I Am An Empath

One of the main reasons I'm a recluse is because I am an empath. I pick up the energy of every place I go to, and every person or animal I'm around. It's a curse and a blessing.

A curse because it physically [i]hurts[/i] me when I am around anyone who has emotional pain or grief. When I have to be around someone who is angry, I become anxious and angry myself. It's like being a prisoner to your environment.

When I went to the Texas Renaissance Festival, I toured the Museum of Cruelty. It is a wax museum that shows every kind of torture method they used in medieval times. I'm a huge fan of horror movies and haunted house attractions, so I happily went in.

When I came out, I was so heavy-hearted and just felt "off" all day afterward. The evil that humans have committed (and still do) is just devastating and sickening.

The blessing is that because of my ability to sense these energies, my sense of compassion and my instincts are both heightened. I can tell almost immediately upon meeting someone whether they are trustworthy or not. And since I can feel the pain of others, I can truly understand their feelings and help them accordingly.

I don't consider myself an empath, but I am more sensitive than I was.
I don't like negative people and sometimes I can pick up on 'bad energy' and have to leave.
I don't like crowds as much as I did.
Are you psychic as well?

@DallasCowboysFan I have moments of psychic ability (like dreaming of something that later happens; receiving messages in dreams of loved ones who have passed; or knowing how a situation is going to turn out and later learning that I was correct).

@DearAmbellina2113 I have vivid dreams, but I often forget them as soon as I wake up. I have recorded them for about ten years, at least the ones I can recall. Most of them deal with personal issues and I don't recall any that were prophetic.

I have a general idea of whether someone is a good person or not. But I can't stand crowds. I don't know if it is because I am generally introverted, (INTJ ) or if it is because I am sensitive to others that I am introverted. Which comes first the chicken or the egg?

I meditate off and on. I have reached my Guides on a few occasions and heard voices over my right shoulder a few times, but I have never been able to reach them at 'will' and carry on conversations with them, like many others do. Perhaps you can do that as well. If I could, I would ask them 1001 questions about myself, the world, and other esoteric questions.

@DearAmbellina2113 Dreaming of things that later happen...….let me guess they are always bad, right? This happened to a friend of mine who used to live close to a country store that I ran for many years. She came and told me about what was happening, she would have a vision of it, and sure enough soon it would happen. People got scared of her, because she was always right. But I told her that was not God, he did not act like that. He would never show someone that something bad was gong to happen to them, then allow it to happen. But Satan will.
He is out to steal, kill and destroy, everyone that is created in the image of God. He plants his wicked ideas in the minds of men, in order to get them into our realm. We have two choices, to ignore them, and let them happen as he showed us, or to bind them and rebuke them and call them void, in the name of Jesus. However we can only do this if we belong to Jesus. We must accept his Lordship of our lives in order to have his power.
I bound the spirits of evil that were working against this woman, rebuked them in Jesus name, and commanded that they cease working in her life. I also pled the blood of Jesus over her daughter, and asked that the angels watch over her to keep her safe.
She had just told me that she had just had a vision of her daughter, having a wreck and being hurt bad.
That very night the curse went off the girl and onto the dog, it died mysteriously, but the girl is safe to this day.
The power of the enemy of our soul is deceptive, very cunning, and dangerous. But if we are believers in Jesus Christ we have authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. But Jesus also said that my people are destroyed by lack of knowledge. Be wise as serpants and harmless as doves,and nothing shall by any means hurt us. But Jesus also said that my people are destroyed by lack of knowledge. Be wise as serpants and harmless as doves.

@Silverwings You are a smart woman, very perceptive. A good person. I REALLY hope things get better for you.

I agree with what you said about the devil. He is deceptive, but his greatest trick is convincing people he does not exist.

@DallasCowboysFan Thank you for your very kind words, I appreciate you, but I am really doing ok, and have been for years, I am not sure what gave you the impression that things were otherwise? Maybe you misread something that I posted?
