A lot of your points on Super Empaths are accurate with the exception of being extraverted. Yes we can socialize and attract people in group settings however we genuinely prefer solitude. Also we have to be careful of the content we take in like music, films and books. Cheers

[dennispelaez]

I'm both a Sigma empath and a Super empath. I do prefer a small circle of friends and avoid large crowds because of all the noise but I also have the extrovert side of me. I do tend to help and prioritize others than myself which leads me to burn out.. And yes I'm more introverted and prefer it that way than being extroverted especially with today's influence in society.

[johnking]

As a Sigma Super Empath, we are not so extraverted even though we can socialise for a limited time, we can also pick up on emotions through email as strange as it sounds, I have also tested myself to see if I was an Heyoka, but I do not have the ego to fit that classification (that was the only difference).
Trying to seperate Sigma Empath and Super Empath is like trying to differentiate between "are you right handed or are you a human being?" - I am a right handed human being.

[deanspanley]

I never knew what an empath was until I was called one. I learnt that being an empath means pathetic. After being taken advantage of so often I learnt what a Dark empath was. I now have learnt that is the best to be. I still feel and care for the innocent people but I love the fear you can put into bad people. It's my way now

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

[jmfs]

I am learning to be a more of a sigma empath. I am introverted by nature, love deep dives into my special interests, and prefer "shop talk" over any conversation for the sake of making sounds. I used to feel things so strongly from others that I became a people pleaser to try to stop feeling the negativity of others. The sigma part is now growing as I age and discern healthy vs unhealthy people. Some people grow with my empathy, and others see the empathy as a trait to manipulate. Like dealing an OCPD person will drain me because they are relentless in their pursuit of control over others to soothe their mental illness, while at the same time they are so self-righteous that they never actually try to get any healthier. While THEY might enjoy my empathy, it does nothing to make the relationship healthy for me at all. That's where I've discovered that good boundaries are about self-care, not a negotiation with a toxic person. Empaths are incredibly powerful, especially when they learn how to maintain their energy by feeling out who is a waste of their empathy and who is an ally.

[neveragain]

I have been so mentally and physically damaged from theses draining types, that when they cross my path i am now repulsed.

I currently have one as a roomate and im physically and mentally drained.

Hes been given his notice to leave at the end of the month.

He is now giving off extra darkness and negativity.

7:06 Brilliant, concise. TY for the bonus section, "something both types of empaths struggle with... Weakness is Self Care." 7:39 "They can also benefit from .. meditation, Yoga, & spending time in nature." If you list such things again, please consider adding "prayer" 🙏

[Flower-vw]

I'm both, I'm a sigma super empath. I know I am, no one can convince me otherwise. But thank you for the explanations, very illuminating. I'm likely more sigma in my core, I treasure and require lots of solitude and I meditate constantly, but as a psychologist once told me, I'm happiest when I'm on stage performing. ❤❤😊😊😊

[SherryG]

I was a super empath but as you get older....you may see yourself becoming a sigma empath. Just from plain old life experience!!!!

[pharmacistshane]

Everyone can be called an empath with empathic abilities-Human survival instinct. I believe empathic abilities are on a spectrum of intensity and capability.

[rubengarcia]

The only downside of having the traits of both the super, and sigma empath is that I try to help narcissistic type people even though they don't deserve it. I have very strong energy and most narcissists react to me negatively and defensively.

[mfr]

Some of these people are capable of fixing or breaking people in about 10 minutes...

[mannijimenezmusic]

I'm just now figuring out that I'm a Sigma Empath and always have been. Wish I had this knowledge before.

[Kelly-wxry]

What if we just gave up labels and just were.

[parisz]

Omg I'm about to cry I have silent boarderline and I fully relate to the description of the Sigma empath!!!

[KiaPi]

I would say the difference is not in helping or not helping others. I think both help and do so altruistically but the difference is that Super Empaths probably go places looking for people to assist whereas Sigma Empaths mostly help those who cross their path. I agree with the social aspect too, I think some empaths thrive in social situations whereas others actively avoid them but they both feel very very deeply and strongly for others.

[Iamthepossum]

Wait, what?? I am most clearly and definitely both. (??) I literally can read the emotional valence of other people’s thoughts and feelings about me, even from a distance, but am in ecstatic bliss when sitting with others in their pain and healing their broken hearts. ❤ many thanks though for your channel and taking the time to post your content ❤ love & blessings to you

[RoyHughes-tghh]

I think I was a super empath as I definitely can physically feel a mood and could easily go out of my way to improve the situation because I actually care. It was very disappointing to find out I was alone in this as most people just don't get that it is best and advantageous to live in harmony. Even my own parents would say hurtful things like I was soft because as a toddler, I would cry when they argued (often violently). Strangely, I felt at peace though saddened when they divorced. We suffered great difficulty, but at the least, they were safe from each other when they were apart, and that to me was important. I toughened up at school and survived the bullies by pushing back and protecting the weak. I eventually had a lot of friends but also enjoyed my alone time with creative pastimes and hobbies. I enjoyed being a cadet with the St. John ambulance brigade and gave freely of my time. Learning first aid has helped me in so many ways throughout my life and helped me to save people many times, even though I never pursued a medical path. The same applies to animals of all kinds. I think of them as good people. Conflict of any kind angers me and in order to control that I took up self defense in the afternoon form of judo, Karate and Aikido that helped to learn how to control my emotions and not to overreact and remain aware but not be afraid. I think the most important thing was to view walking away from a confrontation as a win and not cowardnous. Though the situation has been altered when I am cornered. I do like sport and competition and especially time trials, simply because I can look after my physical health and measure my performance against my previous performance and thus am only really competing against myself. The only other team sport I completed in, was skydiving with like-minded people. Otherwise, I would rather be in the background.

[carlybowers-smith]

I'm an ambivalent empath. I go both directions depending on what my energy level and my tolerance level is for dealing with people
