause me to become extremely exhausted all the time, I have to sleep a lot.
Same here lol.. two days ago, my friend wanted to tell me something, she was just on her first word, and then i continued what she wanted to say instead, and she was so spooked by it..
Same here. Didn't even realize it until one day I'm like Hey that wasn't my thought where did that come from? Then the other person would confirm what I heard. I also had this guy I was dating that I could be far away from even out of state and I would think of him and just say "call me" and I would look at the clock. And sure enough he would call, then he would say "I don't know why I had this strong urge to call you. I would say really? About what time (he was a truck driver) so he couldn't just stop and call but the time was usually only off by 2 or 3 minutes. This happened on several occasions. I could always feel when he was at my place of business even if I wasn't there. I would call my co-workers and say hey so and so just walked in right? And they would say "How did you know?! Not sure if that has anything to do with being an empath so maybe we were karmicly (new word) connected. Anyways its nice to know I'm not alone out here.🌝
This is me 100%. If I had a nickel for every time I was told I’m too sensitive I’d have a million bucks. I’ve finally learned that I am an empath and it’s a blessing, not a curse. Thanks for this interesting video. It’s a very profound confirmation of this phenomena.
In my late 40’s I have embraced my empathic abilities. I use it to help me get through this life as well be a guide to others. If you are an empath Sugilite is a stone or mineral that I and you can carry with to be able to block out everyone’s energy so it doesn’t become overwhelming.
I bought some sugilite earrings, I had been wearing them for 2 months and so much has changed for me. Rainbow flourite also helps to disperse the negative energy.
Been told my whole life “you’re too sensitive “. Always felt like something was wrong with me. Always having to defend my feelings and protect myself from people trying to tell me how wrong I am…..if the words weren’t said….how can I know something. Answer: I see how you act. I hear it by tone of voice. I feel it.
True empaths aren’t just very sensitive that’s highly sensitive people . A true empath reads your soul without knowing it’s actually rare and no we aren’t very sensitive that we are seem weak that’s sensitive people true empaths we just scan your vibe and many other things .
You are creating a lot of curiosity in me, my friend. How do you know you yourself is empathic and not something else? There are lots of other categories that have similar qualities but are not the exact same thing. Have you ever questioned if you have labeled yourself correctly?
Colton B well sir I been doing this since I was a kid am 24 now . I always had a sense of not being from here or in some way here to help I been doing that white light to prospect my energy since I was 5 without knowing what I was doing knew things about people that i could of never known it was more than just being sensitive to someone and the reason I stuck with empath is because of people I have met over time who also identify as empaths and one of topics it’s always that some who are Sensitive label themselves empath which is fine but am not sure that’s correct , a true empath is aware of something beyond the feeling of someone , because then that would make almost most empaths then and people can be sensitive but can they see their aura can they sense and get knowledge from just the wind ?? There’s so many things a empath can do and it’s not about just feeling someone or a person who’s always drain well from the people I have met so that’s why I classify myself as an empath and all the time alone has helped me learn my feeling so most true empaths don’t struggle with what they feeling because we are aware already from youth it’s not something that you can jUSt develop how to be an empath no sorry
Yes. Like I haven’t even talked to a therapist yet, I just talked to care coordinator doing the assessment questionnaire that is going to refer me to a therapist, and just their concern in their voice about me made me want to cry because I felt their concern and it was all just too much. 🥺😭
I work in a nursing home for the elderly and the amount of emotion is sometimes overwhelming, I'm just learning how to deal with all the negativity and sadness😣
Ruth Richardson you have to strong ( you have to practice it first it,s easy to said than done been there ) you have to be your own boss of your emotions. One step at a time you will succeed. I did and good luck. God bless you.!
My advise would be to practice getting in touch with your feelings of love and empathy. When you start feeling overwhelmed, focus on your heart and bring up feelings of unconditional love and empathy and imagine sending it out to them. Then change your thought onto something positive about your life.
The hardest part is longing for friends but craving isolation. Isolation always wins
This is so so true...
Soooo true
It does, yet, I want friends but relationships are difficult.
You are so right
❤️
I feel uneasy when I am around certain people.I also can sense when someone don't want me around.
Marilyn Mian me too!! With both.
Y'all could be tripping too..
I am not tripping and I can sense when someone isn't safe or trustworthy.
I can feel if I meet someone new, like me or not, first impression don't lie.
Same I hate it cause it makes me feel uncomfortable and then my body shows it then they think I'm scared so it's hard feeling other people's feelings especially the dark heavy energies
To all empaths spending their time alone indoors - don’t feel bad about doing that. It’s perfectly okay.
Thank you, that made me feel better
Celeste S. Love solitude
I am indoors alot at the moment...i don't know what it is, depression, exhaustion, or just not feeling outdoorsy.. I don't know
❤️
Thanks I such a hermit if I'm not at work
It’s even harder to date when you’re an empath because you can feel an energy shift instantly and it hurts when you’re in a relationship
Yes!!!! This torments me on a regular basis
How would you describe an enegry shift?
Yep, I literally want to date only empath like me🤣🤣🤣
Omg!! Yas!!
to the nano-second... its a bit much...
Anyone else get a pain in their chest when you see certain people going through something?
dat boi YES! I often feel the pain physically of those close to me
Do you also feel a pain in “your core” is the only way I can describe it, if you see someone fall or hurt themselves or even almost fall.
Yes,that's me! When someone is physically hurt,I get a pain in my chest too.
dat boi, - I put it down to maybe their heart chakra is blocked with maybe with some sort of heart break. I feel which other chakras are blocked in my body to try and work out why. Or it could be that they have a check infection/cold. Experience and other signs tells me the difference. To do this though, I have to meditate and balance my own chakras regularly and keep myself balanced and grounded.
