- Are you an empath or a highly sensitive person? Are you wondering if someone might be an empath? Perhaps, your sibling, a partner, or a close friend? Someone who is an empath has the ability to understand and share the emotions of another person. It can be understood as “feeling with” someone. It involves stepping into their shoes to imagine what they are going through and being caring and compassionate in order to make them feel better. This caring, this desire to help, is what separates empathy from sympathy. Although they both deal with relating to another person, empathy is felt more deeply and reaches a broader range of emotions. Empaths are compelled to help because they grasp the experiences of others so vividly. Sympathy usually only extends to sorrow or pity. Do you feel being an empath is a gift or a curse? Share this video with someone who might relate.
To all empaths spending their time alone indoors - don’t feel bad about doing that. It’s perfectly okay.

Psych2Go hai I love you :3 you've helped me sooooo much! Thank you Phych2Go!
I would honestly say A benefit, Since you’re more likely to see what others are feeling in a situation, and help them out with it. Like one of my friends got stalked a few weeks ago, And I helped her by telling the police about it, And so now she’s thankfully okay. I imagined what it would feel like to be stalked, so then That’s why I decided to help her. Anyways, I absolutely love your videos! They always help me out no matter what. Thank you for all of your videos and information in them! ❤️
For me, it’s a curse. I can’t turn it off...
I turn out to be empathetic...i think its a curse because I come to feel how the other person feels and turn out to break down although its not my situation
It varies depending on the person. It can be a gift when it allows you to better understand someone, thus strengthening your connection with them. It can be considered a curse when another person's emotions overwhelm you. Sometimes, it gets to the point you forget your own emotions. For example, my father lost a relative that was close to him, and although he rarely shows his emotions, I could tell he was upset. I'm close to my dad, and my empathy is very strong for people I'm close to. I ended up feeling some of his grief for him, and I was a trainwreck for a few days.
Being an empath is a curse when your kindness is constantly taken for granted or advantage of
exsacally
Niyah h I recently got betrayed by an ex friend as she kept talking crap about me it’s like I’m an easy target for others because I’m so nice to people and my kindness is always a weakness
@@ADEYENO being an empath and naive are different luv.
@Benazir Samoon I am an empath and I was taken for granted before. Now still an empath but learned my lesson.
People are just evil who takes advantage of empaths, plain and simple
Being an empath is not really easy. When someone open up about their struggles to you, you'll get easily overwhelmed and needed so many days/time to reduce that heavy feeling.
this is so me you have no idea
Indeed. What's your coping strategy at the moment that works?
I feel same😔
I feel the same too!,
I have a few friends who open up their struggles , I feel a little overwhelmed even though the same thing is happening to me ... it's a very heavy feeling
Ricdelh Jason Ignacio I mean it is probably hard to do something that doesn’t follow any form of logic or reasoning
The worst thing is when you aren't able to help someone, even if there's nothing I can do about it I still feel guilty somehow
It's very relatable. What are some positive mindsets you can adopt here to help you?
Absolutely
Bill Cipher Me too. When I was a kid, I felt sorry for inanimate objects that no one wanted, like the bruised apple at the grocery store. A bit extreme, I know, but this extended to people and animals. I was friends with the misfits and always rescued the runt of the litter. (I still do, lol.)
It's the worst feeling isn't it.
