What is an Empath?
Put simply, an Empath is a person who absorbs other people’s emotions and experiences these emotions as if they were their own.
Empathic people are extremely sensitive to the emotional energy of those around them and as a result, tend to commonly experience energetic overload in the form of fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
However, despite the tendency to “soak up” the energy of other beings, Empaths are highly compassionate, loving, intuitive, and insightful people.

I have a lot of questions. 1) is it common for a empath be with a covert narcissist.2)I often guess at things that no one would guess right but I do. 3) I’m also very lucky I win 50/50s and stuff like this more then most people do. The 15 questions empath test. There all true for me.
What type of empath am I? I tend to feel other people’s emotions anger sadness ,anxiety, since I was a kid I hate hospitals and nursing homes for elderly.When people are sad or depressed or need help and uplifting ,they look for me but when they are healed they don’t look for me anymore, I can feel the dead, the energy of people that had passed, my Grandparents died when I was 12 years old and I saw my grandpa shortly after he died in the middle of the night, I’ve had a few experiences like that seeing and feeling them, even people I dont know. but I am scared!
I can also feel Animals! They are my weakness!
Thank you for sharing Claudia, all the more reason to take care of yourself ♡
Now im an empath with my wolf spirit animal she helps me understand the emotions i feel when i walk into somewhere like Walmart with my mom and family thank you so much for helping me with finding out my spirit animal and me being an empath
I went into a witch store the other week with high energy of stress and anxiety. The lady at the store asked if their was something in need, I explained to her what I was searching for and how I am feeling. She then asked me if I was an empath, and I looked at her with daze and curiosity. She took me into a room and asked me a few questions and told me about what an empath was, she said I need to train myself to shield myself and stay grounded within. She started crying saying all she could feel from me was sadness, not guilt, not grief but sadness and doubt. I teared up too. Now all of it is making sense. I am able to call things out, I avoid the break rooms at my work to stay away from crowds because they drain me. I can pick up strong senses that are not verbal. It all makes so much sense to me now.
I Myself believe to be a true empath. Imagine your knocked out cold asleep. When you wake up your crying your eyes out because you miss your dad. But you realize. Your dad is still alive. Then I can hear my mom and dad talking outside my bedroom wall. Then it Dawns on me. Not my neighbor but my neighbors neighbor. Its these two young boys first fathers day without their dad. I felt one of their’s pain thru a field it woke me up out of a dead sleep. Now only twice in 43 years have I known the exact source of the not my emotion.
How are you dealing with it
As I am now on the beginning journey of learning about my gift and how to use it in the world, it all makes sense to me now too. Every time I hear and see images of the migrant children, my heart aches as if I was a parent that sent my child(ren) to the United States for a better outcome. I was standing at the bus stop about 2 weeks ago and a guy, clearly high on Meth walked past me. As God as my witness, I could feel his spirit saying to me, “I really didn’t want to get high today.” I boarded to bus a few minutes later and cried all the way to work. We are E-men, Seanna. We can and will save the world.
Hi
So this is weed hy I feel so tired all the time oh my gosh I’m ssd’s o drained
i think my best friend is an empath cuz a couple weeks ago my cat died and u told her nothing and she comes over and helps me feel better
Very accurate
How do I start a career as an empath
A career?!
I meant to type they. My emotions got the best of me. This stuff excites me. And everyone says I’m different and I accept that as a compliment. I love stars, art, and dogs. My favorite planet is Saturn and I’m a Gemini moon and rising.
I’m very intuitive and when someone cries, I cry. I’m very empathetic and have strong emotions, but I’m dealing. I feel very strongly. I can feel things from external too. I’m very sensitive to everything around me even this planet. I love space and the weather. I love rainbows. Hey make me happy.
I sometimes doubt this and yet I scored a 95 and Precognitive on the tests. I have no friends. They seem to believe I am someone besides myself. I am also an INFJ and I know no others except online. It would be wonderful to make use of these gifts, and I do when possible. I never know the results. That would also make it enjoyable to be the outcast and unseen. I have been married 34 years and though I love him, he is an abuser and possibly a Cluster B. Lately, I have been telling him all I remember and experienced and exercising my newly entrenched boundaries. I feel free within myself yet imprisoned by what my mission in life seems to have morphed into, ie., learning to love unconditionally and being a late bloomer, it seems that i learned in time to fly away and be loved myself. Having a hard time with the decision and cognitive dissonance reigns. Thank you for your work Luna and Sol. I have found such comfort and peace when reading your work. Namaste’
Hello! I’ve never met someone who has the same traits as me INFJ as me! It’s cool to know I’m not alone with my thoughts and emotions
I don’t know if I am an empath or not but I can understand what are you talking about. I can relate “If you are an Empath” section, almost every line. Whatever it is, I just want to get back into my life, enough of sync. with others emotions, I think I am in trouble, I would like to suggest other empaths to maintain a clear boundary. You cant save the entire world, just be a kind stranger, save your soul.
Is it uncommon for an empath to not have friends? I scored over 50 but people typically don’t like me and I don’t know why.
I have the same issue. Ever since I was a child I’ve been despised, harassed and abused by complete strangers. I don’t understand it.
Me too Ana. I wish I knew why. I care a lot and I’m a really good friend, so I don’t understand.
i have the same issue, since i was a child i never fit in anywhere. i was always the outsider. As an adult ive been harassed by even people from my church that assume my intentions. im abused by most of the people around me. never knowing why or what i did for there cruel intentions. i am always defending myself to the point i dont go anywhere anymore.
