If one day you are queuing up in a store and the person right behind you starts to open your heart, you feel an immediate connection with it and you even feel like you're living what it is tell and feel what she feels is that you are most likely an empath.
Such a concept is still debated in the scientific community but seems to be deeply rooted in the belief of many people, for the simple reason that these individuals with "superpowers" live among us. It may seem difficult to conceive, which is why we reveal to you 16 signs that will allow you to identify these unconventional humans.
1. They are very sensitive
This may seem like something negative when it is rather the opposite, this proves that you are still connected to the heart of the human experience. In a desensitized world, being considered sensitive is to be taken as a compliment.
2. They hate the lie
This is one of the key features of an empath: its ability to sniff out lies.
For someone who understands human nature as well, lying is absolutely useless and hurtful.
3. They are very impacted by the negative things
They are unable to read or see negative things and forget about them. They avoid as much as possible anything that can make them sad and inspire them with grief.
4. The crowd exhausts them
We can say that they are really versatile because both introverts and extroverts. However, as they absorb the energy of the crowd, the ebb of emotions often tends to exhaust them.
5. Helping others makes them happy
They feel indescribable peace and happiness when they help others. Empaths can clearly drop everything to help others.
6. They are wary of coffee and drugs
Empaths respond differently to stimulants such as caffeine and medications, which is why they avoid taking them.
7. They can only be themselves
They are unquestionably raw and honest and do not appreciate hypocrisy. They will love you as you are, so they embody true friendship.
8. They share the experiences of others
Empaths do care about everyone but are deeply connected to the people they are interested in, so that they can share your pain if you go through a bad patch.
9. They have a special relationship with animals
Empaths do not like to think of a creature as "a pet", because for them, the creature is rather part of the family. This is also why they do not like places like zoos and pet shops.
10. They are used to emotional and physical exhaustion
Carrying the weight of others' emotions, including their joys and sorrows, represents a heavy burden for the empath. This constant involvement in what others feel often leads to physical as well as emotional exhaustion, something that some people manage better than others.
11. They are very well advised
An empathy listens not only to every word you say to him, but puts himself squarely in your place. Nothing would be more unfortunate than to reject the advice of such special people, because they know what they are talking about and are investing in you to succeed in what you are doing.
12. They are easily distracted
Empathes even notice the little details that can escape a lot of people. They can not be indifferent to what surrounds them.
13. They do not tolerate narcissists in their lives
The narcissist is by definition the most repulsive person for an empath, the latter will not attempt anything to help him because he knows it's lost. Empathes have a tendency to attract narcissists.
14. They are hypersensitive to sound
From a sound point of view, they are easily disturbed. They operate on a particular frequency, which is why they do not like places with loud and constant noise.
15. They know how to listen perfectly
An empath can listen to anyone who needs to indulge, so what about a close person?
They are also able to listen without judging, so trust them, your words will not be in vain.
16. They have a strange effect on electronics
As bizarre as it may seem, empathes can cause disruptions in everything that is electrical, which can even cause malfunctions on a computer or phone for example.
This can be seen by some as something strange, rather like supernatural power by others. But the important thing in all of this is that, as an empath, you are proud to be able to dive so deeply into the human soul and you can also unburden others of their burden. Enjoy this gift and make good use of it!
