If You Experience Any of These Signs You Belong to The Infamous List of 10 Types of Empaths

They say real men don’t cry. Modern society treats sensitivity as a sign of weakness or a liability. You’re supposed to grow a thick skin. This is a pervasive culture throughout our society; from the classroom to the workspace.

What people fail to understand is that sensitivity can be especially empowering in its own way. This brings the question: how can we become empowered by a trait that makes us soft and delicate, in a world dominated by loud and overpowering people?

Yes, it is true that many empaths may seem weak and even get overpowered, but there is another aspect to this sensitivity. An empath is a person who has a stronger than normal ability to sense the thoughts and emotions of others. Their bond with others is at a deeper level, which is almost a soul connection. They are able to feel the emotions of others and provide support and help. They are the ‘physical spirits’ in our world, the people behind the scenes, the moving energies.

This gift allows empaths to benefit in the long term by gathering psychological, emotional, and physical information from their surroundings. This information is usually inaccessible to the unreceptive mind. Although it is indeed correct that empaths cannot bully people or use brute force, they can however, protect, guide, heal, and deeply understand the people around them.

Knowledge is a huge source of power in this sense and empaths are the greatest when it comes to gathering information by the slightest contact with any social situation. They are the psychical part of it.

Here are Signs that indicate you are an Empath:

– You feel mental and physical fatigue

– Your emotional state depends a lot on external stimuli

– You love your solitude

– You care and nurture naturally

– Crowded places drain you

– You’re a great listener

– Animals and children are naturally attracted to you
