Empathy is a highly prized virtue…
It’s the ability to understand and feel the experiences of other people through their perspectives.
Being an empath means you can understand and relate to other people’s feelings. It also means that you are affected by their energies and can understand what they are feeling.
Empathy is an innate and intuitive quality not all people possess. Being an empath is much more than just being sensitive towards others. They can feel the spiritual urges and physical sensitiveness of other people and are often capable of determining people’s motivations and intentions.
You were either born an empath or weren’t.
Many empaths are so sensitive that they can physically feel the pain of other people. They can experience the symptoms of other people’s illness and high emotions. You may also be subjected to chronic fatigue, or pains and aches which may go unexplained. It is a commonly misunderstood gift which is why most empaths are labelled as hypochondriacs owing to the frequency at which they keep falling ill.
Empaths are difficult to understand or relate to. They are extraordinarily capable of peering into people’s thoughts to analyze the intentions behind their actions, and share their feelings. Their ability to read body language and feel emotions give them the power to understand what the other person is going through.
They are amazing people to be friends with. If you have such people in your life, then you should consider yourself to be very lucky. As much as empaths observe and feel things about the people around them, others also have opinions about them.
Here is a list of things that you must have noticed in an empath:
1. Too sensitive or emotional
