I Am a Empath and I Wish to Meet Others Such As Myself

it's brutal, especially when you're depressed. It's easy for other people's emotions to take over yours, make sure you don't let this happen. Try to think about boring non-emotional things like technical stuff or science or something, I find it dials down the volume so it's not so overwhelming. Never watch emotionally wrenching movies because they'll bother you for months or possibly the rest of your life (Watership Down did that to me). Err, trying to think of more...

You must swear to use your powers only for Good :)

I have an amazing therapist and a great psychiatrist. It took awhile to find the right help. But it is important to have a strong support system. You have nothing to be ashamed of for asking for help. Don't be so hard on yourself (something I am guilty of). Sometimes in life your greatest strength will also be your greatest weakness. Being an empath is difficult. I know. Stay strong and friend me if you want to talk more.

Don't. It's not worth it.

It is very difficult because empaths tend to only see the good in people and will be taken advantage of by those who are self serving like narcissists.
