Whoever is reading this and going through depression, fear, sucidal thoughts and addictions. You will overcome. Dont give up. You are stronger than you think.
Grace Morgan speaks RUclips Channel Dude omg I could cry this very moment as I read your comment and often forget about people in that rough patch in life. Omg majority of the time I comment assuming others will read it from my happy point of view and understand my intentions of joy...... I’m so glad I seen your comment. You are one of the true heroes in life! THANKYOU
Grace Morgan Speaks- -I've never been able to get a driver's license & had to live a whole summer out of the only car I ever owned, which then got impounded & I never got it back & haven't been able to get a car since. My mother (by her own admission) wanted daughters instead of the 3 sons she got & she maintained a misandric, narcissistic, imposed orthorexic & junctistic attitude towards us (me, especially) throughout much of my life. I was almost killed in 2004, had my only residence taken from me & have reason to believe that she masterminded this, but have no way to prove it; but lawyers who were supposed to get me justice came back with a "no-fault" decision, as if no one did anything wrong. I've attended 2 different "institutions of higher learning" (a broadcasting school & a college where I took classes in digital filmmaking & multimedia), both of which closed permanently before I could graduate (the broadcasting school didn't even notify me). Society (with a few exceptions) has apparently decided that I'm evil simply because I'm a straight white male who feels no compulsion to apologize for this, while most of those who represent other demographics rant endlessly about how oppressed they are, even while they enjoy seemingly endless privileges, which they consistently deny exist. Meanwhile, most of the few amenities I rely on are either condemned as dangerous "addictions" or are stigmatized by society as signs of a serious "disorder", simply because I have my own personality & dare to have any independent opinions... & then, to top it off, I'm urged to not feel how I feel & to "not give up", because "things will get better"... & if I were to.make any effort to end things my way, I would be that much further dismissed & confined (probably permanently) to a psych-ward, which would only make everything worse. Some damage can't be undone with words (especially cliches). I suggest you read about the Rosenhan Experiment & how much worse the situation has gotten since, watch the documentary film "The Red Pill", read the books "Why Men Don't Iron" & "They Were White & They Were Slaves" & find out about narcissistic parents (especially narcissistic mothers), as well as orthorexia & keep in mind that one of the original descriptions of autism defined it as "an extreme variant of male intelligence". Finally, take all the hysteria about corona virus into account & then look online for the stories about Chicken Little, the Orson Welles "War Of The Worlds" radio broadcast incident & RUclips videos demonstrating the children's game "Telephone" aka "Chinese Whispers" aka "Gossip"---& see if you notice a pattern.
The curse of the empath; attracting all the broken people, especially sadistic narcissists. You can only soak and redirect so much negative energy before it destroys you.
No ...u just need to build walls around yourself...no one can hurt u unless u allow them to... especially if your an empath....draw boundary lines depending on how many people can hurt u...I don't allow people to get me angry...tho I have slipped up once or twice but as I got older that stopped...I determine my moods not others...and I usually feel when someone is jealous or wants to hurt me...in those cases I distract them with their own lives ...that works !
Kiran. K. I saw a video on how to protect yourself from people sucking your energy like from narcissist or emotional vampires, you can start by imagining a kinda like your aura, imagine a line maybe 2-3 inches and imagine that to protect anyone trying to take your energy, it really hasn’t helped much but I’m practicing
If you are an empath, you need to learn how to build boundaries. In this modern world, empaths are the favourites supplies for narcissist and psycopath people. Stay safe empaths, you need to be good for yourself too 💖
Yeahhhh i had a roommate in college that everyone said was narcissistic but it was like a bad habit I couldn’t drop. Also I felt like if I could be there for him he’d change but mostly he just drained me
So true Blossoming M! My husband is a narc & I'm an empath. The relationship sometimes is so draining that one day i found myself uttering this ," you suck the life out my life" & he didn't even flinch because he knew what was he doing and does to me. But now I've been setting up boundaries, not for him but for my own sanity.
Hey you are actually wrong on both because narc's don't have empathy and will drain the absolute shit out of you and some are really good at manipulating, and we can't help psychopaths
It's not easy being a empath. I'm too sensitive I cry at the weirdest things because I understand the deeper meaning of it. I get nervous when I see someone sad or upset, I want to help calm them .. its soo much lol
Yeah it's so overwhelming and the feeling of helplessness it's hard. I am still a teen and I get bullied almost every day for being a wiredo and crying daily it's really hard to explain
Gopika P Iyer instead of crying I staid focused on my greatness I didn’t let anyone call me anything I know I’m not. If your a weirdo then make it your best quality. I’m a weirdo for being a know it all so now it’s my middle name and I do it very well 😀 to the point I’m on my way to becoming a health coach. Good luck to you.
Empaths are nothing else but needy cowards. They will be nice towards the stronger and louder, yet demanding towards the weaker and polite. Terrible, absolutely terrible people. It's a good thing that most of them are not ashamed of their behavior and openly brag about it.
@@democratictotalitariansoci1462 what? You just described a narcissistic personality person who may have mirrored that behavior around you or just the people you attracted into your life, maybe your perception of an empath has been tainted by a devil person who deceived you. That I’m sorry you had to endure. Just find your peace and happiness and ignore anything that confuses you from your inner self and peace that you have from the feeling it gives you. Good luck 🙏🏽❤️
That is me. I’m not necessarily an emotionally sensitive person but I can read people’s emotions well and I like to put myself in the other persons shoes.
I always wondered why I was so drained from just being in a room full of people with different emotions. I can see a person and know how they are feeling some wonder how I know!
Now I understand why my family was always telling me, "you're too sensitive", "stop over-reacting", "just ignore him". I was punished for reacting and defending myself. I learned to ignore my true feelings & intuition and almost drank myself to death. Now I understand CORE issues that held me prisoner for years. Awareness, be still, patient and loving myself is such a gift. Life is good today.
Haven't we all ! Lol ....learn to draw boundary lines so that others don't have the ability to make u sad or happy...u do ! U control your own emotions... recognize your weaknesses and strengthen them... negative energy sucks at your soul so turn it around...make yourself happy learn what makes u happy and avoid what hurts u...if u r an empath u will know the ones who want to use u or hurt u.... empathy is a gift that can be used for good but only if you don't allow the negatives in....unless u have the power to fix it which very few do.
01. Understand empathy. 02. Matching your enviroment. 03. A source of support. 04. Imaginary simulations. 05. Depending your relationship. 06. Emotional resonance. 07. Meaning in everything. 08. Reckless giving. 09. Extreme sensitivity. 10. Negative susceptibility 11. Standing up for others. 12. Setting time limits. 13. Dependence on solitude.
I tend to take on other people's issues as if their my own and become too involved. I am learning to just listen to ones issues and move on, let them handle it.
I was like that in highschool but I’ve learned so much and now I handle peoples issues better so they aren’t dependent on me and I am not draining myself😅. It gets better
It's harder the older I get. I'm a suicide attempt survivor and I saved three people from killing themselves nine years after my second and latest attempt in 2012. One woman tried to jump from a bridge after her best friend fatally jumped from it and I was the only one who managed to talk her out of it. We cried, we hugged and she made it home. Two years ago, I had an omen that a coworker was depressed and manic. Ten days after, I saved her from jumping off six stories and whilst everyone thanked me, I broke down so bad that I collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. I took hits to protect others at the expense of my life. I'm the friend who will wipe your tears until toi feel safe. I'm the person who will console someone grieving. I'm the person in the subway who will give you a tissue if I see you crying. I will a buy a full-course meal to an homeless man. I will help a friend pay their rent and be the first to talk to them for hours if something ever happens to them. They will confide in me ans cast their inner secrets on me. I will cry with them and help. I will rush to anyone's defense in the face of danger even if I have to get injured or killed. I'm always someone's helper. It gives me comfort to help but sometimes, it's draining and I often cry because of it. I feel despondent. But happy to bring a smile on their face. The weight of the world is often on my back because I try to protect and help everyone around me and see beyond their eyes. I feel others' sorrow and joy and it's like I CAN'T prevent myself from taking up for others from friends, family members to strangers. I'm very loyal and keep an open heart even though I have a tough, blunt and aloof nature. And all of those who've ever known me or still know me today told me that my heart is my biggest asset and it makes me one of a kind. But I'm a bear with argile feet. However, I'll always come for everyone in need because this is the core of who I am and maybe that's my purpose. However, I also need to not forego myself for the sake of others. It's so difficult because I carry a lot on my shoulders. Maybe I'm only human but doing something is what humans should do. Maybe being an empath is my fate.
I'm an emapth and I cut off my dysfunctional family and narcissistic mother, set boundries, don't let narcissistic people or toxic people take advantage of you! Empaths Rock! ❤❤
@@davidflores6922 You will not regret it, my narcissistic mother was the one causing me so much chaos in my life and making me ill, I had no other choice but to go no contact and it is the best thing I ever did, have faith all will go well for you, many blessings to you and a hug. 🤗🙏
@Marilyn M Once I found out about narcissistic parents in 2016, I immediately knew what my narcissistic mother was doing to me for years, I started going to therapy even before I found out about narcissism, went through the different stages of anger, grieving and last one accepting I no longer will have a loving caring mother, nothing is impossible when you have faith and trust Jehovah God, I have been blessed and am so glad I cut her out of my life completely as she was the one making me sick, putting my oldest daughter against me and everyone else, it was a constant chaos in my life and it was all because of my narcissistic mother creating all this harm towards me for no reason, once I went no contact everything stopped no more chaos or gaslighting, manipulating, controlling me, and I started to feel much better, it was the best decision I've ever made, if I would of continue allowing her in my life and her enablers/flyingmonkeys I would end up dead!! No contact forever!
I am so happy you have found someone who is in tune with their inner self. It must be such a beautiful thing, I can only dream of having something similar one day. Congratulations.
I’ve know i was an empath since i was a kid. I could feel how other people felt since i was able to understand. You can feel the great feelings and the hurtful. It’s a lonely world being an empath.
Don you ain’t wrong buddy, the world is a very lonely place being a empath, you say you’ve known that you were a empath, since you were a kid, believe it or not Don, I don’t know how old you are mate but, I’m 59 years old now buddy, and I’ve been spiritual since I was a kid, or that’s what I’ve been putting it down to, I’ve only ever seen one full spirit, who turned out to be my grandfather who was sitting on the bottom of my bed. I was about 9 years old at the time, I woke up in the night, and sitting on the bottom of my bed was a old man that, I’d never seen before, he was as solid as a human being, there was no light or glow around him at all, he was sitting there and our eyes actually met, I smiled at him and I turned over and went back to sleep, I told my dad in the morning and he said describe him Steve, so I did and he instantly said that is grandfather and he passed away when I 2 or 3 years old, after that I have heard spirits like they are talking to me, plus it’s like someone will say a sentence in my head that I can’t hear out loud just in my mind for example, Steve Deena is pregnant, now Deena is my daughter and at the time she had only just turned 17 years old by a couple of days, so for two weeks I paced my bungalow saying she can’t be she can’t be, two weeks later my ex wife called me and said Steve your gonna be a granddad, unbelievable that was, but all throughout my life it’s happened, I grew up thinking that I didn’t belong anywhere, I have always felt like I’ve been persecuted, I can walk into a building usually a old building with a lot of history to it and I would feel the vibes instantly, I’ve been in places that have made me stop in my tracks and think, what the fuck. About two and a half years ago, I came across a word that I’d never heard before, and believe it or not Don, that word was empath mate, and I found purely by accident, I was looking up another word and I came across the word empath, I thought what’s this all about, it was like I was meant to find it if that makes sense to you Don, but that’s what happens in my life I find or do things like I meant to, but anyway Don I read up on it and, for the very first time in my life, it all started to make sense. I don’t know why I found out I was a empath later in my life that’s if I am one, I have no idea whatsoever, all I know is that I did a survey, I think it was about 35 questions and I answered every one of those questions honestly, I thought if I didn’t I’d only be cheating myself, and I answered yes too every one of those questions bar one question, I kept thinking hang on a minute I’m answering a lot of these right ain’t I, I wonder sort of thing, and when I started reading up about a empath like I said it all started to make sense, I just wish I’d known a lot earlier really like you knew Don, I was 57 years old when I found out buddy and I’m 59 now, it’s a little bit to late for me to start trying to make sense of it all now Don I think. I know exactly where your coming from though mate and picking up other peoples emotions isn’t that nice either at times, and I’ve always thought I am a expert at reading peoples faces, and now I know why, because I can tell straight away, when somebody is lying to me and it’s like I can see every nerve in the face for some reason mate. I really hope that you can make sense out of what I’ve put in my comment Don, I just thought I’d share it with you mate that’s all because it must’ve been really hard on you knowing that when you were a kid, I’m think I’m quite lucky that I didn’t know it when I was a kid mate, is it normal to find out has a child or is it normal to find out later in life it’s a question that I’d like to know the answer to really but take care of yourself Don mate I really do wish you well buddy from Stevie boy in Britain
It is exhausting being an empath. Everyone expects so much of you because you have always given so much. I have also found over the years that this comes with very little gratitude. When you do finally set boundaries, it is met with anger because people have come to expect you to always say yes. During the pandemic I was in absolute heaven. I loved the days upon days in forced isolation with just my husband and grown children.. When I would express this to others they literally thought I was insane. I loved the missed holidays and not having to go into the office. I didn't understand it until I finally realized at the age of 55 that I was an empath. It's exhausting soaking up everyone's pain. Worrying about everyone you love to the point of insanity. Your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings on and on and on. I've said to my husband several times over the years that I don't understand why people fight death. It sounds blissful to me. I'm not suicidal but I have found life to be exhausting at times. It's joyful for sure, and full of beauty but incredibly painful a lot of the time. I never understood why ,until recently, that I am never truly happy if a single person in my small universe is unhappy. And I hate that my feelings are hurt so easily...An irritated look, a certain tone of voice, an unanswered text... Things other people wouldn't even notice or shrug off with ease hurts me to a ridiculous degree. Like I said, it's exhausting being an empath.