Not necessarily in my chest but through my torso, in my core.
Going through the comments like...”Wow I finally found my tribe. I can relate”
🤣 your "tribe"

When I surrounded by toxic people I feel my energy was drain.

Yes. Physically drained
Me too
Same!! I feel so anxious and headache and just want to lay down
Are these the only comments? How common are empaths?
It’s so hard for us to actually be heard, we constantly are helping others and trying to fix their problems. I tend to hide and isolate when I’m overwhelmed. Also, our intuition is crazy accurate. Beware of narcissistic wolves out there because they feed off us.
You said that so perfectly.

@@yellowball huh
So true.
Right off the bat
Yes you can and it’s so draining
This is why I isolate myself from people and large crowds.
Towanda Life Isolating yourself from people seems like a lonely existence. We need to bond with others and share love with others. Our feelings should not govern us; they are tools that we must manage. Never allow your "feelings" to be in the driver's seat, they will usually steer you in the wrong direction. Incorporate more logic in your thinking. Being sensitive to others is a wonderful thing, but keep it wholesome and balanced. God bless you.
Me too ...
Towanda Life I feel U
Same I isolate myself from the world my husband and daughter are pretty much all who see me everything from working at home I don’t like being out around large crowds it makes my senses go crazy and then I’m emotionally drained
Wooo.... me too
As an empath I wish i could give as good a guidance to myself as i do for other people...

To anyone who needs this: I found that saying the phrase “Let all emotions not my own return to their rightful owner” aloud to myself helps me center myself when I feel emotionally overwhelmed.
Thank you! I'm going to try that!
Thank you, that's awesome and I just did and it works. Dealing with someone and THEIR emotions currently. I suddenly feel much lighter again.
That's crazy because I was thinking spirit attachment because it's been so over welming to explain the feelings I've been expressing when they're not anything to do with stuff around me so I've been saying that all things that aren't mine be evicted because they're trespassing
❤ thank you
I am always anxious about the world while others don’t seem to care. I cry about painful world calamities.
Hi Mitch, hope this message finds well and healthy. i read your words and understand all you said. if you don't mind, i will tell you what i do everyday. every time i hear or read upsetting news from around the world or close by, is, i say a pray, just quietly to myself asking for my unconditional love healing prays to go out to all that needs my prays now. i believe the power of pray can heal anyone or anything even move mountains... after my prayer, i always feel so good about myself which raisers my vibrations to myself and others around me... sorry for such a long message but i just want and try to help... god bless you always ....
I would cry everyday as a kid due to this. It is such a weird feeling and I'm glad I'm not some crazy emotional person and that I'm not alone.
Same here friend....
Me too. ☹️
I want a video about how to cope with this world. I feel us empaths have a deep responsibility to save this world... We are in an extremely bad place with climate change. Inequality. The suffering that capitalism has caused around the globe. The looming idea of fascism. Its too much....
I do not like being an empath at all. That’s too much power to have. I can’t be in crowds of people, I can feel people all the time. I’m often depressed because I unknowingly absorbed another’s depressed state. I can feel people through walls. I can literally meet a person for the first time and in a few minutes, I completely know the person. I can tell when a person is lying to me. Everyone always seems to come to me for advice. It was fun at first, but it’s extremely overwhelming. I literally shut myself inside the house.
Lincoln try the steps I suggest. It can get easier for you when you learn how to balance. Here's another video that may give you more insight ua-cam.com/video/DLKAtQwmKlk/v-deo.html&lc=z23lhfyqqkeoxdatiacdp43bbgviposfnuzluu2fqmdw03c010c.1547155804574698
Learn grounding to protect yourself
I can relate so deeply with this comment. Its sooo overwhelming
i deliberately dont read the news because it affects me so profoundly. Reading about people dying or undergoing hardships and strife always leaves me crying my eyes out. When I tell people I don't read the news for this reason, they look at me like as though I'm insane. That they want to know what's going on in the world. That they've become desensitized. People tell me their problems and I absorb their emotions and take them as my own and it gets so mentally exhausting that I sometimes can't differentiate between my emotions and people's emotions. My problem is that I have a nurturing, healing soul. I always want to help people no matter what. To ease their suffering in any way I can and when I can't.. it makes me despair.
I am the same. I try to have a lot of ME time. As many hours as possible. Just so I can recharge my energy and stop feeling emotionally overwhelmed. It's a dilemma: I have this innate drive to help people because it's my purpose in life and at the same time I try to avoid people only cuz I end up feeling emotionally worn out to the point where I end up crying and feeling profoundly sad. I often have trouble breathing cuz my chest feels heavy when I am sad.
For some reason I think if only empaths lived on earth it’d be such a peaceful and kind place ❤️
Indeed, empaths cannot abide by cruelty in any form.
Indeed it would!
It really would
Yes because our DNA is of the angels. We are the 'starseeds' from other dimension and we're all here to being changes in society as well as to raise frequency of the this planet. We live in other dimensions all our lives and that's why we love to be isolated.
Human you’re very true 😊
For me the hardest part about being and Empath is knowing what others really think of you and what's going to happen.
For me it makes trusting people very hard
I already know to sometimes .... if I mess up somehow they let other people know it even tho the narcs do the same thing 😂 but my sin has to be broadcasted ... it does bother me but it's getting where it doesn't bother me as much because i think i finally starting to understand
Im crying i litterally thought something was wrong with me.

I get frustrated with friends who can't "sense" or read people the way I do. I spend a lot of time alone because I feel and see too much.