@@jend8759 I can relate. Being so sensitive as a kid was hard, I felt bad for the one thing left in the store as well and when someone was embarrassed, I'd feel it too.
I had accepted that I'm an empath, but since acknowledging it like that and "embracing" it is likely that I just want attention, I'm not sure anymore.
I find I often feel drained because I feel everyone else's emotions and can't tell which ones are mine. Though I also often find my mood significantly increases if I watch a bunch of really happy stuff, it's as if the videos radiate happiness. But I find it quite hard being bombarded with emotion.
QuantumMelody29 it’s probably just placebo caused by your ego I’d ignore it
Same about the first part for me. I hate venting to all my other friends because I fear that there isn't any good reason to but I have all my friends vent to me. I try my best to empathize with them but I get too easily overwhelmed from emotion that I get tired from it all, mentally, physically, emotionally.. I can't even tell what I'm actually feeling without accidentally putting myself in someone's shoes, either making the situation worse or better
@@TheOverlordPepper Yeah, I find I occasionally snap at whoever is trying to vent to me if I've had a hard day, which doesn't help anyone.
I rarely watch any shows/films that exhibit a lot of negative emotion because they affect me to so intensely.
QuantumMelody29! I feel the same!! I’m always super confused about how I feel when I’m my mind how i feel isn’t at the forefront of the situations around me. It’s difficult to determine if some emotions are mine or not. Sometimes it feels like I flip back and forth between emotions and it gets kinda tiring.
I’m an empath I even defend people who don’t even know me
You mean you stand up for justice because of you who are?
Bitch, please...
jesuisfou 😂😂😂
Psych2Go, he means he sympathizes them and finds it very exciting to condone their deeds.
Me tooo!!!
i think that people who put ‘empath’ in their bio are the least likely to be empaths
HAHA IKR
That tends to be with moth things to be honest.
You can't expect someone to go out of their way to mention something from their soul, especially compared to someone using it as just a marker.
Exactly. If u have to broadcast you’re intelligent for instance, you’re not. Also if u brag to ppl you’re a stable genius lmfao
generally also the kind of people who tend to confuse empath with just general empathy.
Silver Totodile oh well I kinda did that
I mentioned something from my soul to someone who was upset
But I don’t put empath in my bio lol who does that
Another sign you’re probably an empath is that you actually understand animals feelings/intentions
Empaths are truly a gift to the world. Having such understanding and caring people is amazing. We dont deserve such great people.
Too bad empaths usually get treated horribly
NABz Lasted yeah...
@@nab345t yeah, its true. But why?
Good question, maybe other peoples deep rooted fear? Since empaths usually show signs of weakness and since nobody understands life, people create superficial barriers to feel safe and empaths threaten that psychological barrier... i have no idea... it could be a whole multitude of reasons
NABz Lasted yes we empaths are always treated horribly by narcissists then they lie to people that we empaths are crazy just to 'gaslight' us empaths.
I love the narrator's voice, it's quite soothing :)
Glad you like her voice. Do you want to hear her music videos?
@@Psych2go she has music videos? I think I'd like to listen to her voice more
Psych2Go What she sings too?
@@Psych2go we do!
@@Psych2go Ooh, I really want to hear her music videos. I'm curious.
Sometimes being empathic is really annoying , its hard to be mad at people because I can feel what they would be feeling . You see someone sad and your day is ruined . You care too much . You feel both side of a story and it's hard to pick sides.
Khushboo Pannu yes! Ugh
Oh yes. It's so draining.

