It started when I heard other stories saying they were empaths, but I wasn't sure I was, so I thought there would be many internet sources that would say. So I searched up what one was, & it matched my personality, I checked this website, http://psychicempaths.blogspot.com/2008/08/are-you-empath-traits-of-empath.html
1) I can feel others emotion
2) I can understand others as I was them
3) A lot I'm emotionally expressive
4) I spend time, meeting others needs than my own. (Put others first).
5) I'm quite sensitive to violence, like I just hate arguments
6) I hate yelling but I talk loudly, not purposely
7) I'm sensitive to loud noises
8) I can sometimes feel pain if I see it
9) Distance doesn't matter, if I see pain
10) I do theorise in fixing problems in the world
11) I hate animal cruelty
12) I've got the ability to draw people to me, by the way I act
13) I like to know a lot about people
14) I do experience other physic abilities
But I don't/I'm not
1) A great listener
2) Have drastic mood swings
3) have day dreams that often
4) have that much trouble focusing
So that's it, this is what I compared on the website that gave me the definition. If any readers agree, or disagree, I don't mind & I'm happy to reply or participate in a discussion. But please no rude, nasty or insulting comments. Good luck!