My boyfriend is an empath......he has taught me so much!!
Same; you have to really step back and understand that most people, the vast majority, don't see things the way we do. For instance, when you hear a story of someone who trusted someone who clearly should NOT have been trusted, and it ends badly for them. For us its frustrating because we clearly can see, in an instant what kind of person this individual was and that they never should have been trusted under any circumstances. What we have is a SURVIVAL instinct, we sense the predators among the herd.
I feel the same 😭
Yes this! I wish I knew more empaths!
Same
I can't tell you how many times someone has asked me how do I know something about a person and my response is,.... I just have a feeling.
Thought iwuz the only one that felt like that..
Same I've felt things were not right at times, and come to find out I was right it's like a over whelming feeling of somethings wrong, and it's in the back of my mind, and in my chest.
Me too!!
Yes, I just know.
My friends call me Final Destination
Being an Empath can be very draining. We have to take a break from people because we intake so many emotions. I can feel when people are jealous and hateful. But I can also feel when people mean well.
agree
Most people can sense hatred and love. It’s not really that special.
@@michaelmcgee335how about feeling it so much it makes you ill?
I question the things I know all the time. I know when someone is annoyed at me and why, but then tell myself I’m imagining it. Even if they are being pleasant to my face. Makes me want to avoid others. Does anyone else get that?
Definitely...
kerry millar omg yes! I hate that feeling sometimes it makes me anxious when I confront them about it & they lie but I can feel they’re annoyed :(
It's spot on👍
Nailed it!

If I had a $1 for every time someone said to me "you're too sensitive" I'd be a gazillionaire. Discovering I'm a Empath changed my whole life. Once I learned how to boundary myself and sort the information, I'm a much better guide for people who are lost. I also learned to clear myself several times a day especially if I've been in a public place or working with someone.
Rae Marie how do you clear yourself?
Yeah until they NEED your sensitivity, wish I had a $1 for all those times too!
I truly enjoy my alone time. This is why I love nature and the beach, especially the water. I find it soothing, relaxing, and I can let go all the toxicity in my (from the outer world).
Totally!!.. You have to consciously draw firm boundaries; & do self-care/exercise, too!!..
Yess thanks for your comment
Yea feel so Connected to nature and water and forest
That's when i feel so free
Just wondering if we can be friends.
If I do say so myself... If I do say so myself... If I do say so myself 🤗😉
The worst part about being an empath is being near someone and not feeling anything. It’s truly sad that there are people living with no feelings at all.
I feel those persons hearts and emotions are frozen on ice😭😭
Worst feeling ever!
I hear you 😢
Omg! I know what you’re talking about 😢
I do pity those people because they might be people diagnosed with Anti-social personality disorder which is caused by traumas in their life that broke the frontal lobe of their brain which is responsible for empathy,so doing crimes and being cruel feels addiction to them like a pleasure even if they don't like the bad things they did and they know they'll regret in the end cuz when they get called out they always hurt themselves and said:"I want to feel!" So maybe there's part of childhoods trauma where they were taught that emotions are weakness...So doing crimes is like a drug to them and their struggles are like of a drug addict because they might crave it but will regret they did it
Some of us tend to avoid conflict with humans, much easier to manage emotions around animals, plants and trees... animals are honest.
And babies
Animals are more honest
Whenever I'm honest I get called rude. But tbh, you only like animals because they cant talk back to you. You'd rather not exert effort in socializing with people realizing people have both good and bad in them, even you.
I do that
I’m a groomer. Dogs can be calming but if they get anxious I feel it then I get anxiety. I’ll have to calm down center myself and reassure them they will be fine. Many times they do calm down so animals can pick up on our senses too.
For the first time in my life, I feel understood.
That's great. Thanks for watching.

I thought I was going crazy having all these emotions etc.
Since childhood people have said “don’t be so sensitive!” so I’ve grown up trying REAL HARD to not be sensitive, but I can’t help that. I cry from movies, tv, hell even commercials! I turn off the aspca commercials cuz I just can’t. I can feel, and explain, how others feel. I’m even sensitive towards words being over used. Every time you used the word ‘literally‘, I rolled my eyes.
Mines was so bad where people said I was simply too nice and i’m so sensitive that they would call me a cry baby. Even my own father says that i’m sensitive that I need to toughen up. I’ve had so many people that would tell me I need to toughen up and not only that I love to help people so when I can’t, I feel so so so bad.

Ima Me my parents said why ur so sensitive 😭😂
Yes, I've learned that I'm an empath with a fearful avoidant attachment style. I always thought something was wrong with me. Nothing is wrong with me, I was just raised by a narcissist who groomed me to be complicit in the abuse and manipulation. Now I am self-aware, more empowered, I know my worth and now have boundaries. I've grown and healed a lot, and I love myself a lot more now, so I'm very grateful for who and what I am.

This is wonderful, tynisha. You are still younger than I was when I finally figured this out. This is such a huge benefit.

It's sad kinda but we will all prevail empaths-
Don't forget to set healthy boundries to avoid getting hurt.

Very true, they all have a vibration, too.
This is resonance....what I call equivision.....horses 'see' this way innately and when around them we can 'see' that...they mirror what actually is. They are authentic and in the moment by nature and tuned in turned on for survival. When we become aware that what we feel is a reflection of our perspective we can choose to explore what flows (or doesn't) through the lense/filter/perspective connection or circuit if you will ...tune it....****PAUSE here...am I connecting dots that aren't there because...

Glad to know I’m not alone... truth seeker here and that scares people.