Yes
Could just be because I've become a dark empath now but couldn't you just envision a barrier around your body in your head to block negative emotions from reaching you?
I realized i sometimes feel things for people more than they do. Especially when I'm already emotionally drained
Great video! Love ya'lls animations
Making sure you don't feel drained all the time by having boundaries or putting yourself first, doing what is in your best interest will help greatly to not feel drained. I have a channel which I help individuals empower themselves through knowledge, come check out, namaste.😇👍🙏

When I cry I find myself crying for other people and what they're probably going through and its exhausting and painful AF and that's why I don't watch the news :^)

That was probably the worst part about my childhood because people including some of my family saw it as weakness
Especially when it just comes out of nowhere
This is me to a tee. I recently discovered that my biggest weakness in life is that always I try to help others with things while never being able to figure out how to help myself with anything & everything...

Empathy is not always a good thing. Of course you can help people by feeling the same emotions they feel, but for a long time this is frustrating and you may be exhausted for other people's problem and not for yours
Meeeeee
ME!!!
When i even look at someone its like i can see through there own eyes and feel what there feeling
Same.. I'm sure many of us watching this video could relate. Like if you agree.
SAME
i litterally deal with that every. single. day, it sucks some times right?
Sure lol
I don't like to look into peoples eyes because they have so much emotion behind them. It feels too intimate. Funnily enough (or ironically enough) I'm one of the types who can stand to look into the eyes of my crush. Don't know why though.
I’m an empath and I also help my friends through hard times by using my gift, but I feel like I need to figure myself out before I can help others figure themselves out.
You are 100% right to help others you need to be 100% sound to be able to give others the help that they need. You make an observation and a dynamic assessment, you then need to be in the right frame of mind to be able to do what you need to do.
Centrifugal Phorse yeah true thank you so much for the advice!
Same but, I don’t have friends. I had to switch high schools because my “friends” took advantage of my empathy and used it to bully me. It sucks...
@@sullyxpp you are welcome.
I've got some solid advice for my empaths out there! This is more of a visual way to put it, but I'll do my best to explain. My therapist gave me this perspective, and it's helped me identify my own emotions and other people's as well.
Imagine other people's emotions as rain coming down onto you. You can let it come down onto your skin and soak you through, but you don't want to do that. So you need a raincoat to block out those emotions. Now, you'll still be able to feel the rain against your raincoat, however it won't be soaking you. This image has actually helped me out a lot in trying to pick apart things. Sometimes you have to sit back and address yourself, "Hey, am I upset because of my own emotions, or is it because someone else is going through something?" And to process this! Alone time is also very, very important for empaths, and was an excellent point in the video!
Remember to have empathy for yourselves too, you're deserving of that love.
Wow thats nice information it's just too bad I was too late to understand this
I friggin' feel for the lonely little porcelain dolls at Goodwill...
Omg I feel bad for neglected dolls too!
Oh yeah I bought a clown doll for a creepy doll collection from goodwill lol
I begged my mom
I feel sorry for rolly pollies/pillbugs and snails
OMG ME I TOO I FEEL BAD FOR THE LITTLE PENNYS THAT I FIND ON THE GROUND.
I'm pretty sure this isn't empathy since they have no feelings to share. Idk what it is but it's not empathy lol
I'm an empath but I'm logic before I act on my "feelings".
Do you find yourself following your logic more than your emotions/feelings?
Same
What picture do you hold in mind?
FANTASTIC.
I wish way more people were like you.
Then ur not a empath
I related to the being sensitive and needing time to recharge.
Same. Especially the being sensitive one, since I'm an HSP.
Are you also an introvert by any chance?
@@Psych2go I'm either an introvert or an extroverted introvert.
@@Psych2go Sort of, since there are times where I wanna be invisible. But, more of social anxiety.
I get clingy with friends who don’t care about me but I always end up feeling bad for those who genuinely want to try care for me that I don’t show the care back at or show a lot of irritation to a lot which makes me feel more toxic.
Mr. Magistral Malik i relate for the first one but the second no because nobody cares about me
Why?
your voice is so calming omg