@@mrfugazi6713 I think you're something else, Mr. Fugazi, aparte from an empath, I think you have a gift from Yahweh (the name of God), you should research about the different kind of spiritual gifts He gives us, so you find yours and make sense of it, no matter the age, you deserve to know your purpose and meaning, even more when it's so within reach. I send you thousands of blessings and love for you, people like us need it, it is our source of life, God made us like that.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON Hey there fellow empath. I am like you. When I was 16 I was going to kill myself but was saved. I saw all the pain and sadness in the world, my parents were divorce. I was getting abused by my dad and he was always telling me why are you so sensitive (I'm a man btw, which makes it even more rough in our society for guys). I survived my suicide, and years later I learn to remove all the negative energies and people and to go after my dreams and all the positive energies. At 25 years old I realized all my dream I put on my list, because I literally had nothing to loose since I was suppose to be dead. I can't watch the news, horror movies or anything that makes my soul sad. When I see documentary on wars, massacres, etc. I get sad for days. I realized I am by myself, but then I decide that I will do my best that one day I will be a beacon of light for all those people who suffers. I am working on it. This dark world needs us. When one empath succeed, we all succeed with. You know the singer Sia? She's an empath who succeed and now is spreading her message of hope. I salute you and give you a virtual hug. I know the pain.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON Yes. With the abuse it's important to remember that it's easy to blame yourself for feeling like a coward and not sticking up for yourself, but none of that is true. Empaths are simply kind and compassionate people, and not understanding of people who aren't, and of how to deal with those situations with people who are not nice, unkind, and pretty much alien personalities. You are actually much more confused than terrified in hostile situations, and completely unsure of how to respond because you would never do that kind of thing to someone else.
@@Angell_Lee Hi! Yes there are definitely things I've come to avoid as well. The news, politics of any kind. Because politics is well...Hate, and hatred is a useless emotion and only harmful to us. Facebook is another. I don't comment much on youtube, just in topics such as this and how to videos. There are a lot of hateful channels out there, and it's best not to get caught up in all the mean drama from the hate filled keyboard warriors. I as well can never watch war movies and haven't seen one in 18 years since Windtalkers which gave me nightmares for a long time after. Good comedies are hard to come by, so I can handle some drama in the meantime lol.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON i know how it is to be used and taken advantage of over and over again living with my alcoholic mom and dad that was always neutral. After many years of feeling like its just all my fault and starting to convince myself that I'm never going to get loved and appreciated no matter what I showed and proofed about my kindness and love and loyalty to my friends and many others. I went suicidal after getting dragged down many times allowing people to make me feel useless and stupid and locked myself in my own neighborhood for 3 years. then i started seeing my worth and that just most people won't appreciate me no matter what id do since im different and I had thought since I was little about what led to a situation what could be done and how it could have been prevented and how our surroundings have an effect and all that. I'm not going to take to long since I have that tendency to ramble on :P. im going to tell you that I just found out about this video and the word and meaning of an empath today. im from Iceland and I have always wanted to help others over and over again and almost ever meditated on my self but got myself into yoga and have always been outgoing and i really feel for you and what your saying and no your not alone in this we may be few and special of course :D but im also fighting my demons and have gone a quite a long way and i can be proud of myself even though i feel this fight will never end and its probably going to go on all my life in a way but keep to your feelings and stay true and honest with yourself no matter what! sorry for my grammar im, not the best hehehe but i know its at least understandable in some way :P my last words to you and what I've believed in for long that helped me, in the end, is to look into your past and see the light through all the putrid darkness and come to terms with it so you can find peace in your past!, so you can make honest and truthful actions today so you can have a bright and happy meaningful future
I am an empathic soul, God knows I don't get attracted to toxic people, toxic people rather pursues empathic souls simply to take advantage for psychotic pleasures . My experience taught me, that. Thanks
@Steve Smith I get you when you say you feel bad for the nice souls who are get used and dumped by the maniacs : narcist, psychopath, sociopath and the rest of parasitic energy vampires. If you feel for the empathic souls so much so that you are driven to revenge on their behalf. You can set up a platform where you can provide links and support and provide safety measures on ways you can keep them away from dangers I believe that is a better way to help the empathic souls or better still you can get involved in the police force to protect the empathetic souls from constantly getting abused. I like your passion to help people from being unjustly exploited. I will like to know more of you,if you don't mind. Take Care

@@analmichelle2315 love is loyalty, you don’t love him, your obsessed with him and you’ll never be happy. You have to let go of cheating people and find people of value. All you done is force him to stay with you by magical spell. If he’s strong he’ll hate you in the end and if he’s weak he’ll become obsessed with you, even when you tired of him which you’ll become one day it will turn into a nightmare. Don’t play around with this stuff, fate shouldn’t be twisted around your advantage, if you force something to happen you usually get a broken product at the end.
The only thing I’ll say is I’m a high functioning sociopath. I’m not a psychopath because they are born that way. I was forged in childhood by my mum, dad and medical conditions. I don’t deal with people emotionally very well. I’ve leant that words have to be careful used when around emotional people as there’s always an overreaction. The only thing I feel is extreme anxiety, hatred, frustration and anger all day long. I hate my existence but I’m here, to coward to take my life. I don’t understand people, I never really was given the emotional stuff by my parents as a kid. I was told ungrateful and so on. I’m just going on lol, nobody will read this.
Lisa Bremer maybe just turn In . Let go of EEPS (everybody else’s problems) I’m working on myself this year as 2021 is all about change as if this year ain’t enough. Enjoy your ride. 😁☮️❤️🙏🏻
I have to learn this myself. I’m always told I wear my heart on my sleeve and I care too deeply and not to get so involved all the time to keep my self out of other’s problems and situations but I never listen and usually end up for it. I’m trying to learn to turn this off starting at my job and not being such “friends” with everyone. I guess I’m turning things around because now I’m being asked to take on more responsibilities and actually was asked to move up. I’m trying so hard and praying I don’t make a misstep and mess it all up.
Most of us empath' s feel like we don't fit in and no one can possibly understand us. This is a common trait for us and our personality type. Good news is your not alone and there are others that relate to what your feeling and thinking. We empath s tend to speak a different language than other's. Have you ever talked to family or friends about what your feeling or seeing before it happens and they give you that look? You know that look of WTF are you talking about or saying? Lol. Then we catch ourselves and think it sounded good in my head it now sounds crazy when I verbally express it. Lol. Yeah that experience and many other's tend to sound like a foreign language to most but it makes sense to us. I'm blessed with an extended family and friend's that don't give me a hard time or the look when I'm feeling something or someone and express those emotions verbally. Well my mother in law gives me the "huh" look I then explain in my native foreign empath language and she either gets it or she doesn't but no judgement from her either way. It's nice to be able to be myself and feel safe around the people I love. It also helps that my husband and nephew are also empaths. Three introverted empaths in my household and one extroverted mother-in-law that has to have attention a minimal of at least 20 time's a day to recharge her batteries while us three introverts are in different area's contently enjoying our solitude and projects. We know where the other is of we need something but for the most part we're groovy being on our own. This drive's the extrovert crazy. Lol. She just doesn't get how we can go a whole day without talking to one another or anyone else for that matter and be okay. We cut her a break from time to time and visit with her so she feels special. Lol. I think you know where I'm going with this. We are what we are and that's a blessing not a curse. If you have time go check out the you tube channel Empath Uprising. We have a tribe of like minded empaths such as yourself that know exactly how you feel and what your going through. It's a little unconventional but great none the less. It's been a great support system to myself and I thought I would share so you can meet some like-minded people who get and understand you. Take care and try to cut yourself some slack. Your only human.
@@MM0SDK : You'd be surprised at how many of us there are. It's not large overabundant numbers but it's not a small ratio either. It also depends on how isolated you are from the outside world and where your located. We prefer our solitude and locations closer to nature. Urban life tends to wear us out. We're surrounded by to much energy in cities and that affects us on a daily basis. We need the quite alone time to recharge our batteries or we're useless to everyone and ourselves. Surely you've got like-minded people like yourself somewhere around you. Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe I can help offer some suggestions so you can connect with your brother's and sister's.
@@bull9614 it can be done! I hv mastered controlling my emotions. It wasn't easy and it is an ongoing process bc it's easy to let your emotions take over. But it is so worth it! Bc it is so gratifying being the one with a cool head in a situation when someone else is losing control bc they are angry with you. Lol! In the end, it also helps the one losing control and they come back to their senses faster. Plus, at that point, they know that u are not a pushover nor easily intimidated! 😉
@@69melgar thank you for your response. Although I want to know how it's done, can you recommend any techniques as I tend to let my feelings take over at rare occasions
I am empath. After short connection I read people's mind clearly like it was written on their forehead. I can easily make others happy or touch their hearts by only a few words. But I've learned never abuse my ability, choose someone who deserve the sunshine, and cut those pure negative ones out of my life, because they can't be saved.