I feel every word
I get you on every level. Just discovered I'm an empath not a bpd. I feel all emotions including happiness. That I think is the distinction
What truths
The people that are "wary" of you are likely other empaths that are using their ability in a negative way. They may not even realize they are empaths but they do know they are using their abilities in a negative way. They sense you, your ability, and your "goodness" and are threated by it. 1. Sense of guilt because at some level they know they are doing bad things, 2. you'll see through their games and can expose them. Normally they'll just avoid you for those reasons. If you are forced to interact (say people at work) with them on a regular basis they will see you as a threat so be careful.
You’re not alone 💜💜
The feeling of having multiple personalities is so true!!
Clara McClung so true
This is actually what I thought was wrong with me, thought I had DID, (Discociated Identify Disorder), & have learned a lot about it, and thought my personality fractured into many, but now it's looking like I am an Empath, (like Counselor Troy)
This is the one !
My workplace can literally be crippling for me. Their negative vibes and attitude can be not directed at me but I feel it and it throws me off. I've felt these things for years and when I finally realized I was empathic and sensitive I started adjusting. I became more of an introvert due to this.
I hear this!
OMG, exactly what I'm going through right now. Still trying to figure out a way to get in there every day and not flip tables.
SAME SAME SAME

My workplace was as toxic as it gets. I was a prison guard for 20 years and let me tell you the negativity in that place was overwhelming. I retired a year ago and I'm still processing everything, it's been difficult.
I’m an empath but WITH BOUNDARIES. I learned that bc we get taken advantage of.
Me too
Never trust anyone is what I've learned
I'm always taken advantage of that's why I never wanna be around people. I prefer myself alone
I’m empath that can pick up on people’s vibe. I can see spirit sometimes and here things
But taking advantage of others...its human nature so it's understandable. If you want to survive in this world you have to stay firm
All my life, I've made friends with troubled people who i want to help. This is all making sense now.
I'm 42. I've encountered the exact same issue throughout my life. I completely relate to you. How ever, it scares the crap outta me! LOL
Me too, I thought it was a savior complex.
Same!
Yes....sometimes it is VERY toxic too.
Me too.
Being an empath at times a curse and a blessings..it’s draining ...this sensitivity is helpful but also painful at times..I am working in better self awareness to protect me..
True
Elizabeth, me too!!
I agree completely...I was told to walk away when things get toxic as a form of protection however, I can't walk away from everything. When I stand up for myself or enforce boundaries the toxicity gets worse. I am constantly bombarded with problems and it's way too much to take in.....
it's hard.. it's one reason why I stay away even from my blood relatives.. I know when people don't like me. I know when people talk about me . and feeling what they exactly feel is so draining.. I never go out unless it's necessary, for errands etc..
Elizabeth Freer it’s true, curse if we don’t know how to use it, a blessing if we know how to use it. I don’t know how to manage it yet. I hate it, I even know when my husband fancy a lady, in his thoughts of course. So Painful.
I have been a nurse for almost 50 years. I call patients emotional and energy vampires. I always felt drained after shifts. It took me a few years to realize that I am an empath. Now I pretty much stay in my home. I'm never bored. I'm writing a book at the age of 80. I also cannot tolerate negative people. I have a male friend that is a glass half full guy. One day he came over in a tizzy. I asked him if he could not complain. He said not today. I said, then please go home. I cannot tolerate the wave of negativity around you today.
This explains my social anxiety disorder. I used to be in a toxic situation at work. I was surrounded by negativity and bullying. It's so difficult to be around phony people. I cant be lied to because I see right thru the lies. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt because I feel guilty that I know they are lying and than I realize later that I was correct in the individual lying to me, and I get burned by this person and then I dont trust anyone. Its exhausting. I'm older now and I find I cant tolerate certain people, and situations that I could tolerate when I was younger. I'm even finding out that I will sometimes avoid hobbies that I thoroughly enjoy because it involves dealing with people. I know I cant live like that I just find it very challanging. I know that I need lots of sleep and I guess I need to start jounaling too. I hope journaling will help.
Journalling is a great place to start sorting out it all out.
Yes, I went through the same thing on my last job and ended up leaving. I was a victim of a few narcs. Now I am struggling with anxiety as well. I am researching for growth with this. At least I know what it is now. Wow
Lois Day ..Yes journaling helps..and it helps you to grow and understand yourself in the different seasons of your life as you go back later and read what you have written its like gift you give to yourself..sometimes you will amaze yourself...Enjoy your journaling experience it will give you a piece of mind as you write and 'release'🐣
Lois Day Thank you for sharing your experience with the world so we don’t feel alone. In my case, I’ve become so “cold” with people who approach me because I’m scared of their “energy” and many times I’m so withdrawn that I lose the change to meet nice people. In my workplace I couldn’t stand have my lunch in the staff room so I was on a daily basis in the park eating my sandwich holding an umbrella on the other hand (Londoney weather🤷🏽♂️). Doing so, I just made myself look as the mean one who doesn’t like people. The truth is I love people! I just need to built some boundaries so that their feelings and energy doesn’t affect me.
@@3KeyElements thank you! I've been resisting this for years. Have many journals with one line, one page attempts, only to be set aside. Thank you for this video, specifically for recommending journaling. I am sending your link to two new empath friends who are newly on this empaths journey as I am.
When I know that something is not right my stomach hurts like physically hurts
I feel you on this.
