Are You An Empath? If Yes, How Much
If you are wondering whether or not you are an empath, how much empathy affects your emotions?
I was wondering why I should pay attention to the question, that am I an Empath?
Well, suppose you pay attention to emotional management, relationships, mental health, and your psyche. In that case, you probably want to know about empathy and how significant it is to balance your empathy, and more importantly, how much is dangerous it could be if there is an imbalance in you?
Since I started to learn emotional management, I found that many people are not obvious when defining empty and core traits of empaths.
The more and more I read about empathy, I found that people give you a philosophy:
What is empathy and
What is an empath person, and nobody is giving you the exact answer:
Are you an empath or not?
Are you strong enough to manage such a sensitive emotion?
So I tried to answer that question and find out whether you are an empath or not?
“Empathy is about standing in someone else’s shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place.”
Daniel H. Pink
An empath person is highly affected by other people’s emotions, energies, actions, thoughts, and feelings.
An empath can feel another person deeply, a connecting ability, a clone feeling, same pain in two different hearts, and one thought in two utterly different brains, at their best connection.
Not everyone had their best connection of empty, and people fall between a limit, let’s say zero to 10.
Well, in a romantic way, this could be an ideal situation in a love story.
But in the real world, this could be a nightmare because we are surrounded by loving and caring and also surrounded by highly toxic and manipulative people. And these people are the main reason why we should learn emotional intelligence to deal with this sensitive emotion called empathy.
People with a high level of emptiness at their best connection have many physical, psychological and emotional disorders. High level of depression, stress, chronic fatigue, and unexplainable mental states are common problems, and their best connection, let’s say 8, 9, and 10.
Excess of every emotion is terrible. We all are unique personalities and how our creator made us. We should understand other feelings and try to connect with them people at a level that is not unnatural.
Can we feel the same pain as a person who is suffering from a dreadful disease? Of course not, because we are not designed to feel that way.
Yes, we have care and love for that person, and we do everything in our power to help that person. But the connection at their best level won’t help that person recover, but probably the other person will be occupied by the same or similar disease soon.
Some people say that this is the emotion that makes the world a better place. I don’t think it is the right way to say that because they are not defining the boundaries of that emotion. A weapon in a child’s hand is always dangerous, no matter how difficult the situation is. An emotionally weak person can’t get benefit from this empathetic emotion.
If you an empath and looking to balance your empathy, here are some steps you can take to settle your emotional level:
- Learn to say “NO.”
- Define your boundary boundaries and stick to them.
- Spend time alone. ( you can read my article benefits of being alone)
- Make meditation your habit.
- Writing your feelings is the best practice to balance your emotions.
