Observations When Surrounded by an Empath:

Cool, Here's a Thing You Might Relate To:

Has there been a moment when a stranger shared their deepest feelings with you, leaving you feeling drained yet fulfilled? You're not just a bystander in life - you're a magnet. People are mysteriously drawn to you, and they often open up without knowing why. As an empath, you offer comfort and understanding, absorbing their emotions and helping them find peace.

You've experienced this countless times, right?

Marshall Rosenberg, the author of "Non-Violent Communication," describes empathy as something more profound: "In empathy, you don't speak at all. You speak with the eyes. You speak with the body. If you say any words at all, it’s because you are not sure you are with the person. So you may say some words. But the words are not empathy. Empathy is when the other person feels the connection to what's alive in you."

So, you're not just observant; you feel deeply.

sixteen signs you're an Empath

1. Told you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional"? Well, you're not.

What others perceive as over-feeling is just being sensitive to emotions, theirs and yours.

1. Lies just don't vibe with us.

It takes little effort for you to spot a lie. The sensation it leaves behind makes you feel gross, phony, and disconnected.

1. Negative imagery weighs heavy on us.

Images of violence, heartbreak, and despair linger, draining your energy and clouding your mind. You avoid these disturbing images when possible.

1. Crowds can be both exciting and draining.

Empaths are a mix of personalities: introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. But being surrounded by people means absorbing everyone's feelings and emotions, leaving you feeling exhausted.

1. Healing brings us happiness.

We offer guidance to help you heal, but only if you're willing to take action.

1. Stimulants don't fuel us-they exhaust us.

Caffeine-infused beverages make us feel anxious and agitated, and we usually steer clear of prescription medication due to the unpleasant side effects.

1. Authenticity is our identity.

If you're searching for honesty and a true friendship, you've come to the right place. We are who we are, unapologetically.

1. We share your journey-we ride the rollercoaster with you.

Our emotional connection means we experience your joys, sorrows, and everything in between.

1. We have a special bond with animals.

Animals are family members to us, and we can communicate with them effortlessly. Their pure souls captivate us.

1. Constant feelings of fatigue.

Between our emotions and others',Decode: we are often emotionally and mentally drained. We must take time to recharge and find calm in solitude.

1. Take our advice-please.

We listen, we empathize, and we offer sincere advice. If you find it helpful, use it. If not, respect our efforts, as it's exhausting to be ignored.

1. Easily distracted.

Our sensitivity to the world around us often leads to distractions, but it also means we appreciate the little things and find beauty in simplicity.

1. Narcissism just bugs us.

We can sense a narcissist a mile away, and we don't want any part of their self-centered energy.

1. Sensitivity to sounds, textures, and lights.

From high-pitched noises to textures, our senses are heightened, both pleasantly and unpleasantly.

1. Exceptional listeners.

Tell us your secrets, share your adventures, and we will listen selflessly, empathize sincerely, and offer solace passionately.

1. Electronics act funny around us.

From computers to phones, electronics tend to malfunction or act erratically in our presence.

For those who feel a strange familiarity with these points, embrace your gift. Remember to give yourself time and space to nurture your soul and recharge your energy reserves.

Even just a few minutes of silence and deep breathing each day can make a significant difference in managing emotional stress, benefits that extend far beyond the empath community.
