Ok, I need a little help with this. I need to know if these experiences fit the bill of an empath or not, as I'm getting really confused. Something I have always known is that I cannot get hyper on my own. I can have as much sugar or soda as I want and never ever get hyper or get affected by it. But once I'm around people that are hyper, I tend to get REALLY bouncy and such. It only happens when other people are hyper, which is weird :/ Some other random occurances have happened. I will have MANY moodswings, and I will be my normal self, then bitchy, then hyper, then depressed all in the matter of minutes. Half the time I have no idea why I am that way and it feels like they're not my own emotions. I can never pinpoint where they come from, though. Or I'll be talking to my friends, and I feel like someone's annoyed at me. I ask my friends, and they keep reassuring me that they're not annoyed at me, but I still get the sense someone is annoyed. After I found out something about some friends that made them very happy, I got a huge wave of grief. I honestly could not control my emotions, it was so great. I know a little bit why I was feeling that way, but I don't know why it was so strong. It really confused me, as I had no real reason to feel THAT strongly. I don't know who it could be from, though, as everybody else was fine with it but me :/ Another thing is that I can't pick up specific people's emotions except for one. See, it feels like I have some sort of connection to they guy I like who is becoming a good friend of mine. Let me tell you straight off that he almost never shows any emotion except bleh, tired, and hyperness, and that some of my friends who are empaths are blocked from him emotion wise. A few times during class when I was sad, I would notice him looking at me and could feel that he was worried, though he never said anything out right. I can also tell when he's telling the truth or keeping something from me for the most part, which I can't do with many people. Also, when I would cry, he wouldn't say much, but I'd know he was comforting me and meant every word he said. This has also happened numerous times over the internet, which I can't feel many emotions from any other person. So, what do you guys think?
Oh this happens to me sooo often... and it gets so weirs at times that you only wish to get rid of it...And what's worse, is that I have to, i simply cannot help myself, i have to absorb grief and pain from others, it's not controlled, i simply take it in. And it's frustrating to see how much grief there really is. And it happens over the internet too...it's like i can see through the letters, the person who wrote it, the face of the one who wrote it. And then I dream the people i care about, whenever they're in need I dream about them. This is empathy and it's freaking rare, hold on to it and help as much as you can.
Hi Barunesusa My daughter asked me one day if she could wear all her clothes in her closet to school. I replied yes dear. She ran off to get ready for school, as I finished packing lunches, and folding laundry. Her sisters, and I were in the car, and waiting as she came out with several layers of clothes on. Skirts over pants dress over skirt. Shirts, and sweaters, and at least four pair of socks on an carrying her shoes. She had a bag of other clothes with her, and I was at a loss for words. Her sister asked her, "Whats the point jelly bean." Thats was my daughters nick name. She replied. Its appreciation day at school, and I appreciate all I have, and after watching a movie the other day where a child had no clothes, I wanted to make a BIG POINT( as she spread her arms out wide.) I looked at her sisters, and we jumped out of the car ran in and dressed in several layers of clothes from our closets, and filled a bag, and was a half hour late getting to school. We sure looked strange going in the door. The office asked us what the point was, and Jelly Bean repeated her point. A large box was gotten, and an assembly was announced, and we stood on the stage taking layer after layer off, and asking for donations for those who had nothing, when we had so much. A school break was called, parents were called, and two hours later we had more donations than the stage could hold. Jelly Bean made a point the only way she knew. By what she had, and what was in her. Your post reminded me of this because you see an empath is one who feels what others feel. The challange is when we get attached we can be coming from emotional layers only, or from what we do not need to keep us centered inside the point of being an empath. An Empath is in charge of, and responsable for what they take unto their own actions, and reactions. Sometimes you are not here to save the world, but to help embrace the truth that we are our own centers, healers, and Spirits inside asking for a way to make a difference in, and around us. An empath can drown in the emotional layers, and never move beyond this point, or can watch with awareness the depth we as humans need to go to save ourselves, and become the compassion we are reaching for. As you move with accountability, responsability, and detachment to the emotional change, you find a power within you to make a difference by responding to the higher self, and the reason we are here. To grow, and face ourselves in a million ways, and places. Take the knowledge you get, and let it teach you wisdom, and truth. Develope your own inner awareness, and become the love, and bridge you are by being whole, not consumed by the emotions, and fires or storms around you. One student stood on the stage at school, and just said WOW, Wow, Wished I had thought of that. Wow. As long as we do not get blown away by the WOW's we can be accountable for the seeing through the layers, and touch with purity the heart of all in one place just by being you. Become the healer inside the compassion these places honor you with by showing you we are all connected with an intimacy we can not sometimes explain. This was just one layered vision letting us know there are more that reach into the core of our being. You came through to be an energy healer, and yet find sometimes you run from the very things that take you in. Your own path needs you, as much as you need your own path. An Empath walks often the middle way, so they do not loose their way while seeing the truth, and helping the greater masses to find what they are looking for. A reason for being here in just such a place, and time as the awareness in, and around us matures to the next layer, and age coming. An old saying that feels sometimes like an Empath's prayer or mantra, goes like this; {I am what I can not see, for what I see I do not always know. Let me embrace both sides as one with inner eyes what the visions behold, so that what I see will not cling on to me, but with compassion hold. }
Wow is all I can say xD Thank you so much. I got slightly confused, but in time, I think it will make sense. You seem like a really wise person ^^
