An empath

What is an Empath

Do you ever think that you draw people’s sensitivity to yourself, if so; you could well be an empath, but a higher level Empath, whereby you are able without knowing to draw people’s energy towards yourself as if you are a magnet.  Who of you out there have experienced this?

---

As an individual do you at times tend to feel people emotionally around you? With this in mind would you describe yourself as a sensitive person?

When being over sensitive you have to learn how to harness it and direct it and most of all understand it. 

There are points in your life when being around people; you start to pick up people’s feelings and furthermore, you sense people’s feelings around you. And No, you’re not going crazy, it’s actually what you are feeling and those feelings are correct. 

Remember it’s what you’re feeling, not your thoughts, and as you know someone’s thoughts can betray them, consider that.

Questions that may require Answers –

Let’s see if we can give you those answers –

• Are you overly sensitive?
• Are you able to sense when people are lying to you?
• Are you hypersensitive?
• Do you like or require your own time to reflect?
• Do you feel like you sense other people’s emotions?

If the answer to some of these or all these questions is yes, you might well come under the spectrum of an empath…Know this….there are multiple levels under the scope of an empath, you do not know what level you are.

An understanding of an empath

As an individual that starts to feel more, you must understand that your thoughts can be misleading, and betray you, but as highlighted previously your feelings do not. 

But with this in mind there is also a caveat, your heart’s feelings can also be misleading. Now, this is a test, the understanding between the two, the heart of your thoughts and your feelings of your thoughts.

Through searching your mind you will come to understand yourself and the differences.

No one will be able to give you the answers, but yourself.

Like most things in the world, lots of people can relate, but no one can tell you what you feel, and that is key to your strength, your strength is your inner strength.

Do you Consider that it’s hard not to care

One of the many things empaths find hard to cope with is not showing empathy for another without thinking twice about it.

Furthermore, with an empathic sense of nature, we are drawn to care for others even if it overshadows the care for ourselves, even though we probably end up absorbing other people’s struggles and negative energy.

Do you find it hard to fit in

As you find it hard to fit in around other individuals, do you tend to try hard to fit in and talk as others talk? 

Do you find it difficult to relate to others?; and find that what you listen to and take in mentally and emotionally from others, doesn’t make you feel normal? 

Does it sometimes feel as if you are on a different level from everyone else?

Bear this in mind:- It’s hard to feel, knowing that you are on the outside and you don’t fit in.

But know this, there is a silver lining, being on the outside gives you an understanding above all others, which most people in life will never be able to understand and see and feel.

People like to talk to you

Have you noticed that people look at you and want to befriend you a lot of the time? By doing so, you find you become a great listener.

You will also learn to tailor how long and how much you take onboard from someone; because people can start to accept and believe that you are there for them to offload their troubles on, you are an emotional dumping ground for people, which by it very nature is energy draining for you as an empath.

With this in mind, you will also find that people will when telling you their problems come to rely on this either knowingly or unknowingly, if it tends to be the latter, you will soon learn of their intentions to do this on purpose, and you will be able to hopefully sense their nature of doing this. At the very least you will see their pattern. Being overly nice and sincere to gain a better connection with you for you to lower your guard and for them to lie and deceive you and offload on you, but as we have said you will see this coming now.

You seem to have a good sense of things or should I say your intuition is high

Do you feel like your intuition is at a high, and your gut reaction is always correct? If so then your intuition is at a high, furthermore, you can just tell when people are lying to you.

Something to think about – People might think you’re impulsive, but it’s better to follow your intuition rightly or wrongly and know you’ve made the right decision.

Sensing your Environment

You seem to have a good sense of things around you

Do you feel like your intuition is at a high and your gut reaction is always correct? If so then your intuition is spot on and at a high, furthermore, you can tell when people are lying to you.

Something to think about – People must think you’re being impulsive, but it’s better to follow your intuition rightly or wrongly and know that you’ve made the right decision for yourself.

Setting Boundaries

You need to set boundaries

Do you feel like people keep coming at you to offload the emotional constraints and become emotionally draining, regardless of how you feel? Even if you say and have had enough, people keep going and don’t seem to care about how you are feeling.

If so, it’s a good idea to set up some boundaries to protect yourself from this. On the other side of this, being an empath we find it hard to switch off and not help and reserve a little energy for ourselves, but as you already know this can be extremely hard to do, as this might be the case when you cannot differentiate your emotions from other emotions you should seek help. Speak with a professional, do not keep this bottled up to yourself because when you are in this state you only seem to compound your problems because your thoughts are now tainted and will not give you a true reflection or understanding of what is happening in that present moment