It gives me comfort to help but sometimes, it's draining and I often cry because of it. I feel despondent. But happy to bring a smile on their face. The weight of the world is often on my back because I try to protect and help everyone around me and see beyond their eyes. I feel others' sorrow and joy and it's like I CAN'T prevent myself from taking up for others from friends, family members to strangers. I'm very loyal and keep an open heart even though I have a tough, blunt and aloof nature. And all of those who've ever known me or still know me today told me that my heart is my biggest asset and it makes me one of a kind. But I'm a bear with argile feet. However, I'll always come for everyone in need because this is the core of who I am and maybe that's my purpose. However, I also need to not forego myself for the sake of others. It's so difficult because I carry a lot on my shoulders. Maybe I'm only human but doing something is what humans should do. Maybe being an empath is my fate. Maybe it's my responsible for those I care about and maybe it's my sacrifice.
I don’t wanna sound narcissistic but I do check all 13 signs, one after another. It’s a blessing and a curse! I don’t hang out with fake people, it’s painfully sad and I can’t be myself around narcissistic people also. I’m constantly walking on eggshells when I’m working with a toxic person. Life is exhausting but I love it so much! 😅
me too, i cant be myself around narcissists as I cant connect with them internally and somehow get carried away by them.. what could we do to solve this?
I don’t think I’m an empath but I pick up on energies from people in the same room as I and I get emotional and tired while doing the smallest things. My heart goes out to all the Empaths who may be reading this 🔥🖤
I don't know how much my opinion will mean to you but I would be willing to bet that You are an empath! Your comment alone shows a tremendous amount of empathy! 🕊❤️
Had been there. All you gotta do is prioritize & strive where you're directed. Don't tired yourself picking on something beyond. Observe, Recognize, Rectify...
The struggle is real. I never realized how empathetic I was until i was in my late forties. It made sense why, as a kid, I was the way I was. Also, coming from a difficult home made everything so confusing. Being highly empathetic makes life hard for me. I'm so bothered by little things, and I tend to complain alot about them. Also, I rarely feel comfortable in my own skin unless I'm alone. I hate watching really violent things, especially cruelty to animals and children. I have a hard time listening to child abuse crime stories. I try to avoid those.
As a empath you must understand that some people you just can't fix, you know who they are that's a gift we have and understand and listen to your intuition.take care my brother's and sister's and be blessed.
I knew I was an Empath but I only related it to being a loving, caring person. Just recently I learned by not setting any "Boundaries" I was actually getting sick
i've always wondered what was going on with me. i thought maybe i had mental issues and needed therapy. i blamed all of this on being a libra but no. it is so much deeper. this just solved my mystery. here i am 30 years old and just figuring a little bit more about myself ❤️
I'm a Libra too, 57 & just figuring it out. You'll be much better prepared. Don't get sucked in. Try to be cautious, trust your gut & don't try & save the world xxx
After 50 years of life I’ve finally realized that I’m an empath and that explains so much. Now I have to go back and analyze all my past relationships and see it from a different vantage point.
@@rehabkhan3015 11:11 is a universal number which is actually connected to the universe it's also related to our subconscious mind & also in spiritual level u can manifest but your vibes and desire should be good enough to attract what you need for different peoples it acts differently sometimes when I felt low or something or confused it actually helped me to bring my Positivity back but on the other hand when I had doubts or unconsciously I wished when I was not comfortable it my day went like a roller coaster
Yes omg!! It's old video, but I'm just knowing seeing it. But yes 11:11, it was 2:18=11 when viewed by myself and been seeing 1111. 11. 1. 222. 22. For about 3 weeks straight on car tags, clocks etc. And my energy is discombobulated. Off course I'm research why.. ♋🙏🤷🏾♀️🙂🙏
It can be hard at times. Self care is important. Spiritual practices are important to help release those emotions and energies. Also help you get in touch with your true essence and remember who you are! Exercise also helps get you grounded and release! Dancing! Nature! Also getting grounded by spending time with trees and water. Breathing exercises. Feeling other energies and emotions can be a beautiful gift if you can find a balance and it can help so many people heal. You are enough! You are love! ❤️❤️
Sucks when you care so much you wish you could turn into God just to help the person become better and help in a positive way. But of course we are not God but we are Duaghter and Sons of the Most High God. I try to be the light in a dark place for people and speak words of encouragement and positivity for mostly all the people that may be going through something and at time lend a helping hand. It can leave you feeling drain when you dwell on another person wellbeing in situations that you can't help but wish like heaven that you could help.
You sound exactly like me. I also wish I can take people's problems on and make them disappear, but alas like you say only God is capable of that. I so wish that I can help all the orphans and old people and the mentally challenged ones. 💗
@@julietmatthew9689 Because she knows who she is, keep searching for the truth. We have been taught to give our powers to a higher being and this is what has caused our world to suffer. We as women have the powers to build it up or to tear it down🤔. Sisters wake up and learn who you are, our children are suffering because we have been put to sleep. Stop giving others control of our minds. Shalom ♥️
I thought I was anti-social but realized that I am empathic. I get so stressed being in a crowded area with people it drives me crazy. I value alone time so much it is heaven to me. I have people open up to me about their personal business without even asking. You become a magnet for many people in pain. You become a beacon of light, and if you do not find a way to deflect it, you will be miserable.
@@gratis6734 I am not autistic! Just because I hate being around crowds doesn't make me autistic. Just because one can pick up vibes from individuals do not make someone having a mental disorder.
All of these are so true. I definitely need my solitude. Even my children will say, dad needs time before he makes a decision. Being an empath is so draining but it also has its good points. At times you feel as though you are trying to help everyone.
This is the best summary of an empath I've found on the net!! Thank you!Particularly, it explains the paradox that has always puzzled me.. why, with so much empathy, love and willingness to connect to people, are empath often alone? You explain it perfectly, the empath often see through people's lies and pretentions, sees their real feelings and needs. They want to help but people want to cover up. So there is always conflict, and you have to cover up too, or you will embarass them. It's all too hard, so you pull away and end up alone. Animals are great friends an empath, they rarely have these complications.
I wish I had all this guidance growing up !! All along I stayed on my own feeling there's something wrong with me. I had to figure it all out on my own, how to control myself and put boundaries. And yes unfortunately we are magnet to narcissist !! Yet I feel blessed and happier than the average person. I pick and choose carefully when , who, or where I will spent my time !! Hope this video helps other Empath understand themselves !! It was not easy alone. Thank you ! Great video !✌✌
It is a gift in time you will understand you have to set boundaries and realize when to walk away you cannot help everyone especially those who refuse to try and help themselves you are No 1 remember that or you never succeed as an Empath sometimes you just have to say NO for your own sanity trust me ☺👜🐱⛪♒
Being an empath and knowing for years but tried to block it. .. the more you understand about your gift the better and easier it will to be able to receive others and not be so affected. Learning how to shield yourself is all that will help once you do that you will truly see the beauty in it
This is yet another simple and EXTRAORDINARY video full of take aways. Two things I learned in my life are: 1. I never regretted to have given, most likely because giving in itself is a HUGE source of pleasure/rewards. 2. Having studied my past experiences, I can probably say that it is TOXIC people who remain and undermine emphats after meeting them; not the other way round. If emphats remain with toxic people for long time regardless, then most likely they are Co-dependent. And it is this personality disorder of Co-dependency that needs to be fixed not EMPHATY. We desperately need many, many, many more emphats in the World.
Me, me, me, all me. I wish I could give this “gift” of being an empath back. I find myself always attracting people who are highly toxic and they seem to discover that I’m a great doormat and they can use me as a punching bag at their discretion. After they hurt me to where I wonder if death would be a better option for me, I begin finding myself feeling bad for these toxic people, and I go right back for another emotional beating. The anxiety, depression and self-destruction is real and unfortunately, my brain forces me to carry others problems for them. It’s absolutely exhausting.
I am an empath and now I can't watch news because whenever I hear bad things happening to people I cry for them and become sad for days. I literally don't watch TV. Caring has led me to feel tired
@@Rickyrocks2020 I am married to a narc,life is so difficult. My children were affected but I've learned to defend myself now. I've done my research how to deal with this evil,toxic filthy pigs.Nothing is positive inside them but pure evil intentions.
@MarSar Fishin' if I was, I would point out your spelling mistake. I have to work with a narcissist, but I'm not one myself. I am, however, a brilliant and modest comedian
Just pray for people and keep it moving. That way you won't get caught up in the hurt the games and the abuse nor the lies that a lot of people do. I use to try to help everyone but now I just try to help myself.
Strange stuff Andrew?... I'm at that very moment of the comeback from all that nasty stuff.... It took 6yrs to just understand wtf happened and sort it out... You're concise and hit it on the button.. Happy healing man🙏🏽
So I'm an empath and fully agree with the content of this video. Although, the sensitivity often extends to the physical being also. As I and many others, I'm sure, are affected by things such as coffee, alcohol, drugs. It's as though it all has to do with a sensitive nervous system.
Also, to everyone who are calling themselves an empath, ask yourself if you ever saw it as a curse rather than a blessing. I say this because many narcissistic people call themselves empaths. It's such a strange phenomena and sometimes that's why we are so attracted to narcissistic types. We usually only find out too late.
this makes so much sense!!! could you elaborate? i always thought i couldn’t handle caffeine, alcohol & marijuana because of my anxiety. i had no clue it could have been because of this!!!
Gemini empath here, talk about being emotionally exhausted being attracted to toxic people and self medicating to quiet my mind. But there are benefits, I can talk to people on a very deep level, people know they can trust me
@@toddlagerholm2304 because trying to be around other people is draining... we enjoy time alone where we are most comfortable in our own energy fields to recharge and to clear our minds, think about our own life instead of trying to fit in and absorb and filter different energy... we don't just communicate verbally, we can sense energy and see how a person reacts with body movements as well as eye contact.. that's how we gather information on how we react in certain environments.. trust me that is extremely stressful...
Sometimes when I watch a movie that is sad, I cry. I used to get overwhelmed by soaking up everyone's energy and would have to leave the room for a few minutes. I have learned how to block certain energy out. I am more at ease after learning this skill.
Omg! Thede traits describe me perfectly Interesting too, because my mom has some narcissistic attributes and I turned out to be auite empathic. Funny how that happens. Seems the children of narcissistic parents go one of 2 ways(in most cases). They either become narcissistic themselves or they go the opposite route and become more empathic. I much prefer the label, Empath to Overly sensitive or codependent. I mean for me, I feel like a level headed, emotionally healthy person. I just experience life so much through my emotions and my heart. I do see empathy as both a gift and a curse. Thank you for posting this video
Being empathic is more than just putting yourself in people's shoes it's the ability to feel people's pain and distress and want to fix it, and many times you can't with leave the empathic person feeling worthless great huh fun
Because if you could fix it, you'd stop feeling worthless? Things outside my control, I'm not responsible for. Toxic sympathy was a tough one for me to grapple with. When I started to pay more attention to my feelings, and the inputs that triggered them. I started to see things about myself, things that were blind spots.
@@apostatejim2080 someone who is truly empathic feels other people's pain and the ability not to fix it there for the pain gets transferred onto them . It's not about fixing it to feel worthwhile.. it's about seeing someone hurt and not being able to do anything about it, and then having to sit with that pain with no resolution, watching others suffering, not being able to help while having their pain and my distress.
Sometimes it is draining, because others won't take you seriously and still do what they want. And you have given all your efforts to them and they throw your words away.
Once when one of my classmate's mothers died. I cried 3 times that day because I kind of shared empathy for him in a way. I talked to a teacher he works with about it and when she told me "there is nothing you can do to fix it" I froze. That is the sentence that still haunts me because it makes me feel worthless and I really want to fix everyone so they don't end up depressed with anxiety like me (yes I have been professionally diagnosed). I feel like being a true empath is a curse for you but a blessing to everyone around you.
I don’t like bragging about my empathic ability, I’ve often felt it as a curse where I wish I didn’t feel so deeply. I’m also learning my INFJ personality type, and I do agree all of us have the ability to feel empathy but I definitely do just feel. I’m finding that becoming more mindful and caring for myself is helping. I definitely can mirror emotions. When my Mum gets anxious or upset cause something’s not the way she wants it, or is taking too long, I definitely become the same way. But again I’ve been trying to be more mindful, to recognize I do this, so when she’s upset I can realize ok how can I respond more positively? Or if she’s sarcastic cause she’s upset if I respond in kind I getting better at realizing it and I apologize. When I do that it makes her step back too, it somehow calms her? And we get on a better ground. This video is really good. Thank you 🙏 ...
It's a tough situation for dating as I've ruined female friendships by getting feelings and being unable to continue a platonic relationship afterward because of rejection, rumination, and these strong emotions, and also unwilling to "date around" because you are afraid of hurting someone because you know how it makes you feel and you don't want to put them through it. It makes finding a romantic partner quite difficult.
Building your own boundaries helps stop you overstepping yourself with feelings as well as stops the toxins from using you. I still try to be kind in dating but learned long ago not to catch feelings too easily. I learned after being married to a narcissist who hurt me so much when I trusted him so deeply. So from then on, it was proceed with caution.
@@joywebster2678I’m with one now for over 8 years. We have 4 children. My 15 yo just told me she’s sad for me because I don’t receive love and affection and she can tell I’m sad even though I try to hide it. I hate the situation I’ve put myself in.
Oh dear. You are describing me. I always feel like I am sitting on a picket fence because I feel both sides of an issue deeply. People are always wanting me to pick a side of a situation
Being an empath is not even a good thing it's awful so I'm not sure why all the Millennials want to call themselves and pass it comes with a high degree of hurt and sensitivity and responsibilities
Whatever the opposite of empath is what I am. I hear a lot of empaths say stuff like I can see people intentions a mile away but what concrete evidence do they have that this is actually true? Has every person they felt were toxic actually prove themselves to be that way? Also, it seems like people are self diagnosing after watching one very short video.
I can't thank you enough for creating such an extraordinarily eye-opening video! I'm feeling so much more understood and validated in a way in my being. Amazing job, guys!
Other than my sister, I haven’t told anyone I’m an empath. People tend to think I’m a loner. I’m just recharging. Although, I do not like crowds. Crowds are overwhelming. I feel everyone’s emotions.
I don't have any close friends. I'm not down about it. I like being alone..just not constantly. Much love y'all 💗💗. Healing thoughts and feelings your way 💞🤗
Looking through the list I guess there'd be a fairly strong case to call me an empath, though I've never really considered myself one. Interesting nonetheless.
I’m a true empath according to my therapist but I was raised by/with narcissists. All of my siblings are narcissists or have narcissistic tendencies and now, just now, in my mid-30s I’ve finally found help and it’s allowing me to move on and be okay with myself. I’ve been called everything under the sun for setting strong unmovable boundaries but I’ve realized they’ve taken enough. So much more to learn; I love being vulnerable but don’t know how to stop being so susceptible. So I’m long ways away from being “fine” but in the meantime I’m doing okay 👍
This whole thread clarifies so much for me. Through the years i"ve come to organically realize what I must do to care for myself spiritually and mentally. I now embrace this integral part of me and no longer lament this gift. Be blessed, be safe.
I don't know any empaths around me, however I'm grateful for little sympathetic character of some people. I'm feeling lonely even if family is around , but being alone on beach makes me feel peaceful.
Soaking up the positive side of empath as negative is all I knew and have known my physical manifestations are changing my dna and my whole nature vs nurture mindset 🙏🏾
How this hit home.. oh my gosh. Yes.I am a 150% emphatat.. I have always been this. What you said is exactly what happened after 32 years of marriage. I lost everything.. I was only 20 years old when I got married. I am still broken and it's been two years. I have panic attack and struggle making friends. I struggle even going out to buy food. I don't have a job. I have to beg for support whilst living with my 84 year old mother that reminds me every single day how my separated husband killed my father. My brother lives in another country and doesn't understand.. He has no idea what happened to his sister. He just dislikes the fact that I am staying with my mother. I can go on and on. Nobody cares and I am trying to fix me ..it's constant. Small steps because big ones causes very bad depression. My, not divorced narcissistic ex husband has moved on. His a man with a roof over his head and a job, a girlfriend with money. I after 32 years and three sons are battling just to be whole and remind myself every single day that I am normal for needing time, support and love.
Being an empath it is so great helping others and being there for another, but I feel we as empaths take on such a huge burden emotionally which impacts us psychologically and a domino effect happens. Empaths have a hard time saying no to others and honestly I feel like if I wasn’t an empath maybe I wouldn’t be prone to anxiety bcs I would be able to turn off all that hurt ppl walk around with and it is like a magnet to you. But this is just me, but again I am better off being an empath than a narcissist
When I was young I didn’t know the difference between my emotions and other peoples . I have been a lot happier in life now that I know the difference 🕊🌱🕊
Being a empath person I have learned so many things through my experiences and I have changed my personality completely.People used me for their interest and I have ruined my life in order to make them happy.At that time I was completely lost and even didn't get time for myself.But now I used to spend time with my kids without any fear.

