Being an empath is not a negative trait, but rather a gift that can help individuals connect with others on a deeper level. Empathy and witchcraft are distinct concepts, as empathy allows individuals to put themselves in another person’s shoes and understand their feelings. Empaths have a deep love towards almost everything, and they often help others by providing relief. However, they may not be in control of whether they feel what others are feeling.
Unlocking the power of empathy allows for better self-care and application of gifts. Some empaths primarily absorb emotions, while others tune into subtle energies or communicate telepathically. Distinguishing your empathic talents allows for better self-care and application of gifts.
Witches are different from others, as they also have empathic abilities. There are various types of witchcraft and their experiences can vary greatly. Avery Hart, a Welsh Witch guide, shares her journey as a witch, chaos magician, and occultist, focusing on the power and beauty of these gifts on various levels, including practical daily happenings and spiritual journeys.
Being an empath is when you are affected by other people’s feelings, which can lead to feelings of sadness, anger, rage, love, and more. Understanding and tapping into the power of these gifts can help individuals navigate their own experiences and challenges.
In conclusion, being an empath is not a solution to all problems, but rather a multifaceted approach to understanding and addressing one’s unique empathic abilities.

Do psychologists believe in empaths?
Empathy is a crucial aspect of human interaction, with mental health professionals recognizing empaths possessing heightened abilities to recognize, understand, and share others’ thoughts and feelings. However, empaths often feel overwhelmed by external stimuli, which can affect their mental health. Studies show that empaths are more likely to experience emotional stimulation, leading to both positive and negative outcomes.
Is it bad to be an empath?
Empathy is a trait that allows individuals to easily identify and experience the emotions of others, which can lead to emotional well-being. However, being an empath can also lead to negative energy and feelings of sadness and despair, which can lead to anxiety and depression.
To combat this, it is important to name the feeling you are experiencing. Being sensitive to others’ emotions can make it difficult to distinguish between feelings that belong to you and those that belong to others. For example, if you are feeling overwhelmed by anger and can’t separate it from your own, you can name the feeling. This helps you recognize which feelings belong to you and which ones might belong to someone else.
In summary, empathy is a valuable trait that can help individuals connect with others through deep understanding and intuition. However, it can also lead to negative emotions and feelings, which can negatively impact mental health. To manage this, it is essential to identify and name the feelings you are experiencing and work towards reducing the negative energy around you.
What is the danger of empaths?
Dark empaths can be dangerous due to their keen understanding of others and the bond they form with them. They can manipulate individuals by providing praise and guilt to soften them, and if they detect and question their manipulative tactics, they may convince the victim that they are unfairly judging them. This can be gaslighting, as they may respond with gaslighting when questioned.
Dark empaths can be difficult to detect, as they can wear a kind, understanding, caring, sociable, and fun-to-be-around mask. They quickly forge connections with people, leaving them blinded by their trust. They quietly build mental libraries of information on them that they can use to manipulate them, similar to a dark social media company.
In a vulnerable position, individuals may mistakenly rely on dark empaths, leading to unapologetically abandoning them and leaving them in a worse position. It is essential to be aware of their cognitive empathy and be cautious when interacting with them.
What trauma creates an empath?
Empaths may experience sensitivity issues due to childhood trauma, such as emotional or physical abuse, or being raised by alcoholic, depressed, or narcissistic parents. This can lead to a lack of healthy defenses, making them feel invisible in a world that values sensitivity. Supportive parenting can help sensitive children develop and honor their gifts, as parents serve as role models. However, empaths have a unique threshold for sensory overload, making them less able to defend against stress. As a result, they may not feel “seen” by their families or feel invisible in a world that values sensitivity.
How rare are true empaths?
Empathy is a unique trait that only 1 to 2 percent of the population experience, allowing them to feel and absorb the emotions surrounding them. Empaths view the world through their emotions and intuition rather than relying on logic. Research shows that empaths have hyper-responsive mirror neurons, which make them sensitive to electromagnetic fields generated by their brain and heart. This allows them to intuitive the emotions felt by those around them.
In introverted empaths, they may be more sensitive to the brain chemical dopamine, which is responsible for feeling pleasure. Over time, they may become programmed to avoid external stimulation or need very little to feel happy. Common side effects of hyper-sensitivity include exhaustion, overload, depression, and anxiety. It is important to have space to retreat to when these feelings arise, such as at home or a favorite outdoor spot. Understanding and managing common challenges of being an empath can provide personal strength and help individuals navigate the challenges of empathy.
Is being an empath a spiritual gift?
In 1 Corinthians 12:1, the author emphasizes the importance of spiritual gifts and the unity of the church. The author explains that there are various gifts, such as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, different tongues, and interpretation of tongues, but the same Spirit works all these things individually. God has appointed individuals in the church, such as apostles, prophets, teachers, miracles, gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and varieties of tongues.
The author also emphasizes that not all members of the church have the same function, but they should use their gifts according to their grace. For example, if one is given a gift of prophecy, they should use it proportionately to their faith. If they are given ministry, they should use it in their teaching, exhortation, giving, diligence, and showing mercy.
