Empath?

Question

Does anyone else associate themselves as being an empath? For most of my life I have an issue where I subconsciously take on everyone's emotions. So much that you have horrible anxiety? I feel like I'm going crazy... But I was told that I'm an empath?¿ but idk if this is a real thing?

Answer

It's called emotional intuition! I'm the same way and have been for the majority of my life. Basically you are absorbing the emotional energy from those around you like a sponge, which is why it can be really stressful being around a large group of people.  You are more in tune with energy on the emotional side vs. physical, mental or spiritual energy. I suggest reading up on emotional intuition/ psychic energy. You can teach yourself how to tune into the energy that you are picking up vs  the real emotions you are actually feeling yourself. It's very cool (: some people can learn how to see auras, others kinda develop a clairvoyant sense that knows how a certain person will be feeling in the near future. I know it kinda sounds like Bologna but I hope you like it. It could give you a lot of answers to many questions that have been building up.

Answer

I'm an empath!
I used to avoid social interaction because it caused "anxiety"
 Then I realized i was just really attuned to everyone around me. I'm also clairvoyant so learning to separate the two was hard but the more I read into it and spoke to people who shared the same abilities as myself things became easier to work through.

People may think  I'm crazy so I only keep it in a small circle. I'm an empath and yes it does cause some anxiety. I used to embrace it but for my own sanity I try to ignore. I also believe in other things. Can see auras. I do tarot rune and palm readings. I believe in spirits. I have freaked out many people who did not believe because I would sit there and look deeply into someone's eyes and tell them everything from their past. What they have been through good or bad and what path they are going on and how to change it or stay on it. I have also had dreams that would come true. Had a dream of my aunts and cousins being in a car accident. A week later they were. My aunt and her 7 month old died and my other aunt and the two three year old were hurt very badly. Had a dream that there was a wreck involving someone named Benson. I thought it was a close friend. Was looking at the news and there was a family of 3 last name Benson who died in an accident close by. My ex husband was driving to visit family in new Mexico. I freaked out in the car and begged him to wear hus seat belt since he never did and told him something bad was going to happen.  He ended up rolling his car 3 times in Oklahoma and the seat belt saved him. I have had many more experiences with this. I honestly think everyone has the ability but it's a scary thing so most block ot out.

Answer

I do! it's a pain in the butt! I've always been an emotional sponge. I take rhodeola for my anxiety and it helps a bit. unfortunately I haven't found a way to deal with it completely, as I often try to "shut down" to block it all out.

Answer

I'm the same way. Sometimes I need to be alone a while so I can organize what I am feeling instead of what people around me feel. I had a teacher who gave me a metallic stone and told me that it was toe ground me an protect me from receiving people's emotions and energy. It's helped but I can definitely feel it when I don't have it near me. Also the stone has helped me feel aware of myself more than I have ever been before.

Answer

I am! I take Effexor to help with the symptoms but it's still insanely difficult. My nanny is one too, so I have her to help guide me. 
I've always been one, she said when I was little if I was ever around someone who was upset, I'd just cry and cry. It feels like you're pulling the negative emotions out of other people and into yourself. I've always felt crazy though because I've never met anyone else who understands!

Answer

I've had the same experiences my entire life!

Answer

I literally just posted this last night ....I'm glad I'm not the only one ....I agent even heard of this before until I researched these symptoms and feelings I have and then that came up

Answer