Grace Morgan Speaks-
-I've never been able to get
a driver's license & had to live
a whole summer out of the only car
I ever owned, which then got impounded & I never got it back & haven't been able to get a car since.
My mother (by her own admission) wanted daughters instead of the 3 sons she got & she maintained a misandric, narcissistic, imposed orthorexic & junctistic attitude towards us (me, especially) throughout much of my life. I was almost killed in 2004, had my only residence taken from me & have reason to believe that she masterminded this, but have no way to prove it; but lawyers who were supposed to get me justice came back with a "no-fault" decision, as if no one did anything wrong.
I've attended 2 different "institutions of higher learning" (a broadcasting school & a college where I took classes in digital filmmaking & multimedia), both of which closed permanently before I could graduate (the broadcasting school didn't even notify me).
Society (with a few exceptions) has apparently decided that I'm evil simply because I'm a straight white male who feels no compulsion to apologize for this, while most of those who represent other demographics rant endlessly about how oppressed they are, even while they enjoy seemingly endless privileges, which they consistently deny exist.
Meanwhile, most of the few amenities I rely on are either condemned as dangerous "addictions" or are stigmatized by society as signs of a serious "disorder", simply because I have my own personality & dare to have any independent opinions...
& then, to top it off, I'm urged to not feel how I feel & to "not give up", because "things will get better"...
& if I were to.make any effort to end things my way, I would be that much further dismissed & confined (probably permanently) to a psych-ward, which would only make everything worse.
Some damage can't be undone with words (especially cliches).
I suggest you read about the Rosenhan Experiment & how much worse the situation has gotten since, watch the documentary film "The Red Pill", read the books "Why Men Don't Iron" & "They Were White & They Were Slaves" & find out about narcissistic parents (especially narcissistic mothers), as well as orthorexia & keep in mind that one of the original descriptions of autism defined it as "an extreme variant of male intelligence".
Finally, take all the hysteria about corona virus into account & then look online for the stories about Chicken Little, the Orson Welles "War Of The Worlds" radio broadcast incident & RUclips videos demonstrating the children's game "Telephone" aka "Chinese Whispers" aka "Gossip"---& see if you notice a pattern.
As an empath, I've learned to be very careful who I have in my company.
Yes,yes,yes
yes different, feeding off other people's energy is what made me realise that
If u r 1. U pick up on everything but try to be 1 step ahead
Have a tendency to isolate to recharge. Need God everyday!
Amen. I refuse to be around negative people.
The curse of the empath; attracting all the broken people, especially sadistic narcissists. You can only soak and redirect so much negative energy before it destroys you.
No ...u just need to build walls around yourself...no one can hurt u unless u allow them to... especially if your an empath....draw boundary lines depending on how many people can hurt u...I don't allow people to get me angry...tho I have slipped up once or twice but as I got older that stopped...I determine my moods not others...and I usually feel when someone is jealous or wants to hurt me...in those cases I distract them with their own lives ...that works !
Dawn Hoffman cccvvvvvcvxdg
How to creat wall to stop ruining ourselves ? If I'm not wrong then real empath are only 5% in world
this is so true
Kiran. K. I saw a video on how to protect yourself from people sucking your energy like from narcissist or emotional vampires, you can start by imagining a kinda like your aura, imagine a line maybe 2-3 inches and imagine that to protect anyone trying to take your energy, it really hasn’t helped much but I’m practicing
If you are an empath, you need to learn how to build boundaries. In this modern world, empaths are the favourites supplies for narcissist and psycopath people.
Stay safe empaths, you need to be good for yourself too 💖
Yeahhhh i had a roommate in college that everyone said was narcissistic but it was like a bad habit I couldn’t drop. Also I felt like if I could be there for him he’d change but mostly he just drained me
Specially if your parents are one of them.
So true Blossoming M! My husband is a narc & I'm an empath. The relationship sometimes is so draining that one day i found myself uttering this ," you suck the life out my life" & he didn't even flinch because he knew what was he doing and does to me. But now I've been setting up boundaries, not for him but for my own sanity.
Alexander Wood p.m.
Hey you are actually wrong on both because narc's don't have empathy and will drain the absolute shit out of you and some are really good at manipulating, and we can't help psychopaths
It's not easy being a empath. I'm too sensitive I cry at the weirdest things because I understand the deeper meaning of it. I get nervous when I see someone sad or upset, I want to help calm them .. its soo much lol
Yeah it's so overwhelming and the feeling of helplessness it's hard. I am still a teen and I get bullied almost every day for being a wiredo and crying daily it's really hard to explain
Gopika P Iyer instead of crying I staid focused on my greatness I didn’t let anyone call me anything I know I’m not. If your a weirdo then make it your best quality. I’m a weirdo for being a know it all so now it’s my middle name and I do it very well 😀 to the point I’m on my way to becoming a health coach. Good luck to you.
Empaths are nothing else but needy cowards.
They will be nice towards the stronger and louder, yet demanding towards the weaker and polite.
Terrible, absolutely terrible people. It's a good thing that most of them are not ashamed of their behavior and openly brag about it.
@@democratictotalitariansoci1462 what? You just described a narcissistic personality person who may have mirrored that behavior around you or just the people you attracted into your life, maybe your perception of an empath has been tainted by a devil person who deceived you. That I’m sorry you had to endure. Just find your peace and happiness and ignore anything that confuses you from your inner self and peace that you have from the feeling it gives you. Good luck 🙏🏽❤️
Waki you are a narcissist you don’t belong here .. just go away sick of narcissist hurting our kind ..go lie cheat and steal elsewhere
To have a heightened sense of feeling is actually a gift. But you have to learn how to manage the gift. Otherwise it becomes a burden.
Authentic Self Guide a burden it is right now. Any words of wisdom brother
thats the truth. had to seek help twice in past month due to mental overload.

