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
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...
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.
Married one. Getting a divorce.
Have you any idea what delusions of grandeur are, do you know what self-righteousness means?
@@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. 😕
@@MusiciansWithVision
What were you trying to get at by your questions? What were you implying?
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
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.
I love being an empath and sometimes I really don’t. We get taken advantage of so much. People tend to share their personal issues with me a lot and it’s very overwhelming at times! Sending love to my empath family.
That is so true!
Yes
I still get a feeling of "let down" and cry when I'm taken advantage of.
Yes it gives me anxiety I can read thoughts as well and don’t know how to manage. You can sit with me and I can feel a depressed energy if that person is depressed.
❤❤
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
Going through the comments like...”Wow I finally found my tribe. I can relate”
🤣 your "tribe"
@gumshoesoul I swear me too! Lol.... y'all making me so happy and peaceful and calm on the inside.
Yes my family
I'm trying to figure me out this is me my dad and grampa the same. Trying to learn this
I was wondering whether there is an empath social group for us, I might have a look on twitter or Facebook. 🌻🦋🌻🦋
the corona virus has literally saved me in a way. I’ve never felt more free only having to deal with my thoughts.
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
At 49 I'm just realizing I may be an empath.
Omg THIS
I live with my emotionally draining mother who loves to make me have guilt trips. It’s not fun for me
@@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
It’s hard being like this. You can tell how people feel towards you
There's so many things wrong with this lmao.
@@yellowball huh
So true.
Right off the bat
Yes you can and it’s so draining
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?
When I surrounded by toxic people I feel my energy was drain.
Same 😢
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?
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?
I do.
All of the time.
Definitely I feel like mission accomplished Then I feel happy 😃 and free
@@lunajaguar6807 I know , right?😇
Happens..to me all the time..but I am married to a narc and slowly loosing myself...
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
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.
I can even tell when someone is feeling off in a text.
I've had those experiences, that I was picking up the emotions from a text before reading the content.
Me2
😯 wow! Me to
I thought I was crazy
Lizzalizzette Alexander it’s comforting finding others who also feel the same.
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
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
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.
Me too
This is wonderful, tynisha. You are still younger than I was when I finally figured this out. This is such a huge benefit.
Me too dear.
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-
As an empath I wish i could give as good a guidance to myself as i do for other people...
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!
You can💌🙋🏼♀️
Same
Me too
Tyler Cooper I often have been able to give great advice to many over my lifetime. It goes without saying what I've done for my life. You know.
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
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.
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 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 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....
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..
Me too. I know how people feel.
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...
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
💯
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 th-cam.com/video/DLKAtQwmKlk/w-d-xo.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.
I can tell a person's mood just by the tone of their voice.
Me too
Yes and body language and they don't even have to speak
same
Being a writer , I also get it by the words.
Me too
Thank you for this. I did not know I was an empath until I asked my chiropractor why I felt real physical pain whenever I saw someone get hurt. The pain would start in my chest and sometimes go down my legs to my ankles. He told me I was an empath. Now, I have to say I am 71 and have always felt not quite like everyone else. It is interesting because being an empath explains so much. Life for an empath can be quite challenging. It has been for me.
This happens to me too, also when people are being cruel, i feel it as an aching that starts in my hands. When I see someone get hurt or even hear someone describe it i feel the aching in my groin and legs. It had been very challenging.
I thought I was crazy. This happens to me all the time. As a medical caregiver, it has become a very big challenge. Thank you for sharing this.
My chiropractor was the one who diagnosed me as an empath! She performs N S A, natural spinal alignment, turned my world around.
That's so cool that your doctor talked to you about this.
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 love to spend time with myself....
Staying indoors is my sanctuary!
Same here.
anemostrofylos DITTO !
Me to and I always think something is wrong with me
anemostrofylos same
I have to be outside. The "feeling" overload is not as great and that helps. I mean, I can still home in on that one person who needs to talk, or needs that simple smile and a hello.
im an empathy and it can be mentally and physically draining. I feel like I need more sleep than others!! Thanks for sharing.
Me too. Lots of people I know sleep 6-7 hours per night; I NEED 8 hours, but I feel best when I got 9 ... and sometimes I am perfectly able to do 11 hrs or so;-)
I agreed 100%. I have to get at least 12 hours of sleep because even when I'm sleeping it's had for my mind to rest.
Me too..
Mee
Me too..like no matter how much or little, it's never enough
Yes I feel it..so sensitive..I also get these “flashes” or “glimpses” throughout the day of the feelings of another place or time. In that second I can feel everything, mixed with nostalgia, then it’s gone again.
I get that all the time. I do not understand it.
To Amber Vegangirl
I thought something was wrong with me and that I was the only one this happens to frequently!!! I see small snatches of pictures that actually will happen. I feel the emotions.
IT SCARES ME! People don't understand to see and feel the pain of others experiences in your head and heart.
This happens to me a lot, too.
I hear ya!