In Ephesians 4:11, the author explains that God gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints for ministry and edify the body of Christ. This will help them come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, leading to a perfect man and the measure of the fullness of Christ.
In 1 Peter 4:10, the author encourages each person to minister their gifts to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. The author also mentions the unique gift of empathy, which is meant to help people who are suffering because they feel their pain. This gift should be used for the glory of God and the good of others and the church, and should not be kept to oneself.
Is being an empath spiritual?
Empaths are highly sensitive individuals with a keen ability to sense the thoughts and feelings of others. They can be described as empaths, who experience empathy and often take on the pain of others at their own expense. Empaths are also spiritually gifted, having psychic abilities to sense the emotions and energies of others. They are excellent friends, excellent listeners, big-hearted, generous, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent.
However, their qualities can be hard on them, as they can become overwhelmed by painful emotions like anxiety or anger. Empaths often take on the problems of others as their own, making it difficult for them to set boundaries and say no when too much is being asked of them.
Are empaths healers?
Empaths exist to protect their energy, embody both their shadow and light aspects, and tap into, care for, love, and identify with others. They are healers to themselves and the world around them, setting clear boundaries for themselves and acknowledging oneness with all things and people. Empaths teach others to heal by setting clear boundaries and dealing with their own trauma first, rather than focusing on the traumas of others.
Empaths have a specific and heightened journey of integration, a journey they are more sensitive to. They carry the torch for the collective trauma, and as others’ traumas pile up on them, their own traumas bubble up, becoming impossible to ignore. This process is difficult, but as others’ traumas pile up, the Empaths’ traumas bubble up, resulting in a complete purge, allowing them to heal the original wound. This process is difficult, but Empaths are more sensitive to the challenges they face and the healing they bring to others.
Is it a sin to be an empath?
Being an empath is possible, but it can be challenging for some individuals due to the misconception that “supernatural” powers do not come from God. However, empathic abilities are a gift from God, allowing individuals to help others connect with Him. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that genetic factors account for approximately 10% of the variation in empathy between individuals. As an empath, you are unique and special, as not everyone has your gift.
Some of the unique traits that set you apart include being sensitive to people’s emotions, which can make you feel elated when they are happy and suffer with them through their grief, allowing you to anticipate their needs. This makes you a valuable asset to any community.
Was Jesus an empath?
Karla McLaren’s definition posits that Jesus exhibited characteristics of a balanced empath, displaying hyper-empath tendencies, yet his empathic abilities were markedly more developed and refined than those of the average individual.
Is an empath born or made?
Empathy is frequently transmitted within families where members exhibit shared sensitivity and empathy, underscoring the complex interplay between genetics and environment in influencing human behavior.

Recent subscriber here, this wasn’t new information for me but I love that you talked about this, it’s so important. The term empath is thrown around all the time and its basically glorifying a trauma response. I’m a highly sensitive witch who has c-ptsd and yeah boundaries and people-pleasing are big issues for me. I felt drawn to witchcraft because it is so down to earth and no-nonsense, unlike certain spiritual circles where everything is about good vibes only. Thanks for the article!
It took me a long time to be able to wrap my head around the idea that if one person had a bad day, it doesn’t mean that I have to have a bad day too, even if I feel sorry for that. I was called selfish and told I had no empathy when I was growing up (I remember hearing that kind of language from ages 8 to 21) and basically forced into having emotions. I wouldn’t look at people’s faces because I was always concerned about what they were about to do with their hands especially; I guess that’s why some people thought I was autistic now that I think about it, even though when I went to a physical therapy place for autistic kids I had a mental breakdown and taken immediately out of the program. It felt like I was an imposter all the time when everyone else called me the kindest person they know. So yeah, I definitely have crap to work on. “Yay” generational trauma and unavailable parenting. Working on it, especially mundanely, but it sucks anyone has to deal with it in the first place. I hadn’t even considered how the very concept of empathy played into it. Thanks for re-iterating that empathy and psychic powers aren’t the same thing; so many people say verbatim; “if you are an empath you have a ✨~psychic ability~✨” (yes it’s usually the sparkle TikToker types XD)
This one hits home for me because this is very much my lived experience. It’s very much become my “superpower” because I’ve become very able to read situations and see multiple facets of a situation. Therapy should definitely be on my to-do list. I’ve always had a problem with the whole “empath” thing because as humans we all have empathy and empathy does not equal empath!
I’m so glad you put this out there. I’ve been like this my whole life. It’s a life of anxiety and depression. I’ve always been a sensitive kid. I don’t think my was a trauma thing at least with my parents (I was however bullied from my peers). It’s just being a very shy. I’m still that way. Why anyone else would think this is a magical gift needs to get their head examined. It’s debilitating.
I do this all the time. I read people to see whether I want to approach them. Sometimes my parents argue with my aunt (she lives with them) and when I’m there it triggers me really badly. It’s a rush of panic and anxiety. I have a hard time with therapists though since they shut off themselves to not get emotional with you so I don’t know how to react 😅 which is another problem on it’s own. Maybe it’s why I study psychology now.
