Being an empath stinks.........
It is a wonderful gift at times but also a curse at times..
When you feel anger and hurt from someone and dont know who and it effects you so bad that you start saying things that u would not normaly say thats when it is a curse and what a bad day i have had.......This has to be cut short see u later

Re: Being an empath stinks.........
Oh I understand what your saying, I get feelings twords others as well, so good its sickning. I remember living in vegas and if I would go into a casino, I would walk out of there a fire breathing dragon. I dont know why I did this probably from all the tension of everyone trying to win a few bucks LOL. I also can tell a persons attitude and lifestyle the second I meet them. And yes it can be frustrating, But its a wonderful gift you have and you gotta take the good with the bad. Hope all goes right tommorow, a new day ahead

Re: Being an empath stinks.........
I find this such an interesting gift and I can understand, from the way it's been explained to me, how it can be a curse at times. I have feelings like this for my kids, but have always considered it "motherly instincts".
Moon, I'm glad your day got better!
GB, that was hilarious about the fire-breathing dragon remark after leaving a casino.

I would think that until you get a full understanding and peace with the fact that you have this gift, you definately could feel it is a curse.

You wouldn't have this gift if you weren't strong enough to handle it. Try meditation. Find a way to keep your balance in life. The more balance you achieve for yourself among the elements, the less this facet of your existence will be able to cause disruption and distraction.

Re: Being an empath stinks.........
I understand how you feel moongast.. i to have that gift.. but i have choosen to accept it for what it really is a gift.. thoug im aware that it also for me can be a curse sometimes.. but thats ofcourse when i got hurt myself....
Today i know that i always have had the gift.. my hole life i saw right throug peoble.. i always saw the real persons behind their shields.because their feeling became mine..
I always wondered why peoble couldnt be honest to me because i felt at once if the didnt.. but at that time is just wasent aware of my empatich site...
Today the empatic site of me is so strong that i cry if i see a picture of a crying person... thats not always good...Im not good at coping others pains.And i know im not good enough to protect my self from them...
Maby you,r asking yourself why i see it as a gift then... well
the gift is that i can use this while im healing peoble and through this help them to a better understandig about themselves..when peoble seeks my advice i am able to ask the right questions because i feel what their problems are really about...So many peoble are hiding their bad selfconfidence or their broken hearts behind a shield or behind a tuff attitude.
I always thought i only could feel empatic for peoble close to me.. but reasently i understood that i was able to feel longdistance and even throug the internett ( LOL guys )
Re: Being an empath stinks.........
The way I have learned to controll it (once I recognized it for what it is) is to ask myself "is there a personal reason I feel this way?" And if my answer is no I do my best to block the emotions. It is a long process learning to recognize the difference between your emotions and someone elses. But, once you do, this ability becomes more and more of a gift. Now, to learn to put it to use helping other people.
Re: Being an empath stinks.........
Nurse that is such a wonderful way to control it and i do except it for i have had it all my life but at times it is hard to control it for me cause im still going througha lot myself but i do love haveing it cause like you said i can read people when i want to and sometimes even when i dont wont to, it has come i handey a lot of times and helped me.

((HUgs)) Moongast. I have recently picked some of this up off dh. I now know why he shuts things down and everything off.
My gift is intense and if I had dh's on top of it I don't think I could deal with both !!
I admire those of you that are empaths very much !
