Yup. I am, that's why I don't like being around negative/ depressed people. I soak all that in and I hate it.

Yes! I didn't realize I was an empath until this year. I didn't know it was a "thing".

It's difficult sometimes because I'm that person that my friends feel comfortable talking to about their problems. And I feel obligated to be there for them. But it drains me. I thought I was moody or depresssed off and on but it was really other people's energy weighing me down.

Yes and it is exhausting

This is why my circle of friends is small. My friends know to call some one else if they need to vent. I can give advice but I don't want to be around you if you're super emotional.

That type of negativity can ruin my whole day. I like happy vibes. If I need to feel emotions, I like watching movies to pull it out of me.

It helps me when I can feel what the other person is feeling in relationship though. No words need to be spoken. Questions don't need to be asked. I just understand.

Yes and while it can be exhausting... I like it! It makes me able to connect to people in a way others can't... The people that I'm friends with we are very close 🙂

And when the tables are turned?

As far as venting? It's simple, I don't. I don't like burdening people with issues. I also don't want anyone knowing my issues lol I'm very private so I deal with it on my own. But I'm rarely sad or depressed. I get over stuff very easily.

If someone can feel what I'm feeling, I love it. This is the type of connection I crave.

You bet! As a Piscean we tend to be sympathizers/sympathizers. Does it bring me down? Nope. It's as if I were a therapist. Do they get depressed? At $ 300.00 an hour they don't...we do it for free.

I have a BFF that lives in California. She and I give one another advice; more on my part than her.

🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

Lawl i protect empaths in real life, its just that them believing that there are compassion in people makes me think they naive aka stupid

— There is compassion in people. These are standard emotions everyone is born with, it just depends on how well a person can surpress it. But we are still able to pull it out of you if we connect. No matter how deep you try to bury it.

Try to pull it out from someone with psychopathy/sociopathy/narcissism. It takes a dark triad to beat a dark triad and fyi there are many of them in the higher rungs of society. I am guessing you are a country sag gurl hahaha

I live in A country but not THE country lol And no I don't deal with those types of individuals. Its a waste of my energy to try and help someone that is purposely blocking me and trying to sabotage it. I can only help those that want to be help and need me.

here is my thoughts on it. i have had at times where i feel a feeling that is not mine. i think it is the subconscious mind that is very intune to whats going on around it. like body language also smells. peoples smells are different for each mood they are in. So when humans lived in tribe groups it was very important to be intune to each other or shit would hit the fan. so the ones with the a intune subconscious mind of the group could pull the group back together and get shit done. this is how i think it works. your mind uses feelings to talk to the conscious part of the brain and when it would knowest a group member being sad for example. so the Sub mind would make the feeling sad chemical so the the conscious would do something about it.

I definitely am. I feel everything and care way too much

I can just FEEL people. I feel their moods. I feel their energy. I feel their lies. I know when something is off or not right. Even when ppl want you to believe everything is fine.

It has its positives and negatives.

Yes

So much that I need to cocoon myself at times. My nurturing Cancer ascendant attracts leeches. I can cry with them, hug them, love them, listen to them,emotions don't scare me, but don't drown me either, or get mad when I need a little love in return.

Yes I am. My singing teacher was too.

It's sensing a mood in a room or a corner. Say you can sense tension from one group towards another. Sensing someone's true motives. Sensing sensitivity of lack of. It's not a matter of judging on appearance. It's the Basal ganglia part of your brain that is involved in Sensory integration, sensory and cognitive processing of people or events. It's a huge biological factor in the gut feelings you get.

I always thought it was a curse to feel things too deeply, so I try to stay away from overly emotional things. I can cry at a sad thought or situation, even if it isn't mine. I used to joke that I was a hired mourner in a previous life. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing, or rather it's an extreme of a good thing. My Scorpio Sun is closely conjunct Neptune in the 2nd house, not a good placement for barriers. The Leo Moon is conjunct Uranus and square the Scorpio placements, so sometimes there's just no getting away.

If anything, being strongly empathic is good if you're a caregiver. Good for the caregivee, who feels understood and nurtured. Not so much for the empathic caregiver, who absorbs everything. I know that there's a way to wall this off, but aside from walking in the woods with my dog I haven't found it.

I think I am highly one too. Sometimes I get anxiety for days n not really understanding if it's me or what.. that's why I try to stay detached.. but my Aqua has high in Pisces and very watery and sometimes I think it's all his energy.. I'm very very intuitive though and just know things... can you explain what an empath exactly is?

I think having my house in Scorpio plays a big part in this

Things get intense

It's funny, but the other night I asked my cancer sister to take a photo of my Sea-Goat and I. She gave off this really bitter energy, and right after, I had an argument with him as we walked to the car. That was our first argument in a long while. Then it donned on me that I let my sister's energy affect how I was feeling, and I then brought it into the energy of my relationship.

I spoke to him about it, and I told him my intention to be more aware of it and, if ever, either of us senses negative energy, we should physically connect with one another (eye contact, tight hand-holding, embracing, etc.) as a way to consciously not allow someone else's negative energy affect us.

Im this way..

Whats it like...

Subtle emotions in people and energy

around people are felt. Sometimes its

confusing as far as if its coming from me.

If Im not balanced and not meditating

properly then being home with nobody

is best to recharge and I soak it all in...

Its hard for me to say no at times too

because the impact of that is felt...

I like being this way but it puts me

in a bind as far as feeling understood

or not looked down upon as a male that

deeply feels through others and highly

sensitive. I love being genuine and feeling

like im that rare person in someomes life

though that finally understands and sees

eye to eye without judging them.

I am an epath who the moment I learned about all of this, i blocked it out of my life to focus on myself.

Sorry but I don't think you can turn this off or avoid it unless you never leave your house again
