I'm so glad I found out where I fit in.
I always tought I'm the only one like this! I tought I might have the hero complex or something. But now I know 1000% that I'm actually very empathetic!
Since I was young life made me more and more empathetic. I think this is a good thing as well as it is a bad thing.
I completely relate to the fact that I always want to help and If I can't I will feel drained, destroyed.
When it rains, I always get the snails out of the road so ppl don't step on them, etc!
And the most improtant part is the fact that I like helping the most when ppl don't know I did it. I don't like the attention or I don't want ppl to feel like they owe something to me.
Thank you for this videoI feel understood in a deep level

Yesterday I was going on a promenade on the driving road to a nature reserve to recover new energy. On the road, I saw a butterfly that was dead. I felt sad I saw that and thought should I have laid it on the grass so it can rest there? Also, it is horrible to see these animals who have been killed on the drive road. Last year a dead bird was beside my bicycle I get so sad I just felt that I wanted to bury it in the right place. I did bicycle to that animal place where they bury them. I called the number that was on the animal funeral place and asked if the bird was in the right place. He answered that is was a protecting bird and said it can not be burrade there. Then he said it was kind of me to call and ask. I just lay that bird outside the animal funeral place.

Well I learned to set boundaries to keep myself from going insane and learned that taking an active role in controlling a conflict (often as an intermediry) helped to resolve it most favorably for everyone involved so my conflict aversion left over a decade ago. But number 9 hit hard because even through intuiting what feels like someone's entire being in a very compressed period of time and getting told constantly how close peopel are to you with some expectation of reciprication (in deep friendships) that quite frankly isn't there because while I know and understand them I rarely feel a personal connection because most of what I intuit feels more clinical and mechanical these days (in my 30s) than when I was much younger.

The last one is definitely me. I have a friend who has one really bad parent and one that has good intentions but isn't the best when it comes to parental care. It's gotten to the point where I want to punch their mum whenever I see her at our school. I've even made a plan where as soon as they turn 18 they're coming to live with me, whether I'm living with my parents or not. I feel like I need to help them because no one else will/can. I want to just consensually kidnap them (because we both want me to be able to scoop them up and take them home. I sometimes joke about 'Oh someone is picking me up today you should just hop in my car and come home with me' but I wish that I wasn't joking

The most difficult thing on being an empath is that I feel a physical pain of people who are closest to me. Not literarily like my boyfriend hits his head and I feel it. But when someone I love tell me they feel sick, bad or are in a strong pain, I start to feel extremely uncomfortable and often physically sick or dizzy myself. A silly example would be that I hate when my boyfriend gets drunk and has a hangover the next day I always feel sick with him. Simply, any kind of physical discomfort makes me extremely uncomfortable. Such as big crowds, chaotic places, arguments of crying people.

Just getting through a divorce with a narcissist I find myself keeping my distance from people. Im hoping this subsides but its really tough. Thats one of the hardest parts of being an empath is narcissistic people are drawn to you. One interesting thing about being an empath is you know rather quickly someones strengths and weaknesses. No matter how people wrong me I cant bring myself to break them down even though I have the Ammo to do so. The pain I feel from deeply hurting someone is just as bad as the pain from how they wronged me. Does anyone else feel that way

Crowds, in and of themselves, don't bother me. I can step on a light rail full of people during rush hour just trying to get home, or enjoy a concert at the state fair if I'm interested in the person or band that's performing. One thing I don't have is my mother's claustrophobia or agoraphobia.
But many of the other things fit. I'm no fan of conflict. Someone recently snapped at me in one of the most trusted spaces I could be in, and I didn't say a word to her. I just never went back to anymore of those meetings and eventually left the group in writing.

Ive always known I was an empath since I was a little girl. Sadly, all these traits fit me, especially the bad ones. Sometimes, I can feel an emotion in me from behind me. Someone is walking behind me and I can already feel the emotion inside them. Some people know about this and treat me like a fool. They think its impossible to feel other peoples emotions, yet the very few of us here know thats not true. I also often draw people without smiles or frowns, just a line. What Im trying to say is, empath or not, try to understand others.

