I understand completely, and it's nice to read an account which reminds me of my own.  |

I do understand. And I can relate. I think the worst years for me were during my teens, at school. I was surrounded by so many of the natural negative emotions that other teens suffer from, that it was almost more than I could stand. I also battled depression, till I was in my 20's. Funny thing though, when I got into Nursing, I found it to be a benefit. Instead of being drawn into pain, or grief, I found that my education made it possible for me to help. And, yes, it does make it easier to tell when people are being false with us. The secret for me was to learn it was not me personally, they were simply unhappy with life.  |

Also-I would imagine it is harder for a Male to be an Empath, than a Female. Society gives we Females a certain freedom of emotion(s) that are denied to Males. Therefore, when we act sensitve, or out-of-sorts to others, it is allowed somewhat. Maybe even expected. This is an excellent post, my friend..... |

What you needed to do was seperate your feelings with that of your enviorment. I've often heard and said to my self "Why is this person telling me all this", strangers. Try learning completly on your own with no one to talk to. Realize that recieving feelings and vibes arent the only thing you can do. Once you aced and stabled yourself try send out that energy - make people feel things. Instead of telling a story make them feel it. It's really bound by no limits, cept your imagination. Shouldnt label yourself an empath cause your probably can do so much more if you tried.   |

You will also notice if not already that as you grow up and learn you will atract certain people with the same experiences. Its kind of like the cosmos giving you a friend to help you out. |

If you have grown up with it, and you have fully developed, it is not that bad. Just if the flood gates open up suddenly one day, I would imagine that it would be rather harsh.  |

i was born an empath and as ive gotten older ive noticed the ability is hightened, and if im in a crowded area i'll feel what everyone is feeling. Sometimes I'll find myself looking at a random person and suddenly feeling my heart breaking for them bcause I can just feel their heart is broken...even watching TV....a documentary that might make a normal person shake their head and say "thats a shame" will leave me a crumpled sobbing lump. Its been good but its also been bad. I have too much compassion sometimes for people, and have allowed myself to be walked on over and over because i can feel exactly why theyre abusive towards others, so while theyre hurting me i feel extreme pity for them because i can almost see the events in their own lives that hurt them to such a degree that caused them to go out and treat others the same way. i can see my oldest son, whos almost 5, is an empath too. I need to learn how to get rid other's emotions so I can teach him. I guess this could explain why im instantly angry/depressed/miserable when im around certain people.  |

I know exactly what you mean, I am the same way. Just earlier today I was reading the stories about Neesha, and I started crying so hard, I felt all the pain and sadness from everyone here. Sometimes I get so confused cause I don't know if what I am feeling is really what I feel, or if it is coming from someone around me. Sometimes it gets really embarrising cause I will be watching something on tv with my partner and I will just start crying for no apparent reason and she thinks that she has done or said something wrong. It is a gift, but also a curse.  |
