There are definitely degrees of being an "empath", and I'm not sure if this causes or just intensifies it, but I don't think having a cancer rising helps, which I do, and it would be interesting to know how many of these "empaths" have that. :). LOL @ your opening comments BTW HA!
Im empathic too. It was very tough for me when i did not know why i had to feel every emotion around me to strongly. But when i learned to be strong and 'radiate' my own emotions (careful not to impose on other) it began to lessen the grasp of others emotions within me.
I used to be dark and cold (feeling of no emotion) to get away from every other emotion. Then, i began a quest for knowledge. I used my ability to learn from others experiences through the internet.
@enlightenmentation In doing so i grew more than my isolation could ever have taught me. i began meditation after deciding that every religion is right and wrong for different reasons depending on individuals experiences. and when i moved focus to science i learned that every human being has an electro-magnetic field (proportional to the earth's) around our bodys. Meditation then became my tool to strengthening my field, resulting in less and less emotional entropy.
thanks for ur video, for the last year and so i thought that i have social anxiety disorder, now that my awareness is awaken i have realized i am an empath.i almost have all the sign u said, its abit strange that i dont avoid being around ppl, i only seek privacy when im tired or my energy is drained, the energy level i draw from people around me is crazy high that my palm sweats,not sure if its a healing gift or a curse, as some ppl believe we can heal others by removing their pain,suggestions?
not all empaths are quiet and reserved. some of us who learned how to deal w it, are more of hand holding hippies lol for lack of a better descriptions
OMG to the tenth exponent! im one, been one all my life, its good at times but it mostly sucks crap. sniper shooting person= cry for about 2 hours, when i saw ur cat went hyper but when u said ur other cat died, omg! its like i went off a cliff, but u said that u got ur other cat everything wuz good.
Stop the war, stop the pain, let peace flow out, let it rain.
I feel what other people feeling sometimes and even get the impression(know) what people are thinking though those are rarer and other things like seeing the unseen with your mind. I've realized that we are connected with everybody else and people are already interacting with one another on sub conscious level. I'm religious as well and for a reason and I put everything to God.
Great video. Good to know there are others talking about this. Just one point - you shouldn't refer to 'symptons' of being an empath, but rather 'characterisitics'. Being an empath is not to have a condition, about 15-20% of people are empaths. In certain cultures it's not exactly appreciated though, as we all know. Would I be correct to say that English speaking cultures are particularly bad with it? Being in the UK and being a male empath it seems true to me.
I have known I'm an Empath for a couple of years, before that I could not really put a name to it. I have been feeling things since I was a little girl, I could always pick up on spirits and others emotions. Another thing is I have Fibromyalgia, and when I heard you mention it I was really in shock! The ability runs in my moms side of the family, along with Fibro. This video has truly changed my life, because I can now understand what is really going on and why I get panic attacks in crowds.
Q. Do you think that it's possible that everyone has the ability to do this, but alot of them stop themselves from doing so because they're either scared or too busy with their own ego, hey? Hey-hey! Sweet like candyfloss!! Peace and harmony (unity even) to you...
- um i dunno - without even ,previously living through their specific situation. I do have something to add ,though: I have had the misfortune to have grown up in a controlling and abusive environment and I found that it's like mixing sugar and sardines... and coming up with dynamite (or depressiion) like as if it were true that I was (according to them) too sensitive or somethin .
Hi, thanks for that - alot - this is the first time I've ever heard of this ...I was looking for "how flowers deal with controlling people" and , anyway, it makes alot of sense to me - inasmuchas I have often felt real emotion from other people's situations and seeing (sort of tuning in to) ,er the way they feel (about them), or , maybe if there is some link about how I would feel if I were in their position, myself -
just recently learned that i had a name for what i was feeling all my life, nice to know that others are an emapth like myself, just wish i knew earlier in my life. i am now 36 years old and only last week i learned the word empath, thanks to watching a t.v. show called paranormal activity and words by michelle belanger. wish i could speak to her about all my questions, somehow i know that i will...thanx aurorasping
Hey, I've kind of gone from being an extrovert to an introvert after coming to terms with myself kind of... I'm scared to open up my emotions and project them for fear of being different. I keep trying to focus above it but I just can't stomach it. Do you have any advice? I started like thinking about everything and being more sympathetic rather than just projecting the feeling.
well i am an empath i just realized it about a few months ago, like i knew something was up, but i just didnt have the word 4 it..i guess thats y i dont like malls and stuff, but its funny i'm actually very outgoing and friendly, and ppl seems to b always drawn 2 me, and feel like they knew me 4eva. but i constantly feel ppls emotions and i almost neva watch the news bcuz i get extremely upset, and at times i just want 2 b alone and i keep friends at a distance...weird huh?
Just feel/sense your shield sliding off you like a sheet of cloth. Step out of it and let it go back to whence it came. ( how often does a person get to use the word whence? )
Can anyone please give me an answer how to did you deal with this kind of feeling and how did you change yourself to belong with anyone?? I would appreciate if anyone will give me an answer.. Thanks!!! I like the Video cause i can relate myself.
great! i have a question, because of the overwhellming of so many emotions and the fatigue of it, i found a way to create a shield but now i cant find a way to be able to get out of this shield, i think is because i use it like a very long time, is like sometimes i can get someones emotions but i have to concentrate to get them, before it was so easy but so exhausting, i even had headaches for weeks, so if anybody knows how to control or to find a balance with this, please tell
@petacas10 I struggle from a similar problem. After I learned to shield, I found it dificult to unsheild myself. I'm afraid I don't have a clear anwser to this. Now my abilities are more unpredictable but still responsive.
@auroraspring thanks, this is a very difficult thing to control, but i found out that if you meditate it helps to create a balance between you and the other emotions, u should try it out, hope it would help with u :), im still practicing this meditation thing but it had help, :) thanks for the video makes u feel that your not alone in this empath thing
@auroraspring Hey, I struggled with the exact same problem! Whenever you do manage to unsheild yourself, attach yourself to that persons emotions to senitise yourself. That's what I did. It's easiest to do this with a family member since you can hang around them longer without seeming like a creeper. Lol!
@petacas10 i was very uncomfortable with my empathy as young kid and i developed very layered shields. I have started to dismantle them but its taking a while. I found certain emotions or memories of my own were woven into the layers of my shield. I have to make an effort to sit down and process these emotions and i can feel the layers of the shield peel away.
bombard is the word and a perfect explnation, i too am an empath, and its not pleasent in large groups. and yes fatigue... and yes we are good listeners, ty for confirming this for me :)
As far as your video icons go- isn't there a setting somewhere in uploading the video that gives you three different options of photos you can put as the icon? (You might even be able to upload a photo). I am not sure, but I thought that was the case.

Why dont you describe what happens when you get a vibe. Do you just sense the emotions through your thoughts? I get physical sensations.