❤
So true
I think one trait is a strong intuition and the ability to detect hidden truths/agendas.
Omg so true
100%!!
That is me. I’m not necessarily an emotionally sensitive person but I can read people’s emotions well and I like to put myself in the other persons shoes.
Trust your instincts, they are usually right. As you know.
Always trust your gut
I always wondered why I was so drained from just being in a room full of people with different emotions. I can see a person and know how they are feeling some wonder how I know!
Yes! Family gatherings omg I end up in a back room alone! Get too overwhelmed
yeah i like get so drained i'm just pretending to vibe with everyone
just wear some damn earplugs.
So get a shield, like "Batman"
Most people can it's not special
Now I understand why my family was always telling me, "you're too sensitive", "stop over-reacting", "just ignore him". I was punished for reacting and defending myself. I learned to ignore my true feelings & intuition and almost drank myself to death. Now I understand CORE issues that held me prisoner for years. Awareness, be still, patient and loving myself is such a gift. Life is good today.
I relate to your story sounds so familiar .✌
Good to hear life is good for you!
Know exactly how you feel. ..
Keep on living. There's peace in each color of a "Rainbow"
Wait a minute. Did I write this?🤣
I’m empathetic and it’s hard to deal with walking in a room and feeling the atmosphere
Omg you read my mind.
@@underestimatedsmilin2429 You got jokes, lol.
The worse! I will walk out and say to people “nah, the energy in there is all wrong”
💯
Yep
I agree with some of this ! Not all of it- However, I do not want anymore toxic people in my life ! I have had enough !
Jen Gable i agree!
Haven't we all ! Lol ....learn to draw boundary lines so that others don't have the ability to make u sad or happy...u do ! U control your own emotions... recognize your weaknesses and strengthen them... negative energy sucks at your soul so turn it around...make yourself happy learn what makes u happy and avoid what hurts u...if u r an empath u will know the ones who want to use u or hurt u.... empathy is a gift that can be used for good but only if you don't allow the negatives in....unless u have the power to fix it which very few do.
Jen Gable amen

Ok
I tend to take on other people's issues as if their my own and become too involved.
I am learning to just listen to ones issues and move on, let them handle it.
I was like that in highschool but I’ve learned so much and now I handle peoples issues better so they aren’t dependent on me and I am not draining myself😅. It gets better
It's harder the older I get. I'm a suicide attempt survivor and I saved three people from killing themselves nine years after my second and latest attempt in 2012. One woman tried to jump from a bridge after her best friend fatally jumped from it and I was the only one who managed to talk her out of it. We cried, we hugged and she made it home. Two years ago, I had an omen that a coworker was depressed and manic. Ten days after, I saved her from jumping off six stories and whilst everyone thanked me, I broke down so bad that I collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. I took hits to protect others at the expense of my life. I'm the friend who will wipe your tears until toi feel safe. I'm the person who will console someone grieving. I'm the person in the subway who will give you a tissue if I see you crying. I will a buy a full-course meal to an homeless man. I will help a friend pay their rent and be the first to talk to them for hours if something ever happens to them. They will confide in me ans cast their inner secrets on me. I will cry with them and help. I will rush to anyone's defense in the face of danger even if I have to get injured or killed. I'm always someone's helper. It gives me comfort to help but sometimes, it's draining and I often cry because of it. I feel despondent. But happy to bring a smile on their face. The weight of the world is often on my back because I try to protect and help everyone around me and see beyond their eyes. I feel others' sorrow and joy and it's like I CAN'T prevent myself from taking up for others from friends, family members to strangers. I'm very loyal and keep an open heart even though I have a tough, blunt and aloof nature. And all of those who've ever known me or still know me today told me that my heart is my biggest asset and it makes me one of a kind. But I'm a bear with argile feet. However, I'll always come for everyone in need because this is the core of who I am and maybe that's my purpose. However, I also need to not forego myself for the sake of others. It's so difficult because I carry a lot on my shoulders. Maybe I'm only human but doing something is what humans should do. Maybe being an empath is my fate.
Good decision. "Listen, help, but when they leave, they take there "Problem" home with them.
I offer help, but sometimes people say 'no', so I'd rather not insist. Just let them know I'll be there if they need help. It's their choice.
Sounds really good
I’m not that kind of person to laugh at someone who falls down in front of everyone I can literally feel their humiliation
I feel too much 2nd hand embarrassment
yup same. like i immediately put myself in another person's shoes and feel what they feel
WOW😳😳 👏👏👏
Right.
Literally had multiple conversations with people who don't get this. Everyone else will laugh at the person as I rush to see if they r ok
I'm an emapth and I cut off my dysfunctional family and narcissistic mother, set boundries, don't let narcissistic people or toxic people take advantage of you! Empaths Rock! ❤❤
I'm currently in the process of doing the same
@@davidflores6922 You will not regret it, my narcissistic mother was the one causing me so much chaos in my life and making me ill, I had no other choice but to go no contact and it is the best thing I ever did, have faith all will go well for you, many blessings to you and a hug. 🤗🙏
@@glendaruiz2477 Thanks. To you too.
@Marilyn M Thank you. 🌹
@Marilyn M Once I found out about narcissistic parents in 2016, I immediately knew what my narcissistic mother was doing to me for years, I started going to therapy even before I found out about narcissism, went through the different stages of anger, grieving and last one accepting I no longer will have a loving caring mother, nothing is impossible when you have faith and trust Jehovah God, I have been blessed and am so glad I cut her out of my life completely as she was the one making me sick, putting my oldest daughter against me and everyone else, it was a constant chaos in my life and it was all because of my narcissistic mother creating all this harm towards me for no reason, once I went no contact everything stopped no more chaos or gaslighting, manipulating, controlling me, and I started to feel much better, it was the best decision I've ever made, if I would of continue allowing her in my life and her enablers/flyingmonkeys I would end up dead!! No contact forever!
I'm an empath and I'm married to an empath. Who said married life can't be bliss? It truly is for us❤️
Amen 🙏 I pray for the same for me because am an Empathetic boy.
Good for you! I hope to have the same dynamic some day. Good to know its possible to find another empath
I am so happy you have found someone who is in tune with their inner self. It must be such a beautiful thing, I can only dream of having something similar one day. Congratulations.
Yes ❤🎉hope
I’ve know i was an empath since i was a kid. I could feel how other people felt since i was able to understand. You can feel the great feelings and the hurtful. It’s a lonely world being an empath.
You said it 👏 👏👏👏👏
Don you ain’t wrong buddy, the world is a very lonely place being a empath, you say you’ve known that you were a empath, since you were a kid, believe it or not Don, I don’t know how old you are mate but, I’m 59 years old now buddy, and I’ve been spiritual since I was a kid, or that’s what I’ve been putting it down to, I’ve only ever seen one full spirit, who turned out to be my grandfather who was sitting on the bottom of my bed. I was about 9 years old at the time, I woke up in the night, and sitting on the bottom of my bed was a old man that, I’d never seen before, he was as solid as a human being, there was no light or glow around him at all, he was sitting there and our eyes actually met, I smiled at him and I turned over and went back to sleep, I told my dad in the morning and he said describe him Steve, so I did and he instantly said that is grandfather and he passed away when I 2 or 3 years old, after that I have heard spirits like they are talking to me, plus it’s like someone will say a sentence in my head that I can’t hear out loud just in my mind for example, Steve Deena is pregnant, now Deena is my daughter and at the time she had only just turned 17 years old by a couple of days, so for two weeks I paced my bungalow saying she can’t be she can’t be, two weeks later my ex wife called me and said Steve your gonna be a granddad, unbelievable that was, but all throughout my life it’s happened, I grew up thinking that I didn’t belong anywhere, I have always felt like I’ve been persecuted, I can walk into a building usually a old building with a lot of history to it and I would feel the vibes instantly, I’ve been in places that have made me stop in my tracks and think, what the fuck. About two and a half years ago, I came across a word that I’d never heard before, and believe it or not Don, that word was empath mate, and I found purely by accident, I was looking up another word and I came across the word empath, I thought what’s this all about, it was like I was meant to find it if that makes sense to you Don, but that’s what happens in my life I find or do things like I meant to, but anyway Don I read up on it and, for the very first time in my life, it all started to make sense. I don’t know why I found out I was a empath later in my life that’s if I am one, I have no idea whatsoever, all I know is that I did a survey, I think it was about 35 questions and I answered every one of those questions honestly, I thought if I didn’t I’d only be cheating myself, and I answered yes too every one of those questions bar one question, I kept thinking hang on a minute I’m answering a lot of these right ain’t I, I wonder sort of thing, and when I started reading up about a empath like I said it all started to make sense, I just wish I’d known a lot earlier really like you knew Don, I was 57 years old when I found out buddy and I’m 59 now, it’s a little bit to late for me to start trying to make sense of it all now Don I think. I know exactly where your coming from though mate and picking up other peoples emotions isn’t that nice either at times, and I’ve always thought I am a expert at reading peoples faces, and now I know why, because I can tell straight away, when somebody is lying to me and it’s like I can see every nerve in the face for some reason mate. I really hope that you can make sense out of what I’ve put in my comment Don, I just thought I’d share it with you mate that’s all because it must’ve been really hard on you knowing that when you were a kid, I’m think I’m quite lucky that I didn’t know it when I was a kid mate, is it normal to find out has a child or is it normal to find out later in life it’s a question that I’d like to know the answer to really but take care of yourself Don mate I really do wish you well buddy from Stevie boy in Britain
It is exhausting being an empath. Everyone expects so much of you because you have always given so much. I have also found over the years that this comes with very little gratitude. When you do finally set boundaries, it is met with anger because people have come to expect you to always say yes. During the pandemic I was in absolute heaven. I loved the days upon days in forced isolation with just my husband and grown children.. When I would express this to others they literally thought I was insane. I loved the missed holidays and not having to go into the office. I didn't understand it until I finally realized at the age of 55 that I was an empath. It's exhausting soaking up everyone's pain. Worrying about everyone you love to the point of insanity. Your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings on and on and on. I've said to my husband several times over the years that I don't understand why people fight death. It sounds blissful to me. I'm not suicidal but I have found life to be exhausting at times. It's joyful for sure, and full of beauty but incredibly painful a lot of the time. I never understood why ,until recently, that I am never truly happy if a single person in my small universe is unhappy. And I hate that my feelings are hurt so easily...An irritated look, a certain tone of voice, an unanswered text... Things other people wouldn't even notice or shrug off with ease hurts me to a ridiculous degree. Like I said, it's exhausting being an empath.