Yes! Completely agree with deep shadow work in alignment with therapy, and at least with some kind of guidance at a minimum. Especially, if you don’t have insurance to have healthcare for therapy, seek some kind of guidance with deep shadow work. If not, it’s like opening Pandora’s box of everything that has traumatized you and or that you’ve suppressed for you’re whole entire life. And, that can get really heavy really quickly.
I am an Empath…I began to think I was a weak person. Id have a stressful day at work when working with people who are sneaky, manipulative, liars, negative. Id come home crying or so shooken up Id be nauseous and my heart would race. I actually left jobs due to this. Im trying to learn how to manage this and set boundaries!!!
Rose Quartz is actually a good sort of emotional shield. I have a Rose Quartz pendulum and a pendant of the same that I keep with me constantly. I have to carry them if I go out in public or I’ll get overwhelmed almost immediately. I also have a necklace that was gifted to me by someone I went to school with. She soaked it in water that had had lavender, honeysuckle, and roses bathed in it for a while. It helps me keep calm when my family gets particularly hard to deal with.
I am an empath and have been recently practicing shielding myself from negative emotions. The other day, I practiced it while talking to my mother. She was very, very upset because we’ve been in quarantine and she hasn’t seen my kids, her grandchildren in over a month. Usually, she would take me down with her emotionally, and my entire day would be off. I was amazed at how well protecting myself worked. These articles help a lot, and it’s so nice to see others who are the same way.
I had that experience at work when I started my job- every time I went in the office I was feeling drained more and more moment after moment. There was my co worker sitting in front of me and I’ve felt such a negative energy from her as if I’ve killed her family member or something and I didn’t even know her! it was so intense I was feeling hurt to the bone just by one look of hers- I didn’t know then about protecting myself or that someone could be so aggressive not even having an actual interaction with you. Your article explains a lot! Thank you! ❤️
Totally an empath here. As a small child I felt traumatized when perusal films that depicted people arguing or suffering; I would even run from the room that had the TV. As I got older the same kept happening when I read/heard stories from the news, friends with their problems, history, etc. It was awful because I didn’t know why on earth I would have such strong anxiety and the emotions would keep me up at night sometimes in tears. It was like I was getting second hand PTSD from other people (I had the same feelings and symptoms in behaviors). It is frustrating because I feel so vulnerable and don’t know how to protect myself. I have started this journey a year ago to focus on learning about myself in this aspect. I have taken to smudging, yoga, wicca, veganism, etc. and have seen great improvements in my emotional health. Every month I learn something new about how to live happily as an empath. Thank you for your insight and words of advice. 🙂
I’ve been extremely empathic since I was a child. To the point where I don’t just feel other people’s emotions. I also feel spirits emotions and see spirits. So I wish I had someone like you to help me when I was young. There are other empaths in my family but they are so shrouded in shame over it that I was often told things were in my imagination and etc. So I was dealing with scary things all by myself and thought I was crazy. Now that I am older I know I am empathic and understand. Sadly I had to teach myself how to deal with it through out my life. But now when a child tells me they see or feel things I help and teach them so they don’t feel alone. I just need to learn how to turn it off or down some how. Other than ignoring it. Thank you for this information and helping others ❤
it’s so pointless to comment, but I feel like I’m on the out. Like I’m on my way out. All my life whenever I’m around too many people or the wrong people I get drained. Today it’s hitting me pretty hard. I’ve been trying to ignore everything and just power through with a positive mindset, but these past couple years have been really hard. Once I graduated high school things started to get better, but then they quickly declined when things at work started getting really stressful plus having trouble my first time going to college. I also live with my mom for financial reasons and dependency issues. I used to be good at keeping people at a distance but everyone has broken through with all the stress going on and it’s been taking a toll.
Like you, I did a lot of reading and found that I am an empath. I knew something was different my whole life, since a very small child. I recently had to distance myself from my mother. She’s very negative with me. Once doing so, my life got so much better. I love my mom, but she’s just not great for me to be around. Thanks for this work that you do. I appreciate it !
I might be an Empath. At funerals I always cry, even when I never met the person who has died. Picking up other people vibes strongly without knowing the reason why, even when it’s nether negative or positive being overall hyper sensitive. There is more but my goodness this article just clicks with many things that has happened in my life in the past three years..
Oh my goodness. All of my life I’ve gone through this. I pick up on spirits so quickly. My family have more effect on me than strangers but sometimes strangers can look at me and I find myself praying after crossing their paths for protection from what ever this vibe is they just gave me. I always linked it with discernment but I’ve always felt it was more than that. When I was in my twenties and wasn’t so busy I was able to bounce these negative vibrations off. Perhaps because I took baths and had more time to just sit and meditate on my day as a whole. But now that I’m closer to my 40’s and live a more busy life with children a husband and work I’ve found that I haven’t been able to shake it and it’s causing dis-ease and sleepless nights. It’s like a plague build up in my spirit so to say. I am a very sensitive person and can pick up on a lot and I hold it in thinking it will go away. But I’m finding that’s just not the case. Thank you for sharing. Now I can research more and focus on protecting myself.