Im Just finding myself ...little scary cos I can see narcissistic people immediately and they know I know !!! I feel it's a power
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 😊
Im crying i litterally thought something was wrong with me.
Maestas ur a gift

@@christyanderson4595 so what are your plans on your life? On how to improve yourself

Im an empath i can feel your pain
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 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.
It seems a lot of us stay at home and feel that something is wrong with us! I now see that this is normal and I feel better!
Same!
Graham Rodgers ..the number of times Iv been told I’m wierd because of this ...now I know I’m not ..
Same here💙
Yes, this message is on point.
Yes
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 🤗😉
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. 😩
My main problem is attracting men who are narcissists and making my life seemingly more miserable. It's really hard to pinpoint a real man who isn't out to use you, abuse you, or hurt you. I've had all this happen to me from narcissists, scocipaths, or psychopaths.
How about your beautiful loving confirming positive affirmations you say out loud
about what you want and need in your life right now. For example- I am .......It works dear friend. Love to you.
@@user-ey3tk1oz5j thank you!!! I'll definitely do this!
@@dawnorwig1567hi❤
Hope your doing good now.
Was scrolling by reading comments and pumped into yours😊
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
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!
The feeling of having multiple personalities just resonated with me reading someone’s comments. 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.
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.
lol, I get very emotional when watchin contestants get called to "come on down" on the Price Is Right!
@@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
Haha I cry way too often at commercials it’s unreal. I feel you.
Ima Me my parents said why ur so sensitive 😭😂
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.
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! 🙏🏻✝️🛐
My daughter is a empath. At first I did not understand. I was taking her to a psychologist because I thought something was wrong with her at the age of 4 or 5. As she got older I started learning about bring a empath. Not only can my daughter feel some else’s emotions but she can also talk to the other side.
For the first time in my life, I feel understood.
That's great. Thanks for watching.
@@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...
Same feelings here.. I'm so happy that what's happening to me has a name and is understood

I thought I was going crazy having all these emotions etc.

Bob B An incredibly profound question.
@@bobb4011 awfully bold of you to assume that I don't know the difference.. Thanks tho
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.
❤
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.
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.
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!
Me 💯
As an empath I haven't been able to keep a relationship and until discovering the meaning of empathy I always felt like I was the problem but it was because I felt all the wrongs, the lies and deceptive energies etc...I could never address an issue about what my intuition was telling me without the other party being honest about it when I already knew the truth. I always felt crazy and insecure but as soon as I'm with the right people/person that feeling goes away so as soon as my anxiety wears off im with the right people or location.
Omg this describes me to the t.
An empath is someone who is an
‘emotional genius’
they feel everything 💯
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.
Makes sense. I’m always running to help someone heal...even if it means ignoring my own need to heal from my personal battles. I came here from feeling a heavy spirit
I avoid someone that is a broken bird. Just because I feel it’s up to them to figure out what’s wrong with them. If I point it out, they listen but don’t accept it.
That's crazy u say that. Sumthn happen to me new years eve that told me that it was ok not to help for a while atleast to find my feelings. I guess I can say WE now. We don't think of Us when we know we can help. We dive straight in with absolutely no fear or worries about damaging ourselves. Sorry you don't understand, wait you do understand how I feel right now finding people that feel like us. This is so dope honestly. Everything has been answered for me.
I avoid funerals, viewings and any incredibly sad event. I have to. There is too much pain and sadness for me to take on and I can’t help but take it, from the whole room. I have to limit myself to just a few people when there is that much emotion. I cannot shut it off. I have just learned through time that there are some events that for my own well being I need to avoid.
Yes I feel you. I want to help everyone
@@heatherlangley1990 So do I but when I need help it's nowhere to be found. I don't mean that in a self pitying way it's more frustrating.
I've learned to set boundaries and because of that my health is stable I don't get sick like I use to
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.
Don't forget to set healthy boundries to avoid getting hurt.
I'm finding that super hard and people tend not to like boundaries. Have you ever tried a boundary with a bpd or a Covert narrrcist
@@mollymal9690 no contact with a narcissist works magic! Although they frequently try to find a way! NO is NO
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.
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 💜💜
Literally 3 minutes in and I am in tears. I always felt crazy
Same
Nothing feels better than hearing from another empath about empath things, especially when people around you doesn't understand the slightest bit of it. This video was a treat! Thanks, I loved your energy, could resonate so much!
Omg yes im literally crying because no one gets me
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!
I finally found my people I thought I was mentally Ill but this makes so much sense
Better than being a narc actually
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.
I have been called that to. But they are scared of people like us. Be careful.
No you not crazy
@@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
I thought it was all just anxiety. But I have alot of these traits that you are talking about. Thank you!
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.
It’s why I spend my time alone.
Overwhelming at times.
