5 Signs You're An Empath

Are you an empath or a highly sensitive person? Are you wondering if someone might be an empath? Perhaps, your sibling, a partner, or a close friend? Someone who is an empath has the ability to understand and share the emotions of another person. It can be understood as “feeling with” someone. It involves stepping into their shoes to imagine what they are going through and being caring and compassionate in order to make them feel better. This caring, this desire to help, is what separates empathy from sympathy. Although they both deal with relating to another person, empathy is felt more deeply and reaches a broader range of emotions. Empaths are compelled to help because they grasp the experiences of others so vividly. Sympathy usually only extends to sorrow or pity. Do you feel being an empath is a gift or a curse? Share this video with someone who might relate.

To all empaths spending their time alone indoors - don’t feel bad about doing that. It’s perfectly okay.

Being an empath is a curse when your kindness is constantly taken for granted or advantage of

[bluesilverarts]

i think that people who put ‘empath’ in their bio are the least likely to be empaths

[billcipher]

The worst thing is when you aren't able to help someone, even if there's nothing I can do about it I still feel guilty somehow

[quantummelody]

I find I often feel drained because I feel everyone else's emotions and can't tell which ones are mine. Though I also often find my mood significantly increases if I watch a bunch of really happy stuff, it's as if the videos radiate happiness. But I find it quite hard being bombarded with emotion.

Being an empath is not really easy. When someone open up about their struggles to you, you'll get easily overwhelmed and needed so many days/time to reduce that heavy feeling.

I’m an empath I even defend people who don’t even know me

[nad-ia-]

Another sign you’re probably an empath is that you actually understand animals feelings/intentions

Empaths are truly a gift to the world. Having such understanding and caring people is amazing. We dont deserve such great people.

Sometimes being empathic is really annoying, its hard to be mad at people because I can feel what they would be feeling . You see someone sad and your day is ruined . You care too much . You feel both side of a story and it's hard to pick sides.

I realized i sometimes feel things for people more than they do. Especially when I'm already emotionally drained

[NenaLavonne]

It’s a gift! Who here is an empath? 😊♥️

[ghost_pictures]

Hm. No wonder I feel like I can't control my tears when someones angry at me.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..]

When I cry I find myself crying for other people and what they're probably going through and its exhausting and painful AF and that's why I don't watch the news :^)
Idk if that means I'm an empath or just weird

[UltimateDragon]

This is me to a tee. I recently discovered that my biggest weakness in life is that always I try to help others with things while never being able to figure out how to help myself with anything & everything...

I *NEEDED* this! I've been going through a lot of rough patches in the last couple years & am in the process of truly starting over in life. This video really helped me out.