I believe I had a psychic attach (and didn’t even know that term existed back then). I am very strong and know how to bounce off people’s negative energy, but at the same time I am too nice. I noticed a lot of bad luck started happening. Now I am looking into protecting myself and my family, which is how I found this website! I love listening to The White Witch Parlour!
i can definitely tell this. like, my one brother that most of my family hates has a much more positive, almost innocent energy about him, but everyone else thinks he’s annoying. meanwhile they’re just shrouded in negativity, and i’m far more affected by them and their negativity than the loudness and innocence of my brother. i always wondered how no one else could tell that about him, but discovering that i’m an empath helps it make so much more sense
Wow…..I knew there was something different about me. I was wondering why I am always so angry for no reason in certain places more than others when I shouldn’t be and I get it now….I’m taking in the energies of those I am around every day. Thank you so so much for bringing this clarity in to my life. I have read a few things about being an empath and no where did it tell me that I actually absorb the energies coming from other people so this has definitely helped me immensely!
Thank you for this post… I have recently discovered that I am an empath … For a long time I’ve known that I could feel things that alot of my friends could not… I can feel the tensions in the room and know when something is wrong but I also take all of this inside and never could understand how to separate it.. so thank you for sharing … I’m a babywitch as they say and I’m just beginning my journey I’m learning but it feels more like I’m just remembering… 🌹🌹🌹
Gasp! I could never imagine trying to block these energies! Whether the energy I pick up is negative or positive, it feels good to be able to spiritually connect and understand people. I just practice more with cleansing myself from energies I pick up every day at the end of the day to make sure my main energies that guide my spirituality is my own pure energy.
Hello!I know I am a empath,I have been given this ability to be able to feel and understand humans around me.I am able to read energy all around around me,I am very good when somebody is lying to me and the insecurity they go through to tell me a lie,I get very fatigued when faced with negativity,I have to go to my own beautiful space to build my energy back up.Narcissistic people are always fighting to drain my energy,I am very able in my mind body and soul for these feeders.
This made me break into tears I have long looked for protection from other world spirits since I was drained from visions,voices,and being a seer. I scared myself when I found I can focus energies negative and positive. I have never been able to express to anyone what was happening daily to me just from walking into a house a street a room, I felt it all joy,pain,despair,anger though I was helping it was too much and I was alone.thank you for this article you don’t know what you have done for me…
I had to figure this one out all by myself… Can you imagine??? I thought I was a chick who didnt like to shop… come to find out, I just dont like the mall… too many people in my head… LOL I love that you did this article… I know empaths have trouble like anxiety and depression… I am “rogue” and I do not… but thats another story! Just found your website and I think its lovely! I am so liking this YouTube thing and the community! Its so nice to see and be in touch with LIKE people… <3 xoxoxo Jenni Love, The Rogue Witch
I work in an acute care hospital – I see birth and death everyday – NOT to mention hear sooo many spirits – it’s like whispering chatter if you will…. I not only soak up the energy of my patients, but their families as well. This is really all new to me – although suppressed the ability since around age 7 or so. I just watched ur article “Five things that may indicate ur a witch” – CRAZY TRUE! 🤔 Thank u so much❣️

Thank you so much for this article, I’m am empath and lately been absorbing a lot of low vibrations from a lot of misfortunate in my family and friends. This article really helped me rediscover what I need to do to protect my aura. I’m new to the path and try to learn a little more each day. Sending you many blessings and good vibes
I’m glad I found your website. I’ve been perusal your articles since this morning because I’ve finally hit that moment where i can’t just deny what I am. And I have known for awhile that I am an empath and a witch, but I just didn’t gave myself time to understand what I have. Thank you that you made all these articles. now im back on track into my enlightenment journey.
Thank you so much for posting this article, Jenna! I’ve been struggling with my abilities as an Empath since I was a child (before I even knew what the word Empath meant, in fact!)… Your tips are super helpful ~ If it wasn’t for you and my other fellow Witch friends up in Salem (I live in CT) sharing these tools and helpful hints, I’d be one miserable and exhausted Witch! Thank you for all that you do… You’re a gem! Blessed Be!🌙🔮
And I thought all these years I was weird. I can feel people’s auras/vibes, I can literally feel the atmosphere and can tell when it’s going to storm based on how the atmosphere feels and how weird it is outside. I’ve had this weird empath thing since I was little and it’s handy sometimes, and other times it just drains me to feel all these emotions for no reason. I’m binge perusal your vids and they speak out to me of everything that I’ve ever encountered, and never thought anyone else would experience this type of stuff. It scares and freaks out a lot of people when you have insight to things and I’ve been called witch on several occasions because of it. My mom and I also make tinctures and remedies with herbs and we have 20+ books on Herbology and Earth’s medicine books and people avoid us like the plague.
Yes I was told I was an empath about 10 years ago. I never understood what was wrong why always negative low vibrations now I understand and carry the crystals and try to create the bubble Also same with family members so hard to be around tbh for awhile that’s why I never wanted to visit. Great article thank you.
