    The hardest part is longing for friends but craving isolation. Isolation always wins

      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.

      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.

    @Lincolnberries 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2090

    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.

      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, 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.

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 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 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.

      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

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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 🤗

    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...

    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.

    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✌🏽

I’ve always thought when can I just be myself, loads of people around me being themselves and me myself tuning in to everyone, thinking I wasn’t allowing myself to be ‘myself’, when in fact I was. And I’ve only come to realise this by listening to this video. Thank you for making me realise this.

    Hello Kirk Duncan thank you for this video. It just re-enforces what I have known all along. Let me start off by saying I know there are distinct differenced between having empathy and being empathetic and having the power of an empath. I have always been able to sense certain peoples feelings/emotions. Sometimes I don't even know I have been drawn to someone and have thought it was just coincidence that I have spoken to stranger. It usually gets started by me say hello and asking the person, "how are you doing today?". I have had complete strangers tell me their life story, and then look at me in kind of shock and say, "I don't know why I told you that, I have never told anybody that, not even my spouse." Other times I am acutely aware of whose feelings I am perceiving. With them I simply say something like, "is everything okay?", "are you upset about something?" "you appear/seem to be upset, what's going on?" or something to that effect. LIke you said, most times I get a negative response. To which I reply, "well I am here if you need to talk about anything or just need an ear to listen!" Many times, but not always, that person will come back to me and say something like, "I was not being truthful when I said there was nothing wrong/going on or that I was okay" and then they open up to me. You in a roundabout way said this, but I will put it more succintly, "I don't give advice, I just listen to what they say, taking it all in, then I guide them to solve their own problems with what information they have given me." People don't really want you to tell them what to do, but absolutely want to be able to solve their own problems. I am only a vessel or the vehicle that I allow them to use to solve their own problems. I am sorry that it took you a while to figure out how to separate your feeling from other. It is like I automatically compartmentalize others feelings from my own. I never really had that problem per se, other than if someone is angry around me, I tend to automatically feel angry and have to move away from the area or remove myself from the situation. I have ALWAYS personally been sensitive, and often have been told that I get my feeling hurt to easily. This is always by someone, I have taken into my inner circle and feel that they have betrayed me or are insensitive towards me. Thank you again for the video and re-enforcing my belief that I am an empath.
