I'm a 14 year old girl in high school. I found out that I was an empath last year. I had the "symptoms" I guess you could say. When I was in the 6th grade my left arm was numb and my heart felt kind of weird. I knew that was how you felt when you have a heart attack. I didn't have one. Then I began to tell when my friends are down and when they wanted to cry but they had a smile.
Also when everyone was depressed over something- so would I but I had no reason to be depressed. Then I somehow got a scar on my arm I didn't do anything. I like being an empath because it helps a lot of my friends, I can relate to them and understand them a lot better than anyone else could. Then I began to have head aches. I would ask someone if they had it and yes. I searched "feeling others feelings and pain" and I found "empath" as the result. I can only "feel" the feelings of love, anger, and sadness. The main 3 emotions. I still think it's a curse but the only reason I think that is because I don't know how to control it. I really need help. I need to get these under control. I need help before collage because I need to focus on my grades -I need to think about my school work. I really need help. Please...
Gl to you if you have questions about something of it feal free to ask me even if there are 2 years passed
