I just discovered I'm an empath. I always thought that was a twee label for emos etc.

I finally understand why I find it so difficult to make hard decisions involving people.
I actually feel other people's difficult emotions and pain so deeply it hurts and I try to avoid that because I want to protect them and myself. I even feel animals (projected) feelings/pain. Any tips for navigating the world as an empath?

@Fairydust I had a narcissistic boss for 7 years. She messed with me so bad but I needed the job. I complained for years and finaly got the union involved. I'm so much happier now that I'm not there anymore. The pay cut was worth it.