I've learned to deal with my empathy by completely closing myself off. I was too young when everything started to make me *feel*. It was terribly uncomfortable and when I lost my emotional outlet, it became unbearable. So I became apathetic. I can still understand the emotions of people around me, better than even themselves, but I simply can't care anymore. In the end, I come off as someone callous, which I am, so I figured it was better to just pretend I am too dense to understand, instead of uncaring. At least I was old enough to understand the social cues to know when I should just smile, or be angry, etc. But even so, overwhelmingly strong emotions always end up affecting me, and I hate it because it makes me feel like I am losing control, so I end up even more frustrated. Still, I miss the times when I could be happy or sad, feel anxious and impatient, now they feel so alien to me.
Lorran Davi Azarany I bet most [“non empaths”] would read your message and say you’re just an egotist or something unhinged. But the reality is you can state things like “and know their emotions better than them” as a literal mater of fact. Or the way you modify yourself to such a degree... I can already hear the psychopath comments...but that’s just how we are. Certain things are a bit too easily manipulated for us. I have to ask - how are you able to change so completely. To the point you’re not trying...it’s a grounded, embedded status. Such as not feeling the anxiety ?? I had an ex that could put herself into a completely unemotional shell. But that was more depression/dissociative dark shit. I want to find a technique to modify even anxiety! Thanks 🙏🏼
i understand this. this is normally a sign of a soulfully drained empath, maybe it’s just you’ve been surrounded by too miserable people for too long, perhaps your location is to sub-urban, some important tips for empaths truly is self-isolation. it may seem like self harm to others, but it’s a necessity to HSP. I’d also suggest meditating about three times. a week for 15 minutes at a time. you don’t have to be in total silence to meditate, you can meditate with music if it helps you. try re-connecting with nature, i’d also suggest taking warm showers in times of emotional distress. it may seem weird, but they offer warmth and comfort that often times, most people can’t offer a HSP.
You need discipline, and I do not intend to offend. I spent my entire life trying to help and getting screwed over, I lived with people who hated me just because I was me, I was bullied relentlessly and almost killed on several occasions, I fell towards addiction, towards shutting myself off to the world. But in all the chaos I found that sometimes there are things more important than yourself, sometimes your strength is defined by your endurance, and the more you endure the stronger you can become. I learned to train myself, to master my emotions and let go of my ego, so that I could devote my life to helping without ever expecting anything in return, or being spiteful in the face of abuse, people are hurtful, abusive, and destructive, but letting them change you when you've been given a beautiful gift for being able to see things for how they should be seen, that's a true crime my friend.
Remember your worth friend, you are appreciated, if you keep fighting, it will be worth it, and I hope you do.
I can relate. At the moment, I’m going through exactly what u described and it’s so exhausting.
This explains why I'm so bad at consoling people. I get caught up in their emotions and get brought down to their current state. I also will go into stages of sadness after feeling alone and feel better after spending productive time alone. This fits me so well.
This quarentine has made this become very clear to me. I notice every single time what anyone is feeling and automatically feel the same way and it really is emotionally draining. My brain 24/7 is worrying about everyone else and constantly trying to help them
I got depression because of the weight of trying to help a friend with the same problem. I'm introverted and WAY too sensitive, and all the other things related as well. this makes it make sense so thank you for this video :)
I think the universe hates me. I'm definitely an empath, but I suffer from Asperger's. Talk about a contradiction. To make matters worse I'm 6.8ft & tend to scare everyone with my presents alone.
All I ever wanted was a friend.
I'd be glad to be an internet friend if you'd like.
@ Red I'll be your friend
Red @hollywood.jinx on insta, let’s be friends :)
Hey I have aspergers too! I’m always here if you wanna chat :)
I will be your friend and I will be here for you no worries 💜
I can sense emotions without even looking at someone
If you're angry about something and you enter the room, I'll know
Literally ever since I got out of depression therapy, I started to feel other people's vibes. It helped me in dodging hostile people (psychopaths especially, they are giving me cold, sinking feeling in my chest), but when I get surrounded by depressed people, I start crying a lot. Also crying when I see animals being hurt or abandoned.
Finally, something I can talk about :D.
First of all I have to say that I can feel empathy, and it really made me who I am today.
Sometimes it is great, because when people (especially my friends and family) feel good and happy, I feel a lot better, and I think it kind of helps me strengthen my friendships because I try to make them feel happy.
However, when they are sad, not only do I understand them, but I also *feel* sad too. This really hurts and made me struggle with a lot of things (I'm getting professional help though).
So, basically it is a double edged sword. Don't forget to love yourself too, you are great.
Finally! some one like me! thank you for just being you and everything will get better! i wish i was getting professional help...do you recommend any thing for me to try? iv'e been looking for a while
@@smokesignals3953 I'm afraid I learned my lesson in the hars way, but I have a really important piece of advice.
You should try to care about you the closest you can to how you treat other people.
It might be really difficult (it was for me), but don't get discouraged:
Have you heard the phrase "Fake it 'til you make it"? Well if you force yourself to do it, in a matter of time you will start doing it unconsciously and you won't be immersed in situations that are bad for you.
Also, I think that you should take into account this anecdote:
When I was struggling more with empathy I used to *feel* really bad when my best friend talked to me about her problems; which led to her not going for me when she needed to talk to someone.
I thought I had hurt her, and this resulted in conversations that felt horrible.
She couldn't talk to me to get better, I couldn't help, I *felt* bad.
Eventually I realized what was going on and I *tried to ONLY understand people, and feel less* so that I can help without feeling bad myself.
I hope this helped, and I reccomend you to talk about this with someone you trust or with your family and ask them for help to go to therapy, it is the best for these situations. I am aware that in some countries a psychologist isn't free, but I hope that you can get better.
If you need something and you don't have anyone to talk about, talk via Instagram (I'll leave it in the next comment in case it gets deleted) and I'll try to help.
Have a good day
@@smokesignals3953 In case that you need someone to talk and don't have any other people message me via @brunosmusic on Instagram and tell me you are the one who replied to my comment in a Psych2Go video.

