Being an Empath
Sometimes i wonder how it feels to not being able to feel anything and everything so deeply?! How it feels to not being an empath? Being an empath you feels others emotions like your very own. It is both blessing and a curse because if someone is happy you feel happiness bubbles inside you but if someone is not okay, you feel that too. And honestly sometimes its sucks to feel everything so deeply; it is both emotionally and physically draining. Its like you want to go outside but at the same time you do not want to surround yourself with people because you can feel their vibes and emotions.
Negative/toxic people, manipulators, narcissists are attracted to empaths because they are so forgiving and understanding. narcissists and toxic people now how to take advantage of that. Being an empath is so overwhelming and sometimes stressful.
When i was younger i don't have any filter(i'm still working on it). I didn't know the sadness i'm feeling is mine or that person who is sitting across me whom i don't even know. And its hard to explain to other person who is not an empath. Another thing is random people will tell you their life stories; i still remember this one time i was travelling by bus and an aunty sitting next to me start telling about her life and some weird personal stuff.
i don't know but being an empath you enjoy people telling you their stories but afterwards you feel (because that happens to me). You have boundaries issues because you never talk about it or everytime you set boundaries people knock it down; which is not okay at all. Empaths without boundaries are self destructive. The first thing you should do is set boundaries. Setting boundaries is hard for me because people tell their stories and leave and i keepbfeeling the emotions related to their stories.
I'm still learning to get out of the situation where i feel emotionally drained because its hard to say NO to the people. But one should learn to say NO without feeling guilty about it. You may have power to heal people or help people but you have to take care of yourself. You need to heal yourself first. Being an empath the only advice i can give you and on which i'm still working is observe don't absorb.
