      I can be in a relationship with someone with a different personality than mines and not be bothered by their lifestyles because I'm aware they are simply doing what's in their nature and know nothing they do is meant to be taken personal. Instead of judging them i prefer to show compassion because their behaviors are just destroying them slowly

    I’m in my 60’s and finally understanding myself. Growing up in the 50’s during the “personality” era when extroversion was worshiped, and introversion/ sensitivity was ridiculed and almost feared as a sure sign a child was doomed to failure in life, my empathic traits, were not valued or understood.
    They were seen as a liability. 15 years ago I found Elaine Aron’s wonderful book on highly sensitive people that turned my world around. Now with the emergence of information on empaths, I am starting to see real value in what have always been considered my “weaknesses”. Truly a very liberating awareness.
    I especially like this video as it answers several important questions for me. My puzzle pieces are slowly starting to come together. Thank you!!

    @LisaLisa-dd1nf 5 лет назад +56

    Empaths are born this way. We don’t decide to develop it. As we age, our abilities strengthen. We want to help others. We want to heal others. It’s not just emotions we pick up, I literally pick up people’s physical ‘traits.’ I have medical issues that weren’t mine. I picked them up unknowingly trying to heal someone else. Luckily it’s typically from loved ones and people I get close to. Many of us keep a small circle of friends.
    You can’t lie to an Empath, we are human lie detectors. Many of us, (myself included) are highly Intuitive, can see spirits, can communicate with those who have crossed over, can communicate with animals. We are loving beings. Sadly, we tend to attract Narcissists. They know we will do all that we can to help them. (They want someone they can control).
    We live and learn every day of our lives.
    A person can develop empathy, however Empaths are BORN Empaths. I believe we are older souls.
    I could go on and on but there are plenty of RUclips videos you can watch and books on Empaths as well.
    Wishing everyone peace and blessings.

Like I feel really different, that no one understands me and also how I perceived the world should be and why we should help every people that we go across. I also think that with all the thoughts that I have, we, empaths can change the world....

    I’m a highly sensitive person, but toughened up due to being ignored, devalued, & without affection growing up. People laughed at me even when the teachers mispronounced my German last name. In 6th grade I started facing my bullies with my niceness and found them quite uninteresting. Poor things. Unfortunately, I am still overwhelmed by compound energies in a room. I have one of those piercing resting faces, terrifying, I’m sure. Yes, I can see into your psyche and it is not pretty. Lol. Those who know me love me. I still have my 3 best friends from high school, over 50 years ago. My daughter asked her Dad once “ how does Mom know certain things?” I could hear them from the next room. He said “ I don’t know, she just does.”

    I am glad to find this video, it is helpful.
    I feel energy of a room immediately at the entrance and my face changes to hide my awareness of the energy in the room so people won’t notice or get confused, especially if the energy is negative I quickly get into hiding my emotions. But, the sad part is if the energy was regarding me and some people still try to express emotion through their physical body as I settle in and I show my emotions as if I have not noticed any thing at all, people will think I am dumb not understanding what was going on. As if now, this will change to benefit me and other at the same time, that I come to understand; I am an empath. It is a great gift from the most High to serve people.

Frankly, a lot of these comments paint empathy as some sort of unnatural inherent force or ability that lets you connect more that what reality governs. I just wanna stop crying when people I hate cry, I want to be able to watch a damn video of someone eating spicy without my nose running, I want to be able to hear a story about a friend getting hurt without feeling empathetic pain run up my back. I don’t hear people’s thoughts, or any nonsense like that. I’m just burdened by the fact I’m incapable of being ignorant of others peoples feelings that should be insignificant.

One of my bosses is a horrible, egotistical, narcissist and he has filled the shop with these screwed-up young people. He likes them young and inexperienced so that he can manipulate them. He has turned them into his winged monkeys. He dislikes me because he can't dominate and control me. He's tried to gaslight me and failed. He only needs to drop a hint to his winged monkeys and they begin to harass me. They all are so base, I can't help but see them as animals operating from their lizard brains.

Of myself or of others, it is all here, and it sometimes messes with my thoughts. Cause the weird thing is, feeling the feelings, I know what I or others are thinking right away.

