10 Reasons Why Empaths Struggle With Love and Relationships

Surprisingly, being sensitive to people's emotions, always being aware of energy swings, and getting quickly emotionally attached aren't the best elements for finding and lasting love.

With their sympathetic souls and caring hearts, empaths can sometimes be their own worst enemy when it comes to relationships, as loving (and loveable) as they are.

Today we are going to discuss 10 Reasons Why Empaths Struggle with Love and Relationships. We recommend you stick with us until the end, since the last point will hopefully make a light bulb go off.

I avoid merging with any partner that I am with... Because I can't stand the thought of taking on their emotions. It becomes to freaking overwhelming and that is one of the reasons why I have not been in a full relationship for close to six years. I have so much more peace in my life since I've been by myself, not to mention the the fact that I found out in 2016 that I am definitely, and positively, a full-blown empath. And that was when everything started to fall into place for me. For me, being in any kind of relationship, even just sleeping with someone, robs me of my peace

[RachelRivas-orhk]

I found I was an empath 4 years ago. It would have been better if I found out earlier

Empaths needs to know who Are narcissists people because its Life changer

[MichaelLloydMobile]

Actually, when empaths sleep with another it's not that they soak up the other person's emotions.
Their energy mixes with the other person's energy, causing the empath to be more energetically attuned to that other person.

Omg I thought I was crazy it makes so much sense

[HAPPY-GIRL]

It’s going to be an amazing journey Just me and the L+RD as I know that HE is the ONLY 1 who will NOT harm me ! Bless you G-D thank you L+RD for me finding the TRUTH of who I REALLLLY am ! Even in a relationship I still felt alone YET with even MORE turmoil in my life ! Like why do I pick TOXIC people to HARM me, Now I know I TRULY know that I can NOT fix anyone, And that it’s NOT my job to do so ! Now I TRULY know that the ONLY person I can be with is another EMPATH just like me, He will be the ONLY 1 who will be able to UNDERSTAND me and with that being said, and that we are soo FEW in number’s, I truly know that it will ONLY be the L+RD who could orchestrate for that to ACTUALLY happen !

[annsawall]

This is so me
Thank you for explaining this. It makes so much sense to me and helps me understand myself.

[StayFrothy]

This is so spot on. Spread this please

[zephyrrrrrrrrrrr]

The sleeping alone is true for me.. i struggle to sleep when i’m sleeping next to a person😭 i don’t want to cuddle, don’t even touch me…. I need space between us.. i thought it would be weird to suggest having different blankets

[mticuala]

Woah! this is so accurate that I felt vulnerable. I never thought a stranger would ever know me 😂😅

[iamrightyourwrong]

Can someone please tell me how to stop being a empath???? I’m exhausted!

[alwilliamson]

Could be dealing with a narcissist situation there's nothing there's nothing good at going back everything for you to go for it that's what's good there's nothing back with don't go backwards in life you go forward

[SpecialAgent]

Some of this is true, but the rest is false depending on the Empath. I would argue that we do have boundaries established but narcissists don’t care and try to erode them. We do have in-depth ideas the rest of the world around us might not get. As for the love 💕 thing, it’s not a problem feeling for and caring for another, so sleeping with a partner is not an issue. I would caution people to be careful with general topics like these and exercise wisdom paying attention to who you’re actually dealing with and not some idea of them.

[lindalou]

Lol making time for my self, was my getting discarded. Freedom at last, cost me to lose everything. ❤😂🎉 now

[josuematute]

I have subscribed. What studies or research have you done to base your presentation? I am curious and I want to know more.

Empaths need to be very selective about their friends and partners.

[karoshi]

Must admit I disagree in the generality of this. Ex is empathically gifted, definitely, while I'm more the contrary as I've got tendencies towards Asperger's (haven't been properly diagnosed, though). That is emotional empathy is hard for me to understand and basically I must rely on cognitive empathy, that is I do understand how people feel (at least I think so) but only on a logical level. Tell me and I probably get it, send minute signals and I overlook them.
Anyways I was the giver and provider in the relationship, they've been the taker. Not only between the two of us; we had several fights about morality, whether or not it's ok to trick people, about what and how one should say to others, etc. Also I've given more than I sustainably could like I took care for the kids, household, income and financials untill I physically couldn't do more due to simple sleep deprivation. It was more like having an extra child - a quite demanding one that is.

That's absolutely not meant to be ranting about them, I don't bare any grudges anymore, I'm just trying to describe how it was in order to point out an example.

In general I think empaths have the _ability_ to feel with others and thus behave in a positive manner easier and usually they may do, not all of them do the next step, though. And some use this insight for their own good preferably.

I'm not angry but pity mine from afar as they - yes - tend to have troubles distinguishing between their feelings and other people's feelings. Maybe wondering if those feelings coming from outside are actually foreign ones or their own, more problematic being their own feelings they project on others, thus seemingly disconnecting them from reality. For example they had issues with their body weight, partly due to thyroid issues. I get that, I do understand that this made them feel ashame, made them afraid of medical issues. But it never was an issue for me personally. When we met they already had those issues and I fell in love anyways. I didn't care but helped them with their diet plans and stuff as it was important to them, of course. Then being blamed to feel disgusted didn't help. It was a projection, only. But they've been unable to distinguish between what they felt and what I felt.

I'm flawed, sure, and I've been way more flawed before we met, don't want to talk that down. But I've also learned a lesson, try to be a better person, try to overcome my inabilities with what I can. I'll probably never be an empath like a colour blind person will never be able to see the full spectrum of light others see. But only because I don't feel what others feel doesn't mean I don't understand those feelings or don't take them into account. On the other hand empaths being able to do that doesn't mean they draw the same conclusions and behave accordingly. It's _usually_ linked, not always, though.

PS: yes, as I do think in categories and lables I assigned one to them. And no, I'm not a psychologist or something. Personally I'd label them either convert narcissist or dark empath, not sure yet. Not an evil human being really, only a hurt one, fighting to not just stop existing when others stop paying attention, good or bad. I know they do feel miserable being so vulnerable, always threatened. I don't think they're aware it's their own inner voice who's minimizing them, though. A pity, really.

TL;DR: I think empathy is only the very first step of sensing others feelings, not necessarily the choice to help others. I'd love to have more distinguished words for that. (Maybe it's just because I'm neither a psychologist nor a native speaker, dunno. Don't know many better in my mother's tongue, either, though.)

[BryantOden]

I’ve never met a married empath couple. If you have please comment below. 🙏🏽❤️

[godlovesyousomuch]

I think if you have to sleep in another bed from your partner you have the wrong partner The energy they have must be very negative and evil

[alwilliamson]

Does not want to hurt that person's feelings lol especially she's not the girl for you