YESSS
My stomach doesn't hurts but my mind get filled with fog, I can't normally think
That is kind of like me except it's my chest that hurts. It's feels as if my heart is aching and I can't do anything about it
Simrah Q I get the same thing, I feel horrible because I can’t help but it’s quite overwhelming
I didn't know I was an empath for the majority of my life. The chaos, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, etc. are the telltale signs of being an empath and not knowing it. I have always tended toward a person who internalizes everything and turns inward and blame myself for whatever the issue is...shame, blame, self-abuse...I had a lot of healing to do, and am still doing... That being said, as an empath, the greatest gifts that God has given me are the gifts of discernment and the gift of being grounded. I've known I had the discerning gift for most of my life, but the other one has only come to light in the past year...and has helped me to have more confidence in what intuitively comes to me about and for others. These have been the most helpful to me until I had a conscious realization that I was an empath. You can pray for gifts.
I was in a 23-year relationship that had so much cognitive dissonance that it was extremely confusing to me for the first 10-15 years. I ended up doing so much internal, personal work to figure what was really true...what was me and what was the other person. I got so good at it, I was able to immediately discern what was mine and what was theirs. I have studied as much as I could get my hands on about human relationships, emotions, and the body, it has saved my sanity! Now, I can identify so much about human behavior and base my findings on truth and correct principles. It amazes, even me, sometimes when I can meet someone and be clear about why they are in pain and how to find healing...it's really amazing...and I'm grateful for all the relationship and life trials I've experienced because each one has, and still does, give me so much growth and learning!
Bless you for what you are doing!
Wow, you are indeed blessed. We have a lot in common, believe it or not. To me nothing is more interesting than humanity.
I have been crying for two days literally stuck in my house because i feel so overwhelmed and misunderstood it's too much to bare. But this really helped me, I'm going to take your advice and start journaling. I thought something was wrong with me. My friends and family think that I'm weird. Thank you so much.
We're glad that this is giving you some insight. We are posting new videos, so keep watching for more insight and help.
P Melody wishing you a lot of strength..... N sending you a tight hug
Thanks😊
I am same and I feel that . What we need is to get more people like us to get to know each other like a family and move together in this time of crisis .
And also, while this gift can be described as a blessing and a "curse".... Choose to understand that you /we are special...... At the end of the day, our lives are really amazing. Like a movie. We are truly blessed to have this experience in our lives, we are God's secret wrappings. My advice is to embrace the "suck". Wherein, lyes the beauty. Embrace embrace embrace my sister.
Both my boyfriend and I are Empaths .. He often asked me if I am ok.
He calls me when I am just thinking about him.
We both have dated people that have taken advantage of us..
💖💖💖
Joy Watson hope u guys always protect each other
i'm an empath and i just got out of a relationship with a narcissist. its been a year now. I don't rly believe that i'll find someone who won't take advantage of me anymore. im happy for you!
it's great that you found each other, you should keep him, it's rare to find someone who gets you, and they say an empath is rare, so it's great you found him, stay with him:)
Yes my husband has it as well it's crazy we are very linked. He will worn/ advice me and it is always right but I am stubborn lol and vice versa
Whooa, I hope I get to meet & date a fellow empathy like me
This is me!!! I just found out at 63. You explain me so well. Man. You get me. I'm married to a narcissist and my kids take advantage of me. I almost lost everything.
For those who say its a curse or dont like to be empath: meditate. Try to stay away from news (they are usually about desasters and bad stuff) and start a new home hobby. I love crochet and take care of plants. Also work on your crown and heart chakra
Yoga helps with the heart chakra.
I've recently been practising yin in a sling aerial yoga- where you hold poses for a few mins- helps me sleep so well, also hot yoga too. They both work to open the heart chakras and rebalance
Thank you
Arts and Crafts are soothing too.... I love painting my home every 2 or 3 years.. Home should be attractive and clean..
@@margaretsnewtoylynnparks5336 yes but it is so hard when you have the opposite of help
Luh Nonato yooo!! I've stopped watching the news for almost four years now! I've always been puzzled on how people start their day with all that negative b.s... I love to draw and create amazing art, but i hate dealing with stupid people so i don't do commissions... Smh it's crazy
Meditating and chakra balancing daily works wonders. Walks outside, caring for plants or gardening, journaling or other forms of artistic expression. Singing is my fav.😌
Dancing is mine.
@@anitataylor4287 Love it!
This is so me. I’ve started to limit my circle of friends as I always feel the need to try to solve everyone’s troubles. Those troubles feel like they are happening to me. I’m very bad at separating my emotions from others emotions
Exactly...small circle of good people better!
Oh my goodness me too. I'm at least relieved that there are others who do this. I find it hard to hear about others problems because I get way too overwhelmed and involved. I feel like it's my job to solve their issues. I can't even watch certain movies because my emotions are way too overwhelming. And I can't be in crowds it's too chaotic for my brain.
That attitude is toxic lmao
Christine Tilton just tell yourself that those are not your feelings and you are not responsible for them. The only ones you are responsible for are your own feelings. I started to do this and I no longer feel overwhelmed or taking on others feelings. Easier said than done but it can be done.
Kim Holcomb good advice for sure. I will do my best.
omg...this explains why I avoid funerals at all costs if possible. Years ago, I went to the funeral of a father of a friend, I had only met him once. But at the funeral I found myself weeping uncontrollably to the point where the pastor came up to me and said "what is wrong with you you barely knew the man!" That scarred me for life. It took everything within me to manage my fathers' funeral. I have learned somehow how to manage it. I thought I was just a heartless person not wanting to go to funerals...now I understand. It's because I can FEEL THE PAIN OF ALL THE MOURNERS......pray I have the strength to go through my Mothers...whenever that happens...
Same for me I avoid at all costs x
Yeah it’s sad
The pastor is a jackass.
Same here. I get to crying for strangers.