When I meet new people, I immediatly feels if I'm gonna like that person or not. It's like I can sense their aura or something, idk how to call it, like animals do when they sense if you wanna harm them or not
Me too
I'm so glad I found all of you.... 😥😢.. I'm so glad everyone is here for the same as me... I've been alone for so long I really thought I was loosing myself .thank you all for being here for we all need each other now more then other
I went to a crystal shop recently and an employee told me that I'm an empath. I agree. For years, I've been labeled "too sensitive". Your video gave me insight. Thank you!
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 !
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.
I'm a Prophet due to this ability, I have been very sensitive since I was a child and didn't understand my feelings.
We have a 6th sense and I believe I have been created to serve people.
I spend everyday making sure everyone is ok .
Finding out about empath is truly me .
This is so amazing!
I can read a person inside and out, emotions, ,moods, personality types, honest or otherwise, and as a boy, I thought everybody could do this. When I went out in the world, I was astounded in how nobody else could.
Yes, for sure. I'm a face reader too.😇
Sometimes I really hate being an empath. I find myself more depressed over other people's situations, than my own..
Me too. I feel I don't belong to this world
Time to learn to let them go. The creator is in charge of everyone soul!
What I do to keep calm I stay away from negative things and negative people, I don’t watch the news am in my own world
Yep
Same here man
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'll be 65 soon. It took many years to "collect" my tribe. They love me, and understand when I need an alone day. And when it's just too peopley for me! All of them are genuine! And we have another Empath in our group!
35 years of life, finally someone who understands me & can articulate it...this was super helpful. In the past 9 years I've found myself avoiding large crowds like the plague. I've missed all of my kids & family sports games & other events. I feel so guilty but now I understand what's going on & how to "fix it". Thank you. 💜
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.
I've felt more comfortable with animals and in nature than being around people.
Thank you for sharing... ♡♡♡
I feel like this explains why I can have anxiety to leave my home.
Same I'm a dog groomer and a pet sitter/artest I hike and dont do go in groups over 5 people...
I can relate for sure. Its therapeutic for me to be around animals and nature. 😊🐶🦊🐑🐎
thats panic, tough if you are an empath, i've dealt with both
I know exactly what you are feeling. I have suffered anxiety for many years but I am slowly learning or paying attention to where it is actually coming from. I also don't leave the house much but that is a work in progress also. Take care.
I feel more comfortable with animals because they don’t talk
I came here because some months ago, I cried for almost a month thinking about how bad the person (I know) feels to live without a mother from such a young age. Just one voice, one song, one line can make me sink into the feeling. I cried way too many times thinking about others' problems from their point of View.
I'm 55 and going through this... about 25 years ago I started seeing auras. That was about 3 years after I got clean and worked the steps. It's been a rollercoaster.
an empath can feel the emotions of animals and even trees and plants, too! and also can help them!
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... 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 too, attract animals, they love me haha!
I've same vibrations. It's scary I am so drained.
I watered a small tree the other day. The wind was howling until I saw the baby tree!
I'm an EMPATH! Thank you God because after 31 years of confusion, wondering why I'm so hyper sensitive towards certain things, why I'm able to understand and see things about people even when they don't understand it about themselves, why I'm stuck alone indoors for days at a time sometimes, why I absolutely hate being in large crowds of people, hating sitting in the cafeteria at work during lunch break because I can feel every single persons words and actions around me, why I'm the person that people tend to come to for advice, and why I feel so fucking good about making others feel better about themselevs...This has been a massive weight lifted off've my shoulders today. You have no idea.
Internally I've felt so alone for years. Wow..Just wow. I'm ready to continue my journey in life as an Empath. It's gift that has been given to me and I WILL make the best of it.
Bro, this is most informative and useful video I've found yet. You say it. I got there myself, but years and years of confusion. I hope many more watch this
sometimes when i watch a movie and someone is sad it makes me want to cry
Omg I’m in shock that I found ppl who I can relate to.
Welcome ❤
Exactly...
great to relate It wonderful
Same :)
I'm a sigma make who is also a pisces an a emphate an that is why I will find a off grid way to live i promise ☺️
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.
This is the absolute best information on empaths I’ve ever read. I am at the “ just discovering level”. I thought for years I was just crazy, now I can concentrate on ME. Everything in this video is me and helped me recognize ME. Thank you. 🙏
Back when I was in high school
I always voice out the things that I see and feel to my close friends that needs emotional support.
It happened way too often to the point that they got mad at me.. They called me a "Know it all"
Ever since I try my best to hold my tongue...
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.
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
Thank you for posting this. I've known that I am an empath since my days as a pediatric nurse and I concur that it can get very overwhelming to process all the incoming emotions from others. Thanks for giving the tip about Journaling. I already know who I am but I will give it a try. I would never use this gift to manipulate others or do evil because that's not who I am.
I can feel when peoples personality shifts. I feel people’s energy and when it shifts. Sometimes there are people that I come across and they can be nice snd everyone loves them and something inside me tells me I don’t like them and I don’t have a reason or proof but every time I right.
They are opportunist!
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