I’ve always understood that I was overly sensitive. Only within the last few years I’ve also come to understand I am an empathy and a beginner healer. Last time I was at the crystal store, the aqua aura quartz was calling me, picked it up and purchased it. Come to find out, this crystal is one of a few that does help empaths.
i sooo relate to your story here..:) i have been treated like a dustbin all my life..and if i would not go into their negativity then they all say that i am emotionless and a logical mentalist..I had a hard time when it was someone i loved or my brother and my mum…they are psychic too but totally ruined my life and any happy mood i might have had. They do psychic attacks remotely and block me from having a partner/being happy/ even me moving to another country all my life! My mum just died..but my brother is still trying to draw me into his nightmares. I am definately being sensitive and an empath and have very much trouble with people who think they can have authority over me. It came to a point that authorities think they can bully me around too and give their negative manipulative vibes too. I tend to take over the conversations or dominate it or take leadership all because i feel their manipulations and also the emf/mindcontrolwaves within buildings.. It’s really hard to find a job since 1999 since i left the matrix so to speak. Maybe you can give tips how to find a job which doesn’t overwhelm me so much! I scan into a company and i cannot work for them anymore..i have this all my life. Thank you for this great article 🙂
Finally an answer, so my best friend has a super open third eye and she can interpret people so deep but she is not very educated in any spiritual matter it just comes very easy to her and she basically described me as an empath, after that I had some dreams where she poured a white light shield on me, now I feel that somehow she’s looking out for me even if we live in different continents
As soon as I saw this post on Facebook I had to watch it! I love your voice it’s soothing and level and good to listen to. I have always known I was an empath from an early age. I never knew the term, but I have always been sensitive, especially to peoples emotions, expressions, and mine, and I always observe that before I would speak. This was great to hear because as I’ve gotten older, I have become negative, and sort of my own energy vampire. LOL. Sad to say but the truth. I would love more articles in general, but especially on this, and maybe experiences you have had or just more tools, ideas. Hope you have a good evening (it’s 6pm here), so wait, good afternoon where you are 🙂
I definetely feel this. I can’t listen to the news because I hold on to those stories I hear and spend months feeling and having repeated flashes of them for months and get emotional and anxious about them at the most random times. I never seem to let go..they just pop up even on a good day. Even for the animals which is why I am vegan also. It is actually really hard and people don’t understand why I get so passionate and emotional…I think I need to start working on this. I used to be terrified as a child of things I thought I saw in my room at night and a flash of a red person that would run past me for years and make me seem paranoid and I worked so hard on blocking everything out…and all of a sudden a very strong feeling of curiosity led me here….maybe it is time to break down my walls?
I’m learning this about myself that i’m a empath i couldn’t understand why i got so emotional at times and take on my husband emotions also and it is draining. I think i went into a melt down for about 3 or 4 months and just getting out of it this month but learning this about myself will really help me continue on my way. Thanks for this article and your voice is so confronting it relaxed me. I hope that doesn’t sounds weird.
When I was experiencing an earthquake in Nepal there were hundreds of people screaming and the feeling of all of the screams made me so nauseous that I threw up amongst the crowd. Being in a very crowded city full of pain for the weeks following I felt so sick and like I was being strangled all day. Also when I’m being lied to I often know because I feel so sick in my tummy or when other people have hangovers or headaches I can usually tell because I get all of their symptoms in my body and I’ll be like” do you have a headache at the back of your head, behind your eyes etc” and they usually do.
Hi Jenna! I’m a new subscriber. Your website is a great source of vital information delivered in an easy to understand context. I need a lot of help & you have articles about practically everything I’ve been dealing with. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your website today. Yeah! Thank you. You are so pretty. I feel like your good vibrations just radiate off of you; you’re illuminated by goodness. (Is that a weird thing to say?) I’m surrounded by intensely negative people, a very stressful home/family life & hectic situations, and my job is awful too. So it’s refreshing & inspiring for me to see someone with good positive energy & I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
This article was so helpful! I just got my first reading a couple days ago and found I’m a witch and a high priestess card was drawn. I’m very excited to start this new journey in my life of finding another piece of me. I’m going to do it with help also from your articles I hope you have a email for questions because I’m currently looking for where to start.
Before I found out what I was I thought I was crazy and pretty much became a recluse with just my children and partner being the only company I could handle. Going out to a mall or shopping center was down right scary if my husband or 1 of our children was not there for me to anchor too. My family said I was just having anxiety attacks and wanted my to see a shrink so I did research on that and nothing fit. I came across an article on empathy and a light bulb went off. It explained everything I was feeling and going thru and why I totally avoided some people. I would like to learn more ways to strengthen myself and block the negative. The use of clove is something I’ve never heard of as a purifying herb, I am really interested in learning more.