@@mrfugazi6713 I think you're something else, Mr. Fugazi, aparte from an empath, I think you have a gift from Yahweh (the name of God), you should research about the different kind of spiritual gifts He gives us, so you find yours and make sense of it, no matter the age, you deserve to know your purpose and meaning, even more when it's so within reach. I send you thousands of blessings and love for you, people like us need it, it is our source of life, God made us like that.
I think he failed to mention that empaths can be prone to addictions as well in this sad world where most people are NOT empaths.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON Hey there fellow empath. I am like you. When I was 16 I was going to kill myself but was saved. I saw all the pain and sadness in the world, my parents were divorce. I was getting abused by my dad and he was always telling me why are you so sensitive (I'm a man btw, which makes it even more rough in our society for guys). I survived my suicide, and years later I learn to remove all the negative energies and people and to go after my dreams and all the positive energies. At 25 years old I realized all my dream I put on my list, because I literally had nothing to loose since I was suppose to be dead. I can't watch the news, horror movies or anything that makes my soul sad. When I see documentary on wars, massacres, etc. I get sad for days. I realized I am by myself, but then I decide that I will do my best that one day I will be a beacon of light for all those people who suffers. I am working on it. This dark world needs us. When one empath succeed, we all succeed with. You know the singer Sia? She's an empath who succeed and now is spreading her message of hope. I salute you and give you a virtual hug. I know the pain.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON Yes. With the abuse it's important to remember that it's easy to blame yourself for feeling like a coward and not sticking up for yourself, but none of that is true. Empaths are simply kind and compassionate people, and not understanding of people who aren't, and of how to deal with those situations with people who are not nice, unkind, and pretty much alien personalities. You are actually much more confused than terrified in hostile situations, and completely unsure of how to respond because you would never do that kind of thing to someone else.
@@Angell_Lee Hi! Yes there are definitely things I've come to avoid as well. The news, politics of any kind. Because politics is well...Hate, and hatred is a useless emotion and only harmful to us. Facebook is another. I don't comment much on youtube, just in topics such as this and how to videos. There are a lot of hateful channels out there, and it's best not to get caught up in all the mean drama from the hate filled keyboard warriors. I as well can never watch war movies and haven't seen one in 18 years since Windtalkers which gave me nightmares for a long time after. Good comedies are hard to come by, so I can handle some drama in the meantime lol.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON i know how it is to be used and taken advantage of over and over again living with my alcoholic mom and dad that was always neutral. After many years of feeling like its just all my fault and starting to convince myself that I'm never going to get loved and appreciated no matter what I showed and proofed about my kindness and love and loyalty to my friends and many others. I went suicidal after getting dragged down many times allowing people to make me feel useless and stupid and locked myself in my own neighborhood for 3 years. then i started seeing my worth and that just most people won't appreciate me no matter what id do since im different and I had thought since I was little about what led to a situation what could be done and how it could have been prevented and how our surroundings have an effect and all that. I'm not going to take to long since I have that tendency to ramble on :P. im going to tell you that I just found out about this video and the word and meaning of an empath today. im from Iceland and I have always wanted to help others over and over again and almost ever meditated on my self but got myself into yoga and have always been outgoing and i really feel for you and what your saying and no your not alone in this we may be few and special of course :D but im also fighting my demons and have gone a quite a long way and i can be proud of myself even though i feel this fight will never end and its probably going to go on all my life in a way but keep to your feelings and stay true and honest with yourself no matter what!
sorry for my grammar im, not the best hehehe but i know its at least understandable in some way :P
my last words to you and what I've believed in for long that helped me, in the end, is to look into your past and see the light through all the putrid darkness and come to terms with it so you can find peace in your past!, so you can make honest and truthful actions today so you can have a bright and happy meaningful future
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON I think I'm right there with you.
i literally cried watching this.. those who know KNOW.
Dog's can also find an empath easily and they can sense it when they feel safe around you
Yea I've had stray dogs and cats follow me breaks my heart i wish i could help them
Yes! My fur baby is my best friend.only friend .✌
I cry for the pets around that are so neglected n chained up.
I think being an empath makes it easier for us to understand animals and connect with them.
Yup...
I am an empathic soul, God knows I don't get attracted to toxic people, toxic people rather pursues empathic souls simply to take advantage for psychotic pleasures . My experience taught me, that. Thanks
Because you're a coward who is afraid to say "no"
@Steve Smith I get you when you say you feel bad for the nice souls who are get used and dumped by the maniacs : narcist, psychopath, sociopath and the rest of parasitic energy vampires. If you feel for the empathic souls so much so that you are driven to revenge on their behalf. You can set up a platform where you can provide links and support and provide safety measures on ways you can keep them away from dangers I believe that is a better way to help the empathic souls or better still you can get involved in the police force to protect the empathetic souls from constantly getting abused. I like your passion to help people from being unjustly exploited. I will like to know more of you,if you don't mind. Take Care

@@analmichelle2315 love is loyalty, you don’t love him, your obsessed with him and you’ll never be happy. You have to let go of cheating people and find people of value.
All you done is force him to stay with you by magical spell. If he’s strong he’ll hate you in the end and if he’s weak he’ll become obsessed with you, even when you tired of him which you’ll become one day it will turn into a nightmare. Don’t play around with this stuff, fate shouldn’t be twisted around your advantage, if you force something to happen you usually get a broken product at the end.
The only thing I’ll say is I’m a high functioning sociopath. I’m not a psychopath because they are born that way. I was forged in childhood by my mum, dad and medical conditions.
I don’t deal with people emotionally very well. I’ve leant that words have to be careful used when around emotional people as there’s always an overreaction.
The only thing I feel is extreme anxiety, hatred, frustration and anger all day long. I hate my existence but I’m here, to coward to take my life. I don’t understand people, I never really was given the emotional stuff by my parents as a kid. I was told ungrateful and so on. I’m just going on lol, nobody will read this.
empaths have to learn how to turn it off so they care for themselves.
Lisa Bremer maybe just turn In . Let go of EEPS (everybody else’s problems) I’m working on myself this year as 2021 is all about change as if this year ain’t enough. Enjoy your ride. 😁☮️❤️🙏🏻
Oh definitely! Thank you for this❤︎
I am finally putting me first; no one else is gonna do it for me, nor should they.
I only care for myself. I know how everyone else is feeling but I don’t give a fuck.
I’m working on that right now
I have to learn this myself. I’m always told I wear my heart on my sleeve and I care too deeply and not to get so involved all the time to keep my self out of other’s problems and situations but I never listen and usually end up for it. I’m trying to learn to turn this off starting at my job and not being such “friends” with everyone. I guess I’m turning things around because now I’m being asked to take on more responsibilities and actually was asked to move up. I’m trying so hard and praying I don’t make a misstep and mess it all up.
wow ive always felt so alone and weird here i am learning im not insane
True
Most of us empath' s feel like we don't fit in and no one can possibly understand us. This is a common trait for us and our personality type. Good news is your not alone and there are others that relate to what your feeling and thinking. We empath s tend to speak a different language than other's. Have you ever talked to family or friends about what your feeling or seeing before it happens and they give you that look? You know that look of WTF are you talking about or saying? Lol. Then we catch ourselves and think it sounded good in my head it now sounds crazy when I verbally express it. Lol. Yeah that experience and many other's tend to sound like a foreign language to most but it makes sense to us. I'm blessed with an extended family and friend's that don't give me a hard time or the look when I'm feeling something or someone and express those emotions verbally. Well my mother in law gives me the "huh" look I then explain in my native foreign empath language and she either gets it or she doesn't but no judgement from her either way. It's nice to be able to be myself and feel safe around the people I love. It also helps that my husband and nephew are also empaths. Three introverted empaths in my household and one extroverted mother-in-law that has to have attention a minimal of at least 20 time's a day to recharge her batteries while us three introverts are in different area's contently enjoying our solitude and projects. We know where the other is of we need something but for the most part we're groovy being on our own. This drive's the extrovert crazy. Lol. She just doesn't get how we can go a whole day without talking to one another or anyone else for that matter and be okay. We cut her a break from time to time and visit with her so she feels special. Lol. I think you know where I'm going with this. We are what we are and that's a blessing not a curse. If you have time go check out the you tube channel Empath Uprising. We have a tribe of like minded empaths such as yourself that know exactly how you feel and what your going through. It's a little unconventional but great none the less. It's been a great support system to myself and I thought I would share so you can meet some like-minded people who get and understand you. Take care and try to cut yourself some slack. Your only human.
@@divergence_tiffanyramos4337 The trouble is, there aren't too many of us around in my experience.
@@MM0SDK : You'd be surprised at how many of us there are. It's not large overabundant numbers but it's not a small ratio either. It also depends on how isolated you are from the outside world and where your located. We prefer our solitude and locations closer to nature. Urban life tends to wear us out. We're surrounded by to much energy in cities and that affects us on a daily basis. We need the quite alone time to recharge our batteries or we're useless to everyone and ourselves. Surely you've got like-minded people like yourself somewhere around you. Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe I can help offer some suggestions so you can connect with your brother's and sister's.
Nope, you're not alone
Empaths can’t control their emotions, so you gotta suffer until you can find the control, it’s extremely stressful.
Then how do you control, when you've found the control?
@@bull9614 it can be done! I hv mastered controlling my emotions. It wasn't easy and it is an ongoing process bc it's easy to let your emotions take over. But it is so worth it! Bc it is so gratifying being the one with a cool head in a situation when someone else is losing control bc they are angry with you. Lol! In the end, it also helps the one losing control and they come back to their senses faster. Plus, at that point, they know that u are not a pushover nor easily intimidated! 😉
@@69melgar thank you for your response. Although I want to know how it's done, can you recommend any techniques as I tend to let my feelings take over at rare occasions
Everyday is a holiday....lol not a walk in the park
How do you learn to control it?
You forgot the most important one, they feel the pain they cause on to others even if the pain they caused was justified
That’s the worst part for me.
It's easier to not date, than to have to say no to a second date! Hate to cause any pain at all.
@@lisamh9037 true
I am empath. After short connection I read people's mind clearly like it was written on their forehead. I can easily make others happy or touch their hearts by only a few words. But I've learned never abuse my ability, choose someone who deserve the sunshine, and cut those pure negative ones out of my life, because they can't be saved.
Reason why being an empath at 57, I am looking for am empath man for a good relationship. I am fed up attracting narcissist.
I feel the same. I'm a suicide attempt survivor and I saved three people from killing themselves nine years after my second and latest attempt in 2012. One woman tried to jump from a bridge after her best friend fatally jumped from it and I was the only one who managed to talk her out of it. We cried, we hugged and she made it home. Two years ago, I had an omen that a coworker was depressed and manic. Ten days after, I saved her from jumping off six stories and whilst everyone thanked me, I broke down so bad that I collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. I took hits to protect others at the expense of my life. I'm the friend who will wipe your tears until toi feel safe. I'm the person who will console someone grieving. I'm the person in the subway who will give you a tissue if I see you crying. I will a buy a full-course meal to an homeless man. I will help a friend pay their rent and be the first to talk to them for hours if something ever happens to them. They will confide in me anf cast their inner secrets on me. I will cry with them and help. I will rush to anyone's defense in the face of danger even if I have to get injured or killed. I'm always someone's helper. It gives me comfort to help but sometimes, it's draining and I often cry because of it. I feel despondent. But happy to bring a smile on their face. The weight of the world is often on my back because I try to protect and help everyone around me and see beyond their eyes. I feel others' sorrow and joy and it's like I CAN'T prevent myself from taking up for others from friends, family members to strangers. I'm very loyal and keep an open heart even though I have a tough, blunt and aloof nature. And all of those who've ever known me or still know me today told me that my heart is my biggest asset and it makes me one of a kind. But I'm a bear with argile feet. However, I'll always come for everyone in need because this is the core of who I am and maybe that's my purpose. However, I also need to not forego myself for the sake of others. It's so difficult because I carry a lot on my shoulders. Maybe I'm only human but doing something is what humans should do. Maybe being an empath is my fate. Maybe it's my responsible for those I care about and maybe it's my sacrifice.
I don’t wanna sound narcissistic but I do check all 13 signs, one after another. It’s a blessing and a curse! I don’t hang out with fake people, it’s painfully sad and I can’t be myself around narcissistic people also. I’m constantly walking on eggshells when I’m working with a toxic person. Life is exhausting but I love it so much! 😅
me too, i cant be myself around narcissists as I cant connect with them internally and somehow get carried away by them.. what could we do to solve this?
Same here dear