I only found out I was an empath after going out with a Narcissist for 6months, felt like my batteries were completely flat for months afterward. She was an amazing person deep down but had gone through an awful upbringing which led her to build this narcissist personality. Just know if you're an empath and are going out with a Narcissist you have to put in boundaries or it will really get you
I wasn't sure before, but now I feel comfortable labelling myself as an empathy. Thank you
What about those of us who have had to build walls from a young age in order to not fall into the emotions of others? Sometimes the walls appear so strong that others think we don't have empathy?

I definitely felt the last part.. we crave others that need the attention we give!! Doesn't matter how drained we are we still try to give more and more never thinking of ourselves! Most of the time not even aware that subconsciously we seek these ppl out!! I'm still learning how to take care of myself mentally and the best way to recharge!! Its been a struggle to say the least
i'm the exact opposite to an empath, and honestly, I wish I had more empathy
knowing too much about how others feel would definitely be stressful, but it's equally stressful having an eq of -2 and constantly trying to analyze how others feel just in case you accidentally do something that upsets them
As an empath I find this very interesting

I feel everything around me energy wise and I can look at you and know your energy wow and I’m 29 and never knew it was a blessing but also a curse. I always put people feelings before mind and I am always healing others but I never get that because I self heal myself daily. I go through so many battles alone and no one knows. Now I cry randomly and they say it’s the opening of the heart centre... thank you spirit! I now know what I am here to do ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have this deep need to help others, and helping people is what makes me feel most fulfilled.
I make myself cry when I imagine conflict or bad situations.
I can understand how someone feels by the slightest change in their tone or the way they look at something.
Empathy: the feeling of knowing how someone feels, or have established that you feel what they feel.
Sympathy: the feeling of feeling sorry for what happened to someone else, even if you’ve never experienced anything like it.
Shane Dawson after viewing this: 👁️👄👁️
It's both a blessing and a curse, especially when you can feel empathy over someone elses physical pain as well as emotional pain
Being empathetic 24/7 has caused me several panic attacks.
One time was when my friend called me, in tears, because everyone she knew already had plans for New Year's and she was going to be alone, and that this was how it always was for her. I felt so guilty for being one of the people causing her this much pain, all the while FEELING her pain, I started to hyperventilate and cried for 2 hours straight. I ended up inviting her to celebrate with my fiancé and me - who, ironically, were staying home that one time because we were emotionally exhausted from all the shit that had happened that year.

Yeah, I’m an empath, thought I don’t usually use that particular term. I see it as a blessing that allows me to connect to others.
For me, it’s definitely a gift. I have kept many friends from it and it means that I have a lot more jobs open to me, as I can actually feel what they are feeling and they really appreciate it. I want to be a midwife or a paramedic, and being an empath is definitely helpful for these.
Me: has like none of the traits
My soul: aight imma head out
Me toooo
“Are empaths real??”
I’m right here.
If you follow Cancel Culture, you are not an empath.
You could even feel what a person's been through in his whole life on your first look without even knowing him, you can't really describe it you just felt it....
i can’t help but cry when i see others cry
Wow, I finally know the difference about empathy and sympathy, and It turns out I don't fell empathy 99% of the time. Oh well.

