I Am An Empath
You got 50 points or above, meaning that you're an Empath.
The Empath
As an Empath you feel and experience the world a lot more deeply than those around you. Occurring in an estimated 5% of the population, Empaths in a sense personify empathy being able to physically, emotionally and psychologically experience the feelings of other people on a daily basis.
Although the Empath has finely tuned intuition, compassion and listening skills, they often experience a variety of negative side effects from their gift. Not only do they frequently fluctuate in mood, but they also can develop a variety of illnesses from the multitude of emotions they carry around within them each day.
Nevertheless, Empaths are greatly valued and cherished by their friends and family for their willingness to listen, comfort and counsel those in need. In a sense, Empaths plays the role of the "sacrificial lamb", putting the needs of others above their own because they are made the most happy when others are happy.
When Empaths are away from people, however, they prefer to spend their time in nature - perhaps one of the only things that creates peace within them. If you're an Empath, you:
Are often an emotional support to those in need. Everyone tends to open up to, and confide in, you.
Often feel unexplainably moody, or physically ill.
Can easily "read" other people. You see through their lies, masks and pretensions.
Are deeply affected by the emotions of others. These emotions often linger in your mind and body.
Sometimes develop "sympathy pain" when a person close to you is mentally or physically sick.
Have excellent intuitive abilities. You often just know things, can predict events, and can see into the hidden nature of a person.
Are self-sacrificial. You put others needs and happiness above your own.
Are excellent at listening.
Are driven to support the underdog, downcast or emotionally crippled in society.
Have a love for nature and animals.
Are easily overwhelmed in crowds of people, and tend to feel anxious, irritable, impatient and other varieties of emotions.
Often feel fatigued, exhausted or 'heavy' inside.
Find it intensely painful to watch or read about cruelty, torture, violence or tragedy.
Are creative, solitary and spiritual.