I get very moody around negative people then feel so tired afterwards very easy triggered I get this really bad gut feeling around certain people ive noticed my hands will shake I also have a habit of swaying sitting or standing I was told its a natural self soothing thing like how you rock a baby,rollercoaster ride is an understatement it feels like a curse at times
I’m first hearing about empaths right now and this all sounds very similar to me. my friend when she was very very negative and depressed and EVERY SINGLE TIME I was around her i was sooo upset, mentally drained, exhausted, and even when she left I felt like that and would have to try and meditate and spend days alone to feel better and it always became like that when I was around her. But good news she isn’t really depressed anymore and doing much better so now I don’t feel like that around her anymore. But recently just this weekend I went to a Renaissance fair with my friend and her parents and immediately it felt wrong when I got in the car with her parents and because they were very like seemily tense over nothing, by the end of that and I got home i was really tired, stressed, and upset when I had no reason at all to be upset. And my mom asked me what was wrong cuz I just stayed in my room for the rest of the day trying to relax and spend time alone cuz that helps. And whenever my friends or family are upset or something I can always tell and I always ask them if they are, then they open up to me and we talk. Do you think I may be an empath? Or something else also because my dreams happen in real life sometimes, or a random uncontrolled thought pops up out of the blue then sometimes years, months, weeks, days, or even sometimes hours later that exact thing, move for move, word for word, like a article, happens. What do you think? By the way I just turned 15 yrs old, this has been like this since I was 8-9 yrs old.
Wow I just came across your website and I think I’m empath I notice a lot of people being mad,people coming to me about what’s going on… I am a sensitive person and I also go home frustrated I’m like I was just fine I didn’t know this even could happen everything u mention in your article has happened to me…
I discovered that I’m an empath and last year only I migrated to a bigger city and I’m facing a lot of problem in adjusting there. My psychic abilities started to recover when a spirit tried to interact with me. I thought it’s just a dream but after researching about that I got to know this. After that I started to feel. I could sense others vibe. I could sense things. Today only after perusal your article I started seeing aura. I saw mine I saw my mother’s. Please help me in improving it. And help me with adjustment in the new city.
Im of a different awareness regarding being an empathic outlet. Now, Ive been on the up and down ride, mostly in my days of youth, but its very apparent to me now, that my empathic awareness’s are now, or have evolved into (at this time) into a very effective ‘transfer outlet’ for the removal of Pain, and for the removal of its emotional confusion it carries with it. In a recent hospitalization, l found myself understanding why I was Suddenly able to understand the needs of the patient in bed B, even though I don’t speak Farsi, and I never saw her face or knew her name. After being in this room with her for about a 1/2 a day, I could realize that the techs coming in and out of her room were quickly agitated with their own inability to understand Farsi. They weren’t finding answers to what was wrong. Then, it started. She cried aloud from such a deep place of pain. It had been such a protected place, that till that day, I dont think she had ever cried from there,but it was a complete release. I never realized that there was such a place, until I heard her cry. I covered my face with my pillow and began helplessly crying. I was not crying because I was in pain, i was crying for her inability to tell them what was wrong. Then I told myself and her, with a, single thought image of a light switch, that I was rerouting her pain, and I did. Instantly, this fast flowing white river of her pain was flowing down my mouth, through my bed and down to the floor. I had never done this before.
I realized I was an empath at a young age….. I was 2 and my grandmother had her leg amputated and I actually had pain IN MY LEG my mom took me to the Dr. and she was told I was going through sympathy pain for my grandmother I wish my parents knew how to handle me at such a young age being an empath instead they buried my gift I wonder what would have happened if they embraced it…..
I always described myself as a very empathic person. I cry if I see other people cry and I am happy when I see other people happy. I am an extremely adaptive person. I don’t really have that ONE personality I’d say. My behaviour always depends who I’m out with. I don’t know if that means that I’m an empath but I can feel negative energy too also positive energy, sometimes more sometimes less and also some people have mixed energies what’s really confusing. My best friend has depressions and her energy is lately changing more and more. She’s starting to have this very neutral negativity I start feeling uncomfortable around her and I can only remember that time when we were in 6th grade and I started getting depressions too because of her depressions. I’m very afraid this is gonna happen again so I started distancing a bit but she’s doesn’t want that obviously. I don’t know what to do and I’m afraid of what could happen to me especially because I just got out of a depression last year and I don’t want that to be back. Do you have any tips?
Amen. Thank you!I just got out of a relationship with a narcissist and I’m broken and numb. I keep breaking down crying and dealing with the emotional sadness. I’m also sad he has someone he is interested in and he was going to go ask her out and essentially done w/me. I was such a patient and loving girlfriend and I am grieving the loss in heartbreak.
Thank You so much I thought I was losing my mind, A grown A** man crying all the time swirling emotions, I was in jail ah yes county jail, and these guys would be telling me their stories, and the tears would start flowing to the point where I reached out and grabbed one dudes hands and just started praying for his situation. The odd thing was they sought me out instead of avoiding me? Again thank you I’ll be getting myself some onyx ear rings I’ve been drawn towards onyx anyway.
I myself is an empath. I just figuring this out while starting to go thru a bad divorce where I feed off of my soon to be ex husband emotions of depression and anxiety. I been trying to find ways to stop the connection of me feeding off of his emotions. I am hoping to get a better control and to better protect my daughter and I. My daughter is only 2 and is showing signs of being an empath.