Gift! You have to be sure to balance your own emotional health with helping others though. It takes a lot of practice and learning to set healthy boundaries or to know when you are the one who needs to help (be that listening or otherwise).
This stuff affects me so much that I can't read or watch things about like, the WWI or II because I feel so strongly for everyone who went through so much pain. I never had a name for it, so thankyou!!
These are all me, dead on. Never related to anything more than this, didn't know it had a name :o I'm proud now 😁
i wanna be a psychiatrist one day
Being empathetic is why I became a therapist. It's great work.
thats great!
No u don’t lol
I really don't think you know what you're saying.
If you live in America, don't. You'll have far too much pressure to shill for big pharma. Plus, doctors(including Psychiatrists) on average come out of Med school with 200k in debt, which is a contributor to shilling for big pharma too, but is also a huge stressor.
1. Yes
2. Resounding Yes

5. Oh yes!!! Alone time is a must for me.
Being an empath is a gift, but it's crucial do uphold healthy boundaries with those around you otherwise, it can turn into a curse.
Reasons start at 1:55
1. You are emotionally intuitive
2. You jump at the chance to help others
3. You think with your heart rather than your head
4. You’re sensitive
5. You need time to recharge
2:36 literally describes every single decision I've done in my life...
Im exsacally the same way
I can actually get goosebumps and shivers down my spine when I see someone that's hurt, even animals.
So I am an empath, and being an empath is both a blessing and a curse.
It's a blessing, because you know what you're friends are going through and you can easily relate to them, even if you haven't experienced what they're going through.
It also helps if your friend and/or family member needs someone to talk to and you can always be there for them, that makes you a wonderful friend.
Another reason why it's a blessing is that we tend to understand more than some other people, you would be surprised to see how many people don't really care about the little things that get to us.
The reason why it's a curse, is that you are easily taken advantage of. This is coming from personal experience, because I have been taken advantage over and it did not end well for me. I'm much better now, but that is one of the dangers of being an empath.
It's a curse, because when you go into a crowded room you are hit with so many emotions, you are thrown off and that's why most empaths are introverted.
Most of the time, people will come up to you and start spilling of what's bothering them, and you cannot really say no, because you want to help them in the best way that you can and you would feel like a failure if you said no to them.
When you spend too much time with other people and start confusing their emotions with yours, you tend to go into a state of mind that you think that the emotions you're feeling because of other people is your emotions and that can get pretty nasty, again I'm speaking from personal experience.
Most of the time, being an empath is a curse. But when you help a loved one go through whatever is holding them down, you feel better about yourself and about them now that you've helped them.
It is also okay to take a break from people every once in a while and take time for yourself, talking to a close friend also helps.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
This channel is my religion
Ok
I think this is a freaky coincidence bc ive been questioning this
I feel like the hardest thing about being an empath is sustaining good boundaries with others. Most of the time, empaths want to help another person with their feelings and sometimes, it’s taken too far and the empath’s needs are not being met. What helps to cope with this is remembering that I can’t control anyone but ourselves, that I need to fulfill my own needs if I want to help others, and to set aside one day or a few hour block just to myself and relax. For me, I dedicate a few hours every Saturday to play video games. For some people, that’s 30 minutes a week. I hope this helps someone. Go empaths!
My ex was selfish and I got drained. I found out I’m a Empath and now learnt the words $&@) off don’t sap my energy ya dawg!! Sick of forgetting about number 1. Great video. I have learnt so much from your vids and from my job as a mental health nurse. On the road to self improvement.
being an introverted empath who's struggling with depression and insecurities is so challenging
How long have you known you're introverted empath?
@@Psych2go basically all my life but i really started thinking about it and feeling it 2 years ago I'd say
I feel for you Moonlight, I was in your place several years ago. I think you could benefit from my channel as it could help to give you a clarity on a lot of what you're going through. Not just by watching my video's but by conversing with you, I feel guided to try and help you, I can guarantee that their is a wonderful person inside of you that want to come out. Healing is the best medicine. much love, stay strong, namaste.😇🙏👍
I'm not one of those but.....
*IM EARLY*
Yes
Don't forget to be early too next time :)
I guess I'm an empath, i thought I was a bit strange. Especially this year, we were learning history really quickly and wjen learning about ww1, casualties, unemployment, the great depression, ww2, genocide, MORE casualties, bombs and everything inbetween, i litterally felt depressed. It was genuinely painful to hear about everything and is still affecting me a week later. Not only that, but im constantly aware of people and their feelings and always need a break to myself. I think, despite how much pain it brings me, I think being an empath is a gift and I'm happy that I'm aware of what people feel. After all, words can't always describe feelings and I'm glad I can be there for people even if it hurts me sometimes. With a gift like this, you just gotta be strong sometimes :)
I recently realized I was an empath. I'm currently in high school and I'll pick up on random people's emotions which is so draining. It is frustrating because I want to help people. I try to get alone time but with a younger sister its tough.
I'm not one, just wanted to take a look

