Being an empath means that other people’s emotions become yours and you pick them up without wanting to because you’re that sensitive to the world. That is me, I feel sooo overwhelmed in big crowds and when people are having heated discussions near me I feel really bothered even if I am not included to the point where I have to either block out the world by listening to music or by simply leaving.
There are some people that I want to be friends with but somehow, I picked up some weird vibes about them and that makes me feel so uneasy. All the people I was friends with or were close to were pure and safe for me in my eyes, they can change but at first they provided a safe space for me. I feel uneasy when I feel that someone is “competitive, fake, loves attention, has a big ego, loves to gossip, want to use me, doesn’t like me, loves trouble, want to embarrass me” I can sense all of these things and I’m almost never wrong! My cats make me feel at peace that’s why I love them so much.
Peaceful people need to find peaceful people to be with and those people are hard to find. It takes time for me to find a great friend because I am an empath. I talk to many people and I am very in tune to other people’s emotions to the point that I can look at someone and I can tell they are not okay. When someone is crying in a room I can feel their emotions in my bones, I can feel their pain and I wish I could take it away …. It is sooo overwhelming! Being an empath is a curse ! At times I have to leave a room and people think I am always running it’s probably because I don’t feel at ease and there something in there that’s causing me to want to leave …. It’s an overwhelming feeling and I often get really anxious.
