3) They love helping others

They enjoy being superheroes when they can. Likewise, they are also known to drop everything to go and help someone they love.

4) They are affected by the media

The negativity frequently portrayed by the media brings them down and makes it hard for them to watch. They, therefore, find themselves avoiding news channels, for example.

5) They love being around animals

Now, there are different types of empaths, and some of them love spending time around plants and animals. Immersing themselves in nature strengthens their connection with their emotions.

6) They often feel burned out

Whether it’s physically or emotionally, they find that carrying around other people’s emotions tires them out, and exhausts them.

7) They are always willing to listen

Their ability to understand other people’s feelings means that they are also great listeners. They are certainly amazing confidantes to their closest friends.

8) They hate crowded areas

Avoiding crowded places is essential for them because when they are surrounded by lots of people, they find themselves absorbing many sources of energy. Being constantly surrounded triggers the start of an emotional rollercoaster.

👉  Today, emotions are often related to weaknesses, and that’s why the gift of empathy is often seen as a curse, although, in reality, these people have huge hearts. If you recognize yourself in any of the descriptions above, you must learn how to protect your blessing and how to use it to your advantage, without it weighing you down.