I can even read animals. I also pick up everything when talking to someone on the phone even if I've never met them in person.
Same. I seem to be more sensitive to animals than humans!
I find that I prefer the company of animals , much less draining 😊
pirateheart100 me toooo
True! On both matters. Plus seems like children can notice our energies as well.
pirateheart100 yes so do I. Have two dogs. Know them very well😁🤘
I can definitely read and feel others energy, and majority of the time I'm always right about it.
Sorry every black queen is an empath
Same, it can be so exhausting when you are dealing with toxic/fake people and you can see right through them but they continue to pretend they can fool you.
When you sense that everyone around you hates your self absorbent personality...your an empath!
This is interesting . I fit this to a T.......never have considered an empath.....
This is so accurate....but why?
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
That’s confidence! Empath are Confident and love themselves
Im Just finding myself ...little scary cos I can see narcissistic people immediately and they know I know !!! I feel it's a power
I am 21 and since I was a teen, I have always asked myself these questions: “Why do I care so much?! This is none of my business! I’m only hurting myself. What is wrong with me?” Until when I was about 19 that I learned I have this gift to discern people’s emotions and for some reason, I get to feel their emotions times 100... It’s a great gift but if you don’t know how to handle it or use it properly, it can be a burden.
Angela Lee im 21 and feeling this now.
I felt this 100%
Currently dealing with it now
Angela, try to feel only 50% next time. Also, learn how to do meditation! It will
Help you so much mentally and physically.
It is often that I will think of someone for no reason at all, then my phone rings a minute or 2 later and it's them.
That happens to me too and it really messes with my mind. I question if I'm awake and if I'm alive or dead because it freaks me out.
All the time!!
Yes that happens to me too.
So im not crazy? hahahha. this is why I always know when something is wrong. and I never will stop till i understand.
And when you "won't stop till you understand" it becomes easy to cross emotional boundaries of others. Try to be mindful of their own limits of understanding themselves.
Top ten most arrogant comments I have read in my life
That’s a great way to put it that you can’t stop till you understand. It feels for me like unfinished puzzle ocd lol
@@Kimandjohn arrogant how?
I'm an empath whom i end u feeding seniors and all their family members. I need an advice of how i can deal with the situation
My family made me an empath. It's like a defense mechanism. I have to be "sensitive" when I'm around them in order to avoid being taken advantage of. After years of gaslighting and scape goating, I've developed some sort of intuition skills. 😩
at the start of the year i thought everyone was a empath i never knew that they cant feel emotions and stuff like i did
Same bro .
"Literally feel like you have multiple personalities..."
Felt that all the time.😂
I thought the same thing and thought I was bipolar as well! Scary times
I feel this so much, I think I’m super bipolar
Big facts man
More like reading many books at the same time
And I'm a bipolar empath how do you think I feel hahaha
Empath is just a more covert form of extreme codependency. I was an empath for a long time until i realized it was codependency and i started healing from it. I no longer "feel" other people in the depth i once did and it's so freeing!! I no longer look to solve everyone else's problems and work on my own instead!
I have been a social worker as an empath for 20 years guiding others
We love it - That is an awesome use of your innate talent.
I have one;-;
Me too
Through my own experience, too much info can also make you physically ill as well.
Empath's have to be careful, of others draining their energy and vitality.
You got that right.
True. My neighbors dog got hit by a car the other day. I couldn't eat anything for a day or two 😔
I take on other's aches, pains and symptoms. Even family members that are thousands of miles away. Sometimes, they disappear when that person tells me what's wrong. I can't tell you how many times I went to the doctor and nothing was wrong!
Dealing with a narcissistic Mother and family I wish I knew this all those years ago !!!! 😘 !!!!
I always knew.
Sammy Nakhla I'm very empathetic .Even as a child . I'm not sure if it was because of my Mother or not .She was always odd when I was little , but gradually became more and more nasty to me the older I got . Once I married and left home she did everything she could to turn my family against me . It never stopped until I went "no contact" in my early fifties . For me I feel I was born empathetic 🤗
Oop same
This is me, I can feel 10 times the emotions of others, at a very high rate
Yep
Sometime it hurts so much what those around you are feeling the hurt and pain the sorrow.
It’s isolating because as much I want to make close honest friendships and as much as I am honest and open people aren’t. I think they want to be and I think they are drawn to me because I am, i feel their willingness even excitement but also discomfort when they give too much of themselves and maybe feel exposed by that.
Interesting perspective you said... how people feel discomfort when they give too much of themselves.. I’ve lost new “friends” for that reason and didn’t understand why, but it makes so much sense with what you said.... I felt hurt, but, I understand now...
People can not stand me because I say what I’m feeling with or without there permission
Good for you :) don't stop just keep being YOU!
Ashley McIntyre that,s me too. But with in a good reason.
For the longest time I couldnt understand why people would get defensive or argumentative with me.
Hhhhhhh me too
@@dangcoppock7362 that's me....within reasoning💞.
It has taken me over 50 yrs to understand, accept, embrace and manage being an empath. As a young child, all I could do was cry when I was overwhelmed with trying to process so much info coming in. This is a personality profile that can be very difficult to manage.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I wish I had seen it years ago!!!
I'm an empath and at first I thought I was going crazy. The energy from different people can be uplifting or discouraging.
Being an empath means that we need to make sure that our needs are met as well. 😊
I have been this way since birth. If you don't learn how to manage your gift and balance your life; you're in for one HELLUVA ride. It's not a pretty one either.
Severe ups and downs, twists & turns; like a roller coaster ride that makes you vomit every single day. It can leave your mind and body broken. Possibly even a trip to your local psyche ward.