Legitimate empaths are rare. Probably why Im the only one in any friends group I have thats an empath, although my mother and sister are both empaths as well. What about you? Do you know any empaths? Are you an empath? If you clicked on this video, its likely that youre one. I dont know how to explain this, but basically you may want to confirm your suspicions. That was a bad explanation, but its just one of those cases where you just understand that thats true, if you know what I mean. Anyways, have a good day!

If you are similar with the term dark empaths, and if I say dark is 0% and normal/light is 100%,
I would say I am like 75%
I resonate with all the things said in this video, although I have grown out of the 'being unable to not care' period and when someone does bad things to me, I won't hesitate to use my skills against him/her.
But don't het me wrong, I only do this when people repeatedly and intentionally hurt me.
As the 75% says, my what people would call good side takes the upper hand.

Only at the age of 42, I learn about HSP and Empaths. It does explain a lot about myself and my past experiences. However, I am extremely frustrated and alone, because no one I know truly understands me. After many many years of struggling and facing different trauma, I have developed severe social anxiety and clinical depression. Since this is not known in the field of psychology (where I live, no one knows how to help. My whole life, I've never felt understood and now I am still misunderstood

I used to check all the boxes, but Id say Ive mastered my empathy in a way that it doesnt affect me badly anymore and I am an even better support for others. What I still find difficult though is to be understood by people. I can litterally count the times when someone gave me empathetic advice. It felt like finally being able to breathe. Empathy is a gem indeed. I think the reason that its so important for me to give it is because I know what its like to miss it.

Man, no wonder I know and have many friends that talk to me a lot. Also I do get eaten up when I cant help things in pain. It feels like I I can rarely control it, and when the bell rings it over loads my brain with thoughts, and I am a gifted learner, which being a empath at the same time is like knowing to much about the person you just met. It has its ups and downs.

I think i was once an empath, but the world ruined me.
So, i might be a ruined empath.
(i just created a new empath type lmao)
A person, who once was an empath, but has met with so many traumatic events and toxic people that it just drained empathy out of them.
I still have something of an empath left in me, but less and less as the time goes on.

I think I am a psychopath.
Let me explain. To avoid conflict, I wear masks in front of people. In order to not offend someone, I feign similar opinions. I hate it. Only in front of a few people can I really be myself. Its not called being careful or being considerate. I dont have a spine to tell them I disagree. But I always want others to have a spine.

yes and I hate it because of the amount of times I get used by people to help themselves. I've learned to set boundaries with the degree of insecurities another person has so not to bring me down or get myself fall for them for end result of allowing myself to get hurt because they weren't what really want in my life.

Interesting
I seems many people In the comments section seem to be rather confident in being empaths
I get the sense that people are mistakening being an empath with being a person of great integrity
I think the concept of empathy runs much deeper than just being a really nice person

Thankfully I am not the kind of person described in this video. I have empathy, but not necessarily empathy acting out. I have strong boundaries and I can completely shut out other people. However, I would be happy to have a partner with this kind of empathy. I would definitely cherish it!

I think the reason why I am so empathetic is because I am never empathized with or understood. I am always underappreciated and feel judged. Because I know what that's like, I never want anyone else to feel the same way, so I give much more than I take in some of my friendships.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I am an empath since I usually just block out all of my feelings when a lot of negative emotions surround me. But I do remember crying rivers upon just hearing a sad song a few years ago, so at least I'm quite sensitive or used to be a sensitive.

Ok, I fit quite a few of these. But at the same time, if it all becomes to much for me, I can get snappy and downright cruel, really not caring about others. only later will the guilt take effect. what does this make me? Just an impulsive teen or? bcs I'm getting concerned.

Everything are true! Except for the crowded places. I'm introverted but do like going to crowded places like festivals, night markets or some events without any friends and I don't even interact with others. I just like to be there and move to one place to another.

Really good video!
I kinda stop being an empath due to my environment who's a bit agressive and people see myself as a cold person. But sometimes, I can't stop my true nature to show up. I think this is good to be an empath, and a burden as the same time.

I dont want to call myself an empath incase Im wrong, but I dont know how to explain it but it just hurts so much and is so overwhelming when I cant help someone or fix something when I know somethings wrong and I just think its so painful sometimes
