The truth about empaths - Richard Grannon

[phantasma]

So much triggered cope in the comments. So much for the whole empathy thing right? But it's not like someone actually learns from the internet as much as we'd like to tell ourselves, that we're open to contrary opinions. Because obviously if we don't like someone they're just a narcissist. "How dare they invalidate my ego!" You let a weak label run your life, and get upset when that label is challenged, not you yourself being challenged. That should be your wakeup call.

When raised in a toxic is how you survive. Super hyper tuned into the feeling in the room or the person, it is protection so you do not make the wrong move to someone you cannot trust or cannot predict their actions.

Real empaths dont go around telling people or themselves though that they understand and feel other people's feelings.

[NetiNeti-gmbz]

They're called disempowered empaths because they haven't yet set their boundaries firmly. They've been told to ignore their intuition their whole life and been gaslighted on. I think they need sensitive people to heal them

[yafayafa]

I guess there is something u don't know about the real empaths: PEOPLE r the ones always APPROACHING them, even when they only need their solitude.

[beee___]

I've always considered myself an empath, I somewhat recently learned that it was actually a survival technique learned from growing up in a traumatic or unsafe environment. You have to be hyper-attuned to the unsafe person's feelings / mood to keep yourself safe.

Being “codependent” isn’t bpd…lets not pathologize human emotions, this culture of labelling every issue with a mental disorder is destroying us

[TheCove]

Being an empath does not equate to being a codependent or hypervigilant.

Being an empowered intuitive empath equates to reading the ENERGETIC imprint of others and that can be switched on or off by choice.

When you cast judgement on others and mock others spiritual growth, you highlight the areas within yourself that are still wounded.

If you do not understand what an actual empath is, please sit down. You are letting your ego take over

[CreoleLadyBug]

Well…if it’s that exhausting, then leave them alone.

[tamsterk]

I’m going to have to agree. I’m hyper vigilant, I’m very sensitive to the output of others and have PTSD. I’m not a freaking empath, I don’t care about your emotional temp, people are just exhausting! I need people to stay the fk away from me till I can function again, they mess me up!

[donnadonna]

There are people who are highly sensitive. Their mirror neurons are more active than the average person.
They are highly empathetic.
There's a difference between codependency and being empathetic. There's a huge difference between having borderline personality disorder and being highly sensitive in and of itself.
Sometimes these conditions do overlap.
But not always.

[Ali-iqyn]

I don't like the idea of people over labelling (with a capital L) everything and he is definitely projecting here.. Being intuitive is a basic primal instinct and we need it to survive. He forgot to mention that higher emotional intellectual people are more intuitive....

[Kellykins]

I'm a very empathetic person, I don't see that as a bad thing, being able to understand how others around you are feeling.

[ShaktiKaliKaloczi]

This video says more about you than the true frequency of being an empath . I have nothing else to say🙏

[lionizedlamb]

Empaths are some of the most potent people alive who, as a collective, have the ability to change the trajectory of human future in a profound and positive way. Their mystical, deep, and enriched inner space gives them immense ability to manifest and connect to untapped spaces. Dont offend the sleeping giants!

I have complex PTSD from 14 years of childhood torture. What he is saying is 100% facts and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize it.

[margaretmarym]

I think being codependent and being empath are not the same. Being codependent and hypervigilant shouldn't be hyped up.

Both codependents and empaths are the aftereffects of having traumatized childhood. yes! But not every empaths are codependent. Some can recognise toxic behavior and stay away from it, Not necessarily having saviour syndromes. I think there is some misinterpretation for the term 'empath'

[lisatillett]

Yes it is very exhausting I have empathy but I’m not going around giving empathy to everybody I have my own life to live

[anitas]

I actually love this. I can be overly empathic and you’re right, it’s exhausting. It’s intrusive to me. And it comes from insecurity born out of childhood trauma.

[jessicalamb]

Empaths being able to feel for others'feeling is a natural gift from God.
its not an obssesion but compassion- a rare characteristic not found in many humans beings nowadays.
Most of the time the world is filled with possessive non-empathetic
Thats is not a good thing at all.