@@rejectwokeness1314 Is this supposed to be a positive post?
@@TamaraGarrettAlpha no it isn't
The struggle is real. I never realized how empathetic I was until i was in my late forties. It made sense why, as a kid, I was the way I was. Also, coming from a difficult home made everything so confusing. Being highly empathetic makes life hard for me. I'm so bothered by little things, and I tend to complain alot about them. Also, I rarely feel comfortable in my own skin unless I'm alone. I hate watching really violent things, especially cruelty to animals and children. I have a hard time listening to child abuse crime stories. I try to avoid those.
I don’t watch kill people tv.
I watch the shows that the criminals ALWAYS get caught and pay for the crime.
As a empath you must understand that some people you just can't fix, you know who they are that's a gift we have and understand and listen to your intuition.take care my brother's and sister's and be blessed.
I knew I was an Empath but I only related it to being a loving, caring person. Just recently I learned by not setting any "Boundaries" I was actually getting sick
i've always wondered what was going on with me. i thought maybe i had mental issues and needed therapy. i blamed all of this on being a libra but no. it is so much deeper. this just solved my mystery. here i am 30 years old and just figuring a little bit more about myself ❤️
Same sis!
Me too!
I'm a Libra too, 57 & just figuring it out. You'll be much better prepared. Don't get sucked in. Try to be cautious, trust your gut & don't try & save the world xxx
We don't quite brag, real empaths don't quite brag, but some things happened so I was pushed to come forward.
SPOT ONNNN!!!! Omg! I'm Sending LOVE & LIGHT to all!!!!
Thank you.
After 50 years of life I’ve finally realized that I’m an empath and that explains so much. Now I have to go back and analyze all my past relationships and see it from a different vantage point.
I spend 24/7 empathizing, it’s exhausting. Especially right now
I just realise now that i have been an empaths my whole entire life. Thanks a lot, this vid helped me a lot 👍🏾.
I'm 32 yrs olds and just truly coming to an understanding of why I operate the way that I do.......... aaaaaand wow!!!!!
It's crazy that this video is exactly 11:11... One of my numbers I see constantly 😚❤️
11:11 is said to have a certain meaning.
What does it mean?? I always see this 11:11
@@rehabkhan3015 11:11 is a universal number which is actually connected to the universe it's also related to our subconscious mind & also in spiritual level u can manifest but your vibes and desire should be good enough to attract what you need for different peoples it acts differently sometimes when I felt low or something or confused it actually helped me to bring my Positivity back but on the other hand when I had doubts or unconsciously I wished when I was not comfortable it my day went like a roller coaster
haha, mine is 11:24.
Yes omg!! It's old video, but I'm just knowing seeing it. But yes 11:11, it was 2:18=11 when viewed by myself and been seeing 1111. 11. 1. 222. 22. For about 3 weeks straight on car tags, clocks etc. And my energy is discombobulated. Off course I'm research why.. ♋🙏🤷🏾♀️🙂🙏
It can be hard at times. Self care is important. Spiritual practices are important to help release those emotions and energies. Also help you get in touch with your true essence and remember who you are! Exercise also helps get you grounded and release! Dancing! Nature! Also getting grounded by spending time with trees and water. Breathing exercises. Feeling other energies and emotions can be a beautiful gift if you can find a balance and it can help so many people heal. You are enough! You are love! ❤️❤️
Sucks when you care so much you wish you could turn into God just to help the person become better and help in a positive way. But of course we are not God but we are Duaghter and Sons of the Most High God. I try to be the light in a dark place for people and speak words of encouragement and positivity for mostly all the people that may be going through something and at time lend a helping hand. It can leave you feeling drain when you dwell on another person wellbeing in situations that you can't help but wish like heaven that you could help.
@PeRFeCT IMPeRFeCTiON why aren't you a daughter of GOD?
You sound exactly like me. I also wish I can take people's problems on and make them disappear, but alas like you say only God is capable of that. I so wish that I can help all the orphans and old people and the mentally challenged ones. 💗
@@julietmatthew9689 Because she knows who she is, keep searching for the truth. We have been taught to give our powers to a higher being and this is what has caused our world to suffer. We as women have the powers to build it up or to tear it down🤔. Sisters wake up and learn who you are, our children are suffering because we have been put to sleep. Stop giving others control of our minds. Shalom ♥️
Sometimes people start to leech on you.
I thought I was anti-social but realized that I am empathic. I get so stressed being in a crowded area with people it drives me crazy. I value alone time so much it is heaven to me. I have people open up to me about their personal business without even asking. You become a magnet for many people in pain. You become a beacon of light, and if you do not find a way to deflect it, you will be miserable.
I love this💛
What u just described could also be autism.
@@gratis6734 I am not autistic! Just because I hate being around crowds doesn't make me autistic. Just because one can pick up vibes from individuals do not make someone having a mental disorder.
@@janake7 Im not convinced.
All of these are so true. I definitely need my solitude. Even my children will say, dad needs time before he makes a decision. Being an empath is so draining but it also has its good points. At times you feel as though you are trying to help everyone.

I'm so tired!! It's mostly all a show, fake, predictable, sickening, what's wrong with everyone, them, me, just so tired of it all
@@kennyq8675depression sucks
This is the best summary of an empath I've found on the net!! Thank you!Particularly, it explains the paradox that has always puzzled me.. why, with so much empathy, love and willingness to connect to people, are empath often alone? You explain it perfectly, the empath often see through people's lies and pretentions, sees their real feelings and needs. They want to help but people want to cover up. So there is always conflict, and you have to cover up too, or you will embarass them. It's all too hard, so you pull away and end up alone. Animals are great friends an empath, they rarely have these complications.
I wish I had all this guidance growing up !! All along I stayed on my own feeling there's something wrong with me. I had to figure it all out on my own, how to control myself and put boundaries. And yes unfortunately we are magnet to narcissist !! Yet I feel blessed and happier than the average person. I pick and choose carefully when , who, or where I will spent my time !! Hope this video helps other Empath understand themselves !! It was not easy alone. Thank you ! Great video !✌✌
Empathy is a curse.. 😢 exhausting and depressing
YES!!!!!!!!
It is a gift in time you will understand you have to set boundaries and realize when to walk away you cannot help everyone especially those
who refuse to try and help themselves you are No 1 remember that or you
never succeed as an Empath sometimes you just have to say NO for your
own sanity trust me ☺👜🐱⛪♒
Yep, being little cowardly bitch is exhausting
I see it as a good thing, empathy is what this world needs. Of course it can be really tough on you but still I think it's a gift. Learn to use it!
Oh God ! So true !
Being an empath and knowing for years but tried to block it. .. the more you understand about your gift the better and easier it will to be able to receive others and not be so affected. Learning how to shield yourself is all that will help once you do that you will truly see the beauty in it
Exactly dear we now know those that we deserve to be in their lives
I can absorb and reflect other people's moods but I can never really "set" the mood basing on what I actually feel. It feels so lonely sometimes
Samee
Same here dear
This is yet another simple and EXTRAORDINARY video full of take aways.
Two things I learned in my life are:
1. I never regretted to have given, most likely because giving in itself is a HUGE source of pleasure/rewards.
2. Having studied my past experiences, I can probably say that it is TOXIC people who remain and undermine emphats after meeting them; not the other way round. If emphats remain with toxic people for long time regardless, then most likely they are Co-dependent. And it is this personality disorder of Co-dependency that needs to be fixed not EMPHATY.
We desperately need many, many, many more emphats in the World.
yeah I agree with you codependency and empathy are not the same
Yep. And it’s the insecurity that creates the co-dependency.
Me, me, me, all me. I wish I could give this “gift” of being an empath back. I find myself always attracting people who are highly toxic and they seem to discover that I’m a great doormat and they can use me as a punching bag at their discretion. After they hurt me to where I wonder if death would be a better option for me, I begin finding myself feeling bad for these toxic people, and I go right back for another emotional beating. The anxiety, depression and self-destruction is real and unfortunately, my brain forces me to carry others problems for them. It’s absolutely exhausting.
It's a cycle..
AmberPops The sensitivity of being an empath is draining, that others cannot understand. I just wonder when someone will take care of me.
Me.
Boundaries Amber!!!! Us beautiful Empaths have to have them!!!!!❤️
This is just emotional abuse. You might feel sympathy for them. You must create boundaries.
I am an empath but I don’t brag it’s a gift and a curse at the same time.
you just did
@@eddiepuhi8766 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am an empath and now I can't watch news because whenever I hear bad things happening to people I cry for them and become sad for days. I literally don't watch TV. Caring has led me to feel tired
I can't watch someone cry. It makes me cry everytime. Literally anyone crying breaks me. Very quickly too.

