Hi. I don’t know if this relates to me but I find it interesting. Someone called me an Empath and I thought, Oh no! I don’t want that 😂. I have convinced myself that I lean towards selfishness and yet I’ve often been supportive in different ways and yet feel guilty and sometimes ashamed when I do things for myself. Sometimes it’s been financial support and recently someone said I’m good for “holding space” for those I care about. This was a compliment for sure but I can’t tell if I’ve overdone this and overlooked what I want. For an Empath finding the balance between care for ourselves and for ‘the Other’. I know my ‘status’ as a ‘guilt sponge’. If someone is unhappy it’s either my fault, or it’s my job to make things good for them. A Selfish Empath!? 😅 Huh. What do you know, there is something here for me. Thank you 🙏 Insecure and yet I have a Defined Will Centre
I remember when I heard about Empaths the first time, I was convinced it was some BS.. haha. But now I definitely know it's a thing. And I agree, it's not the easiest thing to "be". The funny thing is kind of what you described, that many empaths are full of contradictions, that's why many might doubt. Anyhow I'm glad it resonated. And like you, I've defined will centre and used to be super insecure. It is my sense that willpower takes us sometimes too far into various directions. Just because we can. When we exhaust the energy, but still used to using willpower, we don't know where to get energy from to do even basic things. We need to have the flexibility and trust to work with the universe. It helps conserve energy. Connecting with my body and becoming more defined helped be claim my "bigness". Even if I'm still just 160 cm ;) Thanks, Alan for dropping by with a nice reflection.🙏
