You care too much about other people, even to your own detriment.
Strangers will tell you their life story and say: I don’t know why I am telling you, but I feel I can. They also tend to offload their problems onto you and you may be too polite to tell them to stop.
You will feel lonely, even when around others. The sense of loneliness of being an Empath doesn’t come from being alone, it comes from not being able to talk to others about what you are feeling and feeling there are no answers to your questions.
You may suffer from attention deficit disorder. (ADD) You may easily get drawn into feelings and emotions that come up seemingly randomly. Next thing you know, you are somewhere else and you’ve lost track of what was going on.
If you are naturally psychic, being an Empath will give you additional information about places, people and events.
When someone else has a bad day, you have a bad day in sympathy.
You take on guilt very easily, even for things that you did not do.
You will do anything to keep the peace. Any tension will make you feel very stressed and you can’t relax until everyone else is happy.
Even if you enjoy a particular activity, you won’t enjoy it if the people around you are not into it. You would rather do it on your own or something else.
You can’t bear to see other people or animals in suffering or in pain.
You can always tell when someone is lying. You are a human lie detector.
You find it very difficult to say ‘no’ when someone asks you for help. Many Empaths get treated like a doormat. They don’t want to upset others or make them feel bad by refusing help
You like giving surprise gifts and making others happy just for the sake of it. If they feel good, you feel good, even if it’s just for that moment.
You suffer from anxiety for no apparent reason. Sometimes the feelings will be overwhelming, especially when something major is going on in the world. Stock market crashes are often a bad time for Empaths.
You suffer from clinical depression and mood swings and have no idea why.
You often feel overwhelmed by events and emotions, sometimes to the point where you short out and stop feeling anything at all.
Holidays, such as Christmas, are a very bad time for you. You often feel sad and lonely.
You will always give the benefit of the doubt to someone, just in case they really didn’t mean to say or do something you consider hurtful or negative.
You may suffer from seasonal depression. Autumn might make you feel especially depressed.
You might find you are very psychic, picking up on people and events before they even happen.
You suffer from social anxiety and find it hard to be around people, especially if you feel you shouldn’t be there. Parties are hard and tedious and nightclubs are like a living hell for you.
You want to save the world, but feel too depressed and despondent to do it.
If you hear of someone who is having a hard time, or is unlucky in life or love, you want to just save them and make them happy.
You cry when watching romantic movies, even if they are really bad ones, and you feel embarrassed about doing so.
Old songs make you sad. You long for those past times, even if they were horrible at the time.
You just know things. Even things that no one has never told you. You don’t know how you know them, but you just do.
You don’t know where your feelings end and others begins. You may not even be aware that they are not your feelings.
If someone tells you about their pain or sickness, you will sympathy pains.
You feel constantly exhausted. Chronic fatigue is a reoccurring problem for you.
You are drawn to new age things, especially alternative medicines.
You are extremely creative, though you may feel embarrassed about sharing that part of you in case others reject it or make fun of it.
You may well feel at one with nature. Cities are very hard to live in due to all the psychic pollution that is about.
You are always seeking knowledge. You may not even know what you are looking for, but you look for it anyway.
You daydream a lot. Go on adventures in your mind. This can happen anywhere and anytime.
You can sense the energy of food. You can tell if it feels healthy or not. You are also drawn to bad foods that make you feel good, such as chocolate or sugary treats.
People may consider you strange, aloof or indifferent.
You may have difficulty urinating in public, especially if you feel under pressure. If someone is waiting, you will give up and try to find a place that isn’t being used.
You attract sociopaths and narcissists into your life that will use and abuse you. They will convince you that you are the one who is wrong.