This comment probably isn’t original,
But I bet you’ve copied too.
Where did you come from?
Psych2Go I just love the videos about crushes and if someone likes you back and I also subscribed. I know you probably asked this because from my YT picture, right? And if you meant from what country, I’m Polish.
@@Psych2go Where did you go?
Thats a lie!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!
Yep, totally an empath. It's worked plenty of time, however when I used to spend time with my grandma and try to help him feel more positive, he pushed it aside, I wanted to hear why he was so negative and he'd tell me vauge stories and if feel for him, however he gave nothing back to me. Feels like he took an advantage of that sometimes.
Honestly, I hated the experiences I went through but I actually REALLY enjoy helping people through their problems. I always say that "things will get rough" or "life may not always be perfect" because I know that whether you're trying to better yourself, trying to find yourself, going through something, ect. There are going to be challenges for them to face. I may "give out wisdom" but I can't really do much other than encourage motivation and tips and I'm not an expert either. So, sometimes I will feel terrible if I don't be there for a person who asks for my help....anyway I'm done with my blabbering. I hope to whoever's read all of this enjoys there day.
someone show this to shane dawson
*5 Signs you are an Empath:*
1. When you feel 2nd hand pain when someone else gets hit in the balls
I was recently told by a reliable psychic that I am an empath. This is the third time a intuitive person has said this to me. My take away from this person is to learn how to protect my energy field so I don’t feel drained. I don’t think being a empath is beneficial at all. I can’t watch the news because the random negativity is too much for me. We all know it’s fake anyway, but just the death and destruction of television news is hard on me. I have learned to surround myself with positive people and media. Being a dumping ground for whatever pops up on tv and being around negative people is a huge burden for me. Thanks for the video and peace and love to everyone. Namaste
Being an empath isn't always easy.
It's like you have so much love, and you give it away to everyone! Everyone, to the point where you sometimes give your love and kindness to the wrong people.. and you eventually run out of love.. and you don't have any left for yourself.. because you gave it to the wrong people. They drained you out of love and you would need more than a few days to recharge. For me, it took at least 5 years for me to start loving not just my friends and family, but also started loving myself for who I am.
And, yeah, It's overwhelming. It's overwhelming having to deal with a lot of emotions. One close friend is all happy and giggles and you feel that way too and you feel like it's the best day of you life, but when you get home, you're mom may have a horrible day at work and makes it obvious that she doesn't want to be bothered, you immediately feel a slight feeling of anger and you feel like you would snap at the smallest things at home.
Nobody:
15 y/o girls: omg i knew it
Me: wow! I’m early
Everyone else: I THINK NOT BIOCH
I think
Ok but my Cheerios are stale
SAME LOL!!
I'm learning that I'm an empath and so much makes sense when I watch these videos... Thank you for making them! :)
I didn't know I'm an empath until recently I realized that why do I feel fear and irritated when my new classmate's work is rejected? And when I think about it, everything makes sense to me. My family kept saying to me "if you don't tell us, hoe would we know?". I always thought that my family aren't being considerate, and so I was always mad at them. Sometimes I felt weird like how I can know what people think or feel, and I ask my family, they said I'm bluffing. I sometimes feel extremely mad out of nowhere while taking a nap, and wonder why. This explains a lot, and I can't expect anyone around me to believe this.