    Most people aren't comfortable with that level of connection with another person. I believe this is the reason people mislabel empaths as clingy. I mean, we can be, but I think more often than not, people aren't comfortable with that kind of closeness. They just know they want more space.

    Are you making more of this than what it is? If you want to connect better, be vulnerable. I think the family unit has something to do with it, if you were raised with love, acceptance and you saw this in your parents and how they treated others. I don't know many that went through school that didn't get bombed about something. I wore multicolored striped stockings and thought i was cool and kids laughed-pippi longstocking. Never wore them again. Today i can laugh about it. I enjoy your channel immensely-i think beause you're down to earth, have expierenced some of these things and bring a little humor to it.

    Hi ! Does anyone know if Empath could be diagnosed with bipolar disorder? My half-sister told me a couple of days ago that she's diagnosed as bipolar disorder 1. I'm Empath. Our dad was a very sensitive and intuitive person, so I'm guessing my half-sister might be misdiagnosed. (her mom might be a little Narcissistic in someway)
    PS, our dad just passed away 6 days ago. My dad lived with her family. Due to the Cov-19 quarantine, I can't fly back to the funeral. She must be stressed out. I'm doing research to find helpful resources for her. I'd appreciate it if anyone has experiences that could share with me. Thank you!

      @DJLauraTouray 5 лет назад +11

      Kirk Duncan - 3 Key Elements I have noticed that we (Aspies) tend to automatically be more open, gullible and trusting and taking people at face value. I also notice that we tend to push away our gut instincts (which are usually VERY Empathic and spot on!) and go on to convince ourselves that we can ‘fix people’ and please people (even if they are toxic) to make them like us (probably because we know we have never really fitted in or been truly accepted in the world.) It is actually quite heartbreaking to even write this I must say. I can not cope if I am around someone who has a problem with me when I know I have done nothing to that person. This seems to be attached to a permanent low self esteem and that feeling of never being good enough. But I believe that when I was a child, my parents honestly didn’t know how to deal with me! I also believe 100% they are also both ASD & don’t know it. It is a very deep rabbit hole. Let me know if you want to talk more about it with me. I sometimes believe that if I could empty the contents of my mind and make sense of it then I could change the world! I know so much depth about things but can’t always explain it well. I definitely feel that I have a lot to offer to people doing research. FYI - I was only diagnosed last August with ADHD & last September with ASD x

    I'm the one they come to when they need advice, guide and healer and I'm the one that they never call to party with becouse I'm a magnet to people. So I'm to one who is Lough at becouse they don't have what I have. Ability to go in to the fire and survive becoming stronger. And for last year I am that one who they need to ask if I have time for them and the one that they lie to becouse of their shame for knowing that I know. Becouse for first time I did step out from back to front standing firm with truth when lie is spoken. Askinking direct questions and just burning lies with not even one word from my mouth. I have been lied to, betrayed, manipulated and Stepped on just becouse I would rather hurt my self then to let anyone good or bad to suffer. So I lived my life in pain until I lost my self. But finely I'm back and alive. Stronger and more brave then ever. So they know now my doors are open if you come with honesty and shut if you come with.lies and hidden aggenda. This is my life and I'm good enough for it. Otherwise I would not be alive. Dear empath it's time to respect what we are. And don't be afraid to shine with your light. Becouse it's in light nature to shine. So let us shine without shame. ( MY ENGLISH IS BAD but Your UNDERSTANDING IS GREAT ❤😉)

If would wish there where more forums in DENMARK for empaths, cause we feel so alone often. Many people always take advantage of us, or are fake, or maybe they are fake because they don't feel as deep as we do. I think it is a gift to be an empath, but also a curse. !!!

      Empaths are born Empaths. It is not something we learned. That’s not to say you can’t strengthen your own abilities. Everyone has intuition, you can choose to develop yours. You can do your best to understand people’s emotions. However, Empaths FEEL others emotions as if they are our own. I also feel people physically. It’s certainly not all positive. It can be very challenging. Learning to Ground and protect ourselves daily is a necessity. So is Smudging (with White Sage) ourselves and environments daily.