I soon realized that I am an empath because of you that’s why I am like this absorbed! But I have a good n kind heart… I was a Christian. Now a revert to Islam. I’m an undergraduate of B.S. Psych. I live here in UAE. I was cancelled from shaytan Syrian bitch swindler! Thank you so much for revealingly made this article.
wow. Thanks to this article I now know what my problem is. i think this is why I suffer from anxiett and panik attacks. i worry for others. everytime someone tells me something either be negative or telling me they are sick, I start getting panik attacks and put myself in their shoes 🙁 how do I make myself stop feeling this way?
Hi, you are doing wonderful work and reaching out But you need to believe that you are doing something really good. it also takes a lot of courage, I for one am glad that you are there. You have a wonderful warm smile and your eyes light up at the same time which is infectious. This is meant to be a positive comment I do hope you understand what I am trying to say. Blessed be. Stay just the way you are and enjoy yourself.
Been so confused ever since i was little, people think im buts. Im a gemeni so im very suceptable to all of this, ive always felt what everyone feels arpund me and i cant just be me. I want to move on and i love the people around me. Nobody wants to deal with their problems and when i try and deal with mine it holds me back. Need some guidance but everyone is too selfish to help. Im a very spiritual person, from birth. I feel like something is just draining me all the time and im always tired regardless of how much i eat exercise or sleep. I just want peace and growth. People dont get me. They say im wrong or they dont wanna hear it. People think tooo logically and they cant open their mind. These voices. They sway me. I dont need that. And i think an old friend who is now practicing black magick is targeting me for his growth. Feels like there is someone else inside of me if that makes sense. My anxiety has put me in the hospital twice.
thank you so much. have been really struggling around some peoples energies. peace love n light. INteresting that you suggest amethyst for protection, I found when wearing amethyst as well as moss agate I felt all doors were open and I felt vulnerable. I love my moss agate alone tho, grounding and protecting. I guess we all have unique energy fields so our crystals that help us would be unique to us too. love your articles peace love n light
Wow…so glad I come across this vid…I’ve been confused, procrastinating, emotion to name a few during my study. I know I have a few negative friends and relatives and this is having an effect on my study and I notice the person who is laid back is improving. No one understands…I know you explained quite a bit what to do – but what do you think is the best protective solution for me? I even don’t feel like going in class and trying to avoid some relatives. xox
Thank you so much for this article, I needed this in my life. I am new to this path, and I found myself exhausted and even to the point of having anxiety attacks. I work with the public and being an empath is very draining! And I never knew it until you mentioned it but I’ve always been drawn to amethyst so I subconsciously was trying to protect myself. Thanks again, many blessings and light!!
Hiya, thank you for your great articles!! I’ve only seen two so far! I really could do with some urgent advice though please about turning it off. Ok please bear with me. This could be a long message but hopefully it will make sense! Ok firstly My partner and I have only just realised we are both empaths constantly bouncing off each which can be ok or very not ok. We’ve known for a while we had some cool ability as we managed to unknowingly heal three of our friends who all said they didn’t want to leave our house afterwards?? it was 3 separate occasions different friends all said similar things about wanting to move in with us! Lol Ok So we both have multiple mental illnesses but the hardest to live with being his violent intrusive OCD thoughts (obviously we are good people so he’d never carry out the thought! ) and his ADHD and my ADD. Despite the hard times like multiple times each day every hour lol there’s the inability to be carry out very easy peasy daily tasks (for normal people) sometimes lack of motivation, constant forgetfulness, we spend ages every single day looking for my lost purse, keys, glasses etc but we also laugh together everyday a lot as we’re so similar and luckily find each other and ourselves hilarious! But We have only just been able to shake off the worst darkest and scariest depression period. We were literally not able to understand why we were so ill.I’d start to think about what set it off but could never hold my concentration long enough. I knew if I didn’t try to find out about us soon as I could then we’d never get free.
Thank you, I am very big empath from ever since, I know intentions of people and my intuition about them is extremly strong, so some people don’t like me because they feel I can see into their soul..sounds silly but it happend :). I had big troubles protecting myself from negative people and absorbing their energies. I was thinking using Obsidian. How should I use it, as a necklace? Thank you so much, blessed be 🙂
I’ve always thought I was an empath. But I feel a lot lately that I am the one with the bad energy. And urge people away so they don’t get touched by it. Example: I can tell my friend is in a good place, so I tell her I won’t be visiting until my energy isn’t so dark. Should I keep distancing myself? Or let their good vibrations in? Now I feel like this sounds crazy..🙈
… TY … it is so much TRUE … BUT BUT BUT … i ‘ m NOT understood at all … the interpretations are the most SIMPLISTIC as possible . specially the one which says i segregate . when i do NOT . i have to train a lot in order to know how to build this shield around me . it goes to the point of having very strong PAINS PHYSICALLY . i feel DEEPLY that i have to isolate mjself, still more, and go through the FEELINGS, which are so much true . still i leave people to enter into me .