You MUST journal to save your OWN sanity.
DON'T become an agoraphobic due to your gift. Take breaks away if you need it but don't lock your doors or close your curtains. That's unhealthy as Hell. I've been there. I've hidden in closets before.
Do something that YOU enjoy to bring your dopamine and serotonin levels back up. Exercise, a high energy concert where the attention is focused on the band. (You can ride that wave for days!) Seek solace in nature. Whatever, (key word here), YOU enjoy and brings you peace.
ALWAYS journal. You'll never lose your own identity by journaling. Always continue to follow your own path, dreams and goals.
This shouldn't be a burden. It is a gift! Even if it doesn't feel like it at times.
✌🏽NAMASTE✌🏽
Thank you.
Marnie Jo Neece thank you so much for this comment. I’m just realizing what it is. I didn’t know what to call it. I’ve been this way since birth as well! How can learn to manage it? Any recommendations for literature?
As a empath it is very difficult being around people. I can feel their emotions times 1000. Sometimes i can handle it sometimes i cant. Binaural beats helps a-lot. I know that some of them are my assignments to help others but sometimes i am too drained to help them. I am researching techniques to help shield me when I’m not able to help. i only help when my energy is high.
I can walk into a room of people and hear and feel everything. I get anxiety. My anxiety increases when I can hear and feel their childhood wounds and experiences. Reading the thoughts and analyzing, my body absorbs it. I can tell who the narcissist and empaths are. I find kayaking on a lake brings me back to clarity.
i feel like i can look into someones eyes and see everything in them, and when they touch me i can feel their innate personality
* Jedi Astral Poke * 😸
i can detect lies in people's voice
It's almost like they are trying so hard to convince you they are trying to convince themselves. If that makes sense
I can tell by their eyes in conversation. Liars rarely look you in the eye...they deflect away from your eyes to hide their thoughts but it does't work
Toni Art yes indeed
I can even detected via television
Me too its easy
Wow I'm learning so much about myself.
I wonder if this is why I struggle with my mental health
Same omg
Ditto
Same!!!!
An empath is someone who is an
‘emotional genius’
they feel everything 💯
I miss being in a position to help others, but in retirement I’m also very happy to be alone for most of the day.
People have so often said to me , ' I feel I can talk to you about anything .' They have told me they can confide things in me . And they can !! Because I want to hear it. I feel it . I tend not to judge either . I feel like a very old soul who has heard and indeed experienced so much of this ...before . But it feels like a torrent . When someone lays all their stuff on you . You feel it. I passed out in a neighbour's hallway once when she told me about losing her young husband to a heart attack. I felt like I was there with her on that day. There are times a plenty when I wish I was not an empath . But I am . Got to live with it!!!. You have to own it...as they say . Know thy empath self . Self awareness. Load it as a super strength. A super power even . And you can use it to guard you against others who seek to use you or harm you in some way
Of course you can use it to help and guide friends and family . But remember you may not be a be a mental health professional. So you cannot move mountains for people . Nor should you expect yourself to . Take it easy on yourself you empaths .
That happens to me too!!! I was on the train and this old lady sat next to me. Next thing I know, she was literally talking about her grandchildren and her background. I was sitting there listening everything she is saying
People always seem drawn to us empaths and want to open up. While there's only so much we can do, sometimes all people need is a listening ear from someone who can empathize with them.
This is exactly how I feel. Very misunderstood all the time.
I had no idea for sure that I was one until.. I was at a funeral for a friend. I was at the front of the church and when I went in and I felt like running away. I forced myself in and I was so overwhelmed that I started crying.. I was feeling every one’s energy and I couldn’t handle it! 🙏🏻✝️🛐
Consider the possibility that being an Empath, specifically being tuned in to people's emotions from subtle things like tone of voice and minor facial expressions, was something developed as a defense mechanism in childhood when dealing with people with volatile and unpredictable Vesuviun tempers, especially parents or grammar school teachers with BPD.
Michael J. Loudis agreed that developed more out of necessity and need in order to protect ourselves.
I do not think its just a natural born gift from the creator!
This was me!
I went to Cathoilic School before 1970; while there were many nice nuns, most of the nuns over the age of 55 were utter sociopaths, and of course, before 1970, they beat you for whatever reason they felt justified it. To be a victim of their wrath, you didn't have to do anything, they just had to be having a bad day...
Michael J. Loudis yep. this is not psychic or magic or a sorcial "gift",its typically learned and one better work out the primal issues before "coaching" others. And i have noticed,therz little room in the lives of less sensitive people for this.
I remember thinking i had some special.perceptual powers until a therapist said pretty much what you pointed out in your comment.
Humans love catagorizing bcuz it adds some structure to this world...i guess. good comment,thx
It's not only that you feel something is wrong with you, some people will also let you know and/or abandon you.
Inge, that's the truth
Yes, those people are usually narcissists.
They will abandon you quick, fast, and in a hurry!
@@patriciaking7892 Only after they have spent a time draining you of your resources and your sanity.....that might not be so immediate.
@@YesuAiNimen right you are!
I now I'm a empath big time but I'm always depressed and I feel like I don't belong here
What helps me is taking time for yourself around nature and away from people...
@@lunalove6292 oww thats why I dont like get surrounded by people cuase I feel something nit just one but many,I thought I was shy but there really is different and I see this video now I knew it.....IS THIS REALLY A GIFT?
My whole life I've felt I dont belong anywhere...a "werido"...people called me that.
@@samwinchester61 same they also call me
"Silent but Dangerous...."
