Have you heard of empaths or do you think you are one? Empaths are people who are deeply empathetic. They tend to be highly sensitive making them overly aware of other people's feelings and emotions.
Empaths perceive emotions more than the average human being and most times, they face the challenge of setting boundaries between them and others. They will be able to accurately discern people's emotional state by just looking at them and may be unable to disassociate themselves from the situation.
While being an empath can be a good thing, it comes with its setbacks too. An empath is able to build deep and meaningful relationships with others. Their deep understanding of others draws people to them and makes it easy for others to open up to them.
They are good listeners which shows others that they care about what they have to say. They also have a great sense of compassion towards everything around them from people to animals. They tend to be deeply compassionate and caring because they can feel other's pain.
The downside of being an empath is when one is not able to set clear boundaries. This can lead an empath to getting attached to things and people more deeply than they should. They can end up giving more of themselves and getting used in the process.
Empaths also get frequently overwhelmed by being around others. Their ability to sense what everyone around them is feeling can end up wearing them down. They are usually left exhausted after interacting with people.
They may tend to seclude themselves more so as to recover and get themselves back in order. If you are an empath, some great ways to cope are spending time in nature, meditating, learning to say no, and being kind to yourself as you are with others.