Paganism, killing humans &adultery are the deadliest sins, mentioned in all God’s religions, &Quran frankly &explicitly promised multiplied eternal punishment & humiliation for their doers. Such sins bring deadliest indirect corruption on souls&earth: diseases, disasters, poverty, crimes &more sins. O humans, worship your only God who created you from nothing, the guardian of souls &earth based on our deeds, pray for his forgiveness, &stop purposeful deadly sins to avoid corruption, misery &hellfire. Instead, you should promote prayers to God, being good to parents, bringing life to earth, decency &marriage, health &safety initiatives, charity, justice, truth, and good conduct for humanity to approach righteousness, happiness &heaven.
I am very empathetic, sometimes. I really hate it. I am trying to learn to sheild myself from it. Though most of the time my sheild is very weak. Plus I live with an energy vampire. I also hang out with 4 other energy vampires as well. I seem to attract vampires. I don’t understand why. I also am a physic, medium, and clairvoyant. I am very sensitive to the paranormal. I sometimes feel these gifts are curses. Example if I go into a place or area that is very haunted. I not only feel, see but hear them. They love me and wind up following me home. I really need some true guidance on how to control this stuff. Can you maybe help me?
becareful of those that say everything is evil if God made it herbs stones plants the elements it is not evil the evil is in those that say gods creation is evil like animals have no souls what a loud of bull you are evil or good the way u conduct yourself those that think they are so pure are filthy
I’m not an empath but my sister witch is. She does well at protecting herself most of the time, but I was wondering if any of you know of any ways I can help her. I’m always there for her when she needs to talk but is there any way I can share my energy with her? I’m asking because I’ve always been really good at making mental and emotional shields for myself as well as being able to draw off of a deep well of fortitude in all matters so I was hoping I could impart a bit of that to her when she needs it. Thank you in advance for your advice.
Are there any credible sites you would recommend to buy the stones/crystals from? I have felt especially drained lately and I just started to explore what being an empath is. I have been saying for.a long time how I feel like I just soak up all the negative feelings people have around me and then I just feel so depressed all the time. It has gotten to the point where I just cry like every day. I am looking to start practicing things to help myself not be so drained, but I want to make sure I do it right. Thank you!
Serious question – I was just doing some research and listening to some sounds to open up the pineal gland. Now, pretty much every article was just made up of repetitive beats and sounds at a very low frequency. I gave a few a listen and not gonna lie, I felt “something” happening in middle/back part of my head, a bit where my spine met my brain, but more inwards. Idk, sounds far fetched. Anyway, I completely and totally believe that our entire world is made up of vibrations. Everything vibrates. Everything. And the speed at which certain things vibrate can heavily influence people’s mood’s. So, my question is, considering those articles, with such low frequencies to help open your “third eye”, would you consider those bad vibrations even though they are trying to do something good? Please forgive if this is a weird ass question, I am just entering the world of witchcraft and would like to educate myself on the correct way to go about practicing the craft in a healthy, positive way. (Also, I am an empath. Felt it myself and my mother has reassured me of this since I have had any memories).
Magic is not in the stones. Magic is in the relationship between object and person or person with person. Magic is in the interaction between beings or object and being. The stones/gems themselves don’t possess magic, much as medicine does not “contain” healing. Magic (rather, “magick”) must be manifest if it is to be.
I don’t know why I got there in the same places in my dreams like if i see a place in my dreams today and couple of days later I see another dreams with different place but I some how got back there in same place where I was in the dream that I have seen couple of days ago…it happened so many time… I just really need to know… and some dreams just make me so sick after awaking up from bed… and some dreams also came true like I have seen so many snake one day in my dream and then in the same place I faced so many snake in reality… though i just keep ignoring but I just wish to know whats just going on..
As I’m a heyoka, I just use the primordial force and use the darkness to put a shield around me if and one wants to do any harm they shall be cursed hahaha… It’s great manipulating the primordial force as it’s made up from darkness and light, that is why us sacred clowns coloured themselves in black and white to show we have the darkness and light at our hands.

Is it possible to be an empath, but without other’s vibes rubbing off on you, so you just are fine tuned to noticing them? I’ve noticed that with myself, but people’s vibes never seen to transfer to me because of it. That may be due to the fact that for whatever reason, I lack compassion, pity and sympathy for the most part, but am still fully able to put myself in someone’s state of mind or see things from their view, or make sense of things using their view. I am mentally empathic, but not emotionally, so to say? My family does have a history of psychopathy, so maybe I’ve inherited one or two traits from that which is the reason for the lack of emotional response from other’s energies. I’m highly objectively sensitive in a way I guess?
As an empath you have to be connected not only to humanity and feelings about humanity but animals too if you are eating meat you are not an empath imo. My husband and my children eat meat but that doesn’t make them bad people or empaths they just are not enlightened not all are. As an empath I feel such deep pain towards animals and people and I pick up on peoples moods that will drag me down with them too. It can destroy my day or sometimes your life if you are with wrong person. Blessings blessed be.