They just shock that I almost know anything
And I just said 'im just Expert'
At the age of 5 I was able to sense which adults were the troublemakers and what they might do. This prob added to my lifetime of anxiety being around people
It just hit me that its no wonder I turned my emotions OFF from the time I was a child. Because I was taking in EVERYONE'S feelings, of course it was completely overwhelming and not surprising that I sought to escape them and completely numb out.
I've scared a couple people by hearing their thoughts, the 1st time I didn't know the person didn't actually say anything (my 1st ex husband) he said I didn't say it yet, he went as white as a sheet.
My empath abilities cause me to become extremely exhausted all the time, I have to sleep a lot.
@@oneonly8561 ..... Pisces
@@oneonly8561 ..... Thank you
Same here lol.. two days ago, my friend wanted to tell me something, she was just on her first word, and then i continued what she wanted to say instead, and she was so spooked by it..
Same here. Didn't even realize it until one day I'm like Hey that wasn't my thought where did that come from? Then the other person would confirm what I heard. I also had this guy I was dating that I could be far away from even out of state and I would think of him and just say "call me" and I would look at the clock. And sure enough he would call, then he would say "I don't know why I had this strong urge to call you. I would say really? About what time (he was a truck driver) so he couldn't just stop and call but the time was usually only off by 2 or 3 minutes. This happened on several occasions. I could always feel when he was at my place of business even if I wasn't there. I would call my co-workers and say hey so and so just walked in right? And they would say "How did you know?! Not sure if that has anything to do with being an empath so maybe we were karmicly (new word) connected. Anyways its nice to know I'm not alone out here.🌝
I
All this time I'm staying away from people I thought something was wrong with me. It all makes sense now
This is me 100%. If I had a nickel for every time I was told I’m too sensitive I’d have a million bucks. I’ve finally learned that I am an empath and it’s a blessing, not a curse. Thanks for this interesting video. It’s a very profound confirmation of this phenomena.
IwS told I was overly sensitive when I was a kid and young adult. Series I feel now that I have gotten what appears to be cold in others eyes.
❤
Feels more painful when our close ones can't connect with us in a way we empath connects emotionally with them
In my late 40’s I have embraced my empathic abilities. I use it to help me get through this life as well be a guide to others. If you are an empath Sugilite is a stone or mineral that I and you can carry with to be able to block out everyone’s energy so it doesn’t become overwhelming.
I bought some sugilite earrings, I had been wearing them for 2 months and so much has changed for me. Rainbow flourite also helps to disperse the negative energy.
Thanks for this yall! I will look that up
I found wearing gold helps.
Thanks bro, I picked some up and as soon as I touched the segilite I felt it’s powers instantly. Namaste.
Been told my whole life “you’re too sensitive “. Always felt like something was wrong with me. Always having to defend my feelings and protect myself from people trying to tell me how wrong I am…..if the words weren’t said….how can I know something. Answer: I see how you act. I hear it by tone of voice. I feel it.
True empaths aren’t just very sensitive that’s highly sensitive people . A true empath reads your soul without knowing it’s actually rare and no we aren’t very sensitive that we are seem weak that’s sensitive people true empaths we just scan your vibe and many other things .
That's good input!
3 Key Elements thanks it’s just I see a lot of people thinking they are empaths only because they are sensitive and that’s just isn’t true
You are creating a lot of curiosity in me, my friend. How do you know you yourself is empathic and not something else? There are lots of other categories that have similar qualities but are not the exact same thing. Have you ever questioned if you have labeled yourself correctly?
Colton B well sir I been doing this since I was a kid am 24 now . I always had a sense of not being from here or in some way here to help I been doing that white light to prospect my energy since I was 5 without knowing what I was doing knew things about people that i could of never known it was more than just being sensitive to someone and the reason I stuck with empath is because of people I have met over time who also identify as empaths and one of topics it’s always that some who are Sensitive label themselves empath which is fine but am not sure that’s correct , a true empath is aware of something beyond the feeling of someone , because then that would make almost most empaths then and people can be sensitive but can they see their aura can they sense and get knowledge from just the wind ?? There’s so many things a empath can do and it’s not about just feeling someone or a person who’s always drain well from the people I have met so that’s why I classify myself as an empath and all the time alone has helped me learn my feeling so most true empaths don’t struggle with what they feeling because we are aware already from youth it’s not something that you can jUSt develop how to be an empath no sorry
Colton B hehe and am glad your curious
I thought something was wrong with me for YEARS. I feel things so intensely that I'm an introvert because of it.
Does anybody else just breakdown when someone try’s to help about how you feel?
Yes. Like I haven’t even talked to a therapist yet, I just talked to care coordinator doing the assessment questionnaire that is going to refer me to a therapist, and just their concern in their voice about me made me want to cry because I felt their concern and it was all just too much. 🥺😭
Literally 3 minutes in and I am in tears. I always felt crazy
Same
i knew i was an empath at a young age but this just confirms it even more
I work in a nursing home for the elderly and the amount of emotion is sometimes overwhelming, I'm just learning how to deal with all the negativity and sadness😣
ruth richardson same here
Ruth Richardson you have to strong ( you have to practice it first it,s easy to said than done been there ) you have to be your own boss of your emotions. One step at a time you will succeed. I did and good luck. God bless you.!
Going into those facilities is too disturbing for me. I tried to focus on non human details, like the bubbling fish tank, and not make eye contact.
Maybe use your power/try to create a more positive enviornment in your workplace ?
My advise would be to practice getting in touch with your feelings of love and empathy.
When you start feeling overwhelmed, focus on your heart and bring up feelings of unconditional love and empathy and imagine sending it out to them. Then change your thought onto something positive about your life.
