It sucks being an empath sometimes :/

I can imagine. Every empath I knew had trouble setting boundaries with people, and it drained them.

@Colonelmustardseed I'm an empath who has learned to set boundaries. But it took me a couple of years 😂

@Queendragonfly hopefully I can start setting boundaries 😩

@itscamila It will come. You're around the age when it started for me. After 25 I felt different. More adult than before as I carried myself differently, I started taking my needs and boundaries serious and learned to say No more often. From helping every single poster to just allowing myself to scroll by and choose the content that gives energy instead of taking it made a huge difference. I'm positive you'll get there too ❤️

I can see that you would feel more deeply and the world would not be kind to that. Our modern society is full of narcissism and empathy has been twisted to seem like weakness 😢

@userfawkes1105 It's also hard for us empaths to remember that people can have malicious intents. For example the concept of online trolls. I always struggled to grasp that because in my world there exists no need to be deliberately rude to others for fun. So each time I met someone who admitted they trolled, I was confused and chocked. Still is to be frank.

It's hard to be beautiful sometimes

Yes but the other option is sociopath so. I'm glad my traumatic brain decided for super alert to other people's feelings, energies and needs instead of feeling barely anything.

@jshm2 Oh snap

@jshm2 Who says being an empath is automatically positive? I'm one. It's exhausting. I'm still trying to learn how to "shield" myself from others energies. A fellow empath told me that it's important with an energy force shield.

I honestly wouldn't know. I can't relate.

Nobody needs empathy from terrorists .
@Max41 I don't bother anyone. I mind muh bizness.

@MsSwan It is wrong business to bother and trouble others , and behave as if you had done nothing it .
@Max41 Dude, I don't even understand what you're saying. Maybe English is not your first language.