@@virginiafonacier8795 all people deserve their partners. just sayin'
Sometimes I think my life would have been better if I wasn't an empath.
U don’t have a choice
In another lifetime u where a narcissit
Guys, it is not as beautiful as it seems. I often forget about myself to help others. Almost always.
I spend most of my time alone. It saves my energy. I get enough at work and then isolate.
Just pray for people and keep it moving. That way you won't get caught up in the hurt the games and the abuse nor the lies that a lot of people do. I use to try to help everyone but now I just try to help myself.
Strange stuff Andrew?... I'm at that very moment of the comeback from all that nasty stuff.... It took 6yrs to just understand wtf happened and sort it out... You're concise and hit it on the button.. Happy healing man🙏🏽
So I'm an empath and fully agree with the content of this video. Although, the sensitivity often extends to the physical being also. As I and many others, I'm sure, are affected by things such as coffee, alcohol, drugs. It's as though it all has to do with a sensitive nervous system.
Also, to everyone who are calling themselves an empath, ask yourself if you ever saw it as a curse rather than a blessing. I say this because many narcissistic people call themselves empaths. It's such a strange phenomena and sometimes that's why we are so attracted to narcissistic types. We usually only find out too late.
I agree as well.
@@Nicolettethegreat it's nice to see it put into words and it has been mostly pain for me so far...
this makes so much sense!!! could you elaborate? i always thought i couldn’t handle caffeine, alcohol & marijuana because of my anxiety. i had no clue it could have been because of this!!!
i still drink and smoke but it’s just like i feel entirely too much. someone please tell me im not crazy 🤣
Gemini empath here, talk about being emotionally exhausted being attracted to toxic people and self medicating to quiet my mind. But there are benefits, I can talk to people on a very deep level, people know they can trust me
First time I read that someone is empath and Gemini. ..
You’re so dead on as a Gemini & an empath...certainly the self medicating bc im so emotionally exhausted by nearly everyone in my life
@@klara1493 why geminis appreciate being alone so much...same time social butterflies but need time to themself to recharge
Im a gemini as well as an empath.
@@toddlagerholm2304 because trying to be around other people is draining... we enjoy time alone where we are most comfortable in our own energy fields to recharge and to clear our minds, think about our own life instead of trying to fit in and absorb and filter different energy... we don't just communicate verbally, we can sense energy and see how a person reacts with body movements as well as eye contact.. that's how we gather information on how we react in certain environments.. trust me that is extremely stressful...
Sometimes when I watch a movie that is sad, I cry. I used to get overwhelmed by soaking up everyone's energy and would have to leave the room for a few minutes. I have learned how to block certain energy out. I am more at ease after learning this skill.
Omg! Thede traits describe me perfectly
Interesting too, because my mom has some narcissistic attributes and I turned out to be auite empathic. Funny how that happens. Seems the children of narcissistic parents go one of 2 ways(in most cases). They either become narcissistic themselves or they go the opposite route and become more empathic. I much prefer the label, Empath to Overly sensitive or codependent. I mean for me, I feel like a level headed, emotionally healthy person. I just experience life so much through my emotions and my heart. I do see empathy as both a gift and a curse. Thank you for posting this video
Being empathic is more than just putting yourself in people's shoes it's the ability to feel people's pain and distress and want to fix it, and many times you can't with leave the empathic person feeling worthless great huh fun
Because if you could fix it, you'd stop feeling worthless?
Things outside my control, I'm not responsible for. Toxic sympathy was a tough one for me to grapple with. When I started to pay more attention to my feelings, and the inputs that triggered them. I started to see things about myself, things that were blind spots.
@@apostatejim2080 someone who is truly empathic feels other people's pain and the ability not to fix it there for the pain gets transferred onto them . It's not about fixing it to feel worthwhile.. it's about seeing someone hurt and not being able to do anything about it, and then having to sit with that pain with no resolution, watching others suffering, not being able to help while having their pain and my distress.
Sometimes it is draining, because others won't take you seriously and still do what they want. And you have given all your efforts to them and they throw your words away.
Once when one of my classmate's mothers died. I cried 3 times that day because I kind of shared empathy for him in a way. I talked to a teacher he works with about it and when she told me "there is nothing you can do to fix it" I froze. That is the sentence that still haunts me because it makes me feel worthless and I really want to fix everyone so they don't end up depressed with anxiety like me (yes I have been professionally diagnosed). I feel like being a true empath is a curse for you but a blessing to everyone around you.
That sounds like codependent personality disorder
This makes so much sense to me! I now realize that I am an empath. I understand those qualities mentioned because all of them resonate deeply with me.
I don’t like bragging about my empathic ability, I’ve often felt it as a curse where I wish I didn’t feel so deeply. I’m also learning my INFJ personality type, and I do agree all of us have the ability to feel empathy but I definitely do just feel. I’m finding that becoming more mindful and caring for myself is helping. I definitely can mirror emotions. When my Mum gets anxious or upset cause something’s not the way she wants it, or is taking too long, I definitely become the same way. But again I’ve been trying to be more mindful, to recognize I do this, so when she’s upset I can realize ok how can I respond more positively? Or if she’s sarcastic cause she’s upset if I respond in kind I getting better at realizing it and I apologize. When I do that it makes her step back too, it somehow calms her? And we get on a better ground. This video is really good. Thank you 🙏 ...
It's a tough situation for dating as I've ruined female friendships by getting feelings and being unable to continue a platonic relationship afterward because of rejection, rumination, and these strong emotions, and also unwilling to "date around" because you are afraid of hurting someone because you know how it makes you feel and you don't want to put them through it. It makes finding a romantic partner quite difficult.
Yep!
Building your own boundaries helps stop you overstepping yourself with feelings as well as stops the toxins from using you. I still try to be kind in dating but learned long ago not to catch feelings too easily. I learned after being married to a narcissist who hurt me so much when I trusted him so deeply. So from then on, it was proceed with caution.
@@joywebster2678I’m with one now for over 8 years. We have 4 children.

I hate the situation I’ve put myself in.
Oh dear. You are describing me. I always feel like I am sitting on a picket fence because I feel both sides of an issue deeply. People are always wanting me to pick a side of a situation
I think I am an empath cuz 9 of those apply to me and I feel like empathetic people can get taken advantage of.
Yes,same here.

@@requin8840 probably you're mistype or you didn't realize that you're an empath

Being an empath is not even a good thing it's awful so I'm not sure why all the Millennials want to call themselves and pass it comes with a high degree of hurt and sensitivity and responsibilities
Whatever the opposite of empath is what I am. I hear a lot of empaths say stuff like I can see people intentions a mile away but what concrete evidence do they have that this is actually true? Has every person they felt were toxic actually prove themselves to be that way? Also, it seems like people are self diagnosing after watching one very short video.
I agree 100%. It feels like you are wearing a 100-pound yoke around your neck.
@@12012channel do you mean a psychopath/sociopath?

I can't thank you enough for creating such an extraordinarily eye-opening video! I'm feeling so much more understood and validated in a way in my being. Amazing job, guys!
Other than my sister, I haven’t told anyone I’m an empath. People tend to think I’m a loner. I’m just recharging. Although, I do not like crowds. Crowds are overwhelming. I feel everyone’s emotions.
I don't know if this really painted the perfect picture of who I am... I am a lot stronger than some of these statements
Anyone notice the video length is 11:11 ?
I noticed aswell
Empath yes!
@@darlenenelson364 yes !
@theleastone lol, 11:11 is a sign of spiritual awaking
Yes I did..😊
THATS ME🙄 its a gift and a curse!!
I don't have any close friends. I'm not down about it. I like being alone..just not constantly. Much love y'all 💗💗. Healing thoughts and feelings your way 💞🤗
Wow dude wow. I feel like u were talking about me the whole time. Now I understand myself why I am the way I am. Thank you soooooo MUCH!!
Looking through the list I guess there'd be a fairly strong case to call me an empath, though I've never really considered myself one. Interesting nonetheless.
I’m a true empath according to my therapist but I was raised by/with narcissists. All of my siblings are narcissists or have narcissistic tendencies and now, just now, in my mid-30s I’ve finally found help and it’s allowing me to move on and be okay with myself. I’ve been called everything under the sun for setting strong unmovable boundaries but I’ve realized they’ve taken enough. So much more to learn; I love being vulnerable but don’t know how to stop being so susceptible. So I’m long ways away from being “fine” but in the meantime I’m doing okay 👍
This whole thread clarifies so much for me. Through the years i"ve come to organically realize what I must do to care for myself spiritually and mentally. I now embrace this integral part of me and no longer lament this gift. Be blessed, be safe.
yay :) be blessed! :)
Empathy is an emotion, not a personality trait.
yeah very true we all have access to empathy if we choose too use it
I don't know any empaths around me, however I'm grateful for little sympathetic character of some people. I'm feeling lonely even if family is around , but being alone on beach makes me feel peaceful.
This helped me a lot. Empathetic person need to be alert that over the boundary of his own self result him unwanted sufferings.
Soaking up the positive side of empath as negative is all I knew and have known my physical manifestations are changing my dna and my whole nature vs nurture mindset 🙏🏾
How this hit home.. oh my gosh. Yes.I am a 150% emphatat.. I have always been this. What you said is exactly what happened after 32 years of marriage. I lost everything.. I was only 20 years old when I got married. I am still broken and it's been two years. I have panic attack and struggle making friends. I struggle even going out to buy food. I don't have a job. I have to beg for support whilst living with my 84 year old mother that reminds me every single day how my separated husband killed my father. My brother lives in another country and doesn't understand.. He has no idea what happened to his sister. He just dislikes the fact that I am staying with my mother. I can go on and on. Nobody cares and I am trying to fix me ..it's constant. Small steps because big ones causes very bad depression. My, not divorced narcissistic ex husband has moved on. His a man with a roof over his head and a job, a girlfriend with money. I after 32 years and three sons are battling just to be whole and remind myself every single day that I am normal for needing time, support and love.
The internet is amazing. It allows people of the same tribe to connect. 💙
Be proud to be an empath ! I am - no regrets here my friend!
Being an empath it is so great helping others and being there for another, but I feel we as empaths take on such a huge burden emotionally which impacts us psychologically and a domino effect happens. Empaths have a hard time saying no to others and honestly I feel like if I wasn’t an empath maybe I wouldn’t be prone to anxiety bcs I would be able to turn off all that hurt ppl walk around with and it is like a magnet to you. But this is just me, but again I am better off being an empath than a narcissist
When I was young I didn’t know the difference between my emotions and other peoples . I have been a lot happier in life now that I know the difference 🕊🌱🕊
Being a empath person I have learned so many things through my experiences and I have changed my personality completely.People used me for their interest and I have ruined my life in order to make them happy.At that time I was completely lost and even didn't get time for myself.But now I used to spend time with my kids without any fear.
It's not just understanding others' emotions, but feeling them. I can be sound asleep and the vibe wakes me
I think being an empathy and knowing how to manage yourself is a Blessing 🤗💯❤️🙏🙌
As a narcissist I could really go for an empath right now
Lolz on the nark coming to the feeding ground hungry (nodding head smiling).
That explains a lot about my life. Gives me some answers.
I never thought about the term "empath", but my friend said I was one. I would say, after this video, I would agree.
I suddenly found this word today and it has really explained a lot about me. Its a very vulnerable place to be an empath
1. Understanding empathy. 2. Matching your environment. 3. A source of support. 4. Imaginary simulations. 5. Deepening your relationships. 6. Emotional resonance. 7. Meaning in everything. 8.
