Most of the time, we don't just feel our personal emotions, we also feel the emotions and feelings of others. Generally, empaths people are creative, compassionate, and spiritual beings. However, being spiritual does not necessarily mean being a believer. It simply means being open to the forces or energies we feel in our environments.

Empaths sense the world around them and sense what others are experiencing through their highly developed senses and intuition which they use. "Empathetic people naturally want to absorb the pain of others into their own flesh in order to provide relief” (Dr. Orloff, 2020). You feel responsible for the well-being of those around you. You try hard not to take things so seriously, to ignore them, but you can't!

From this, one would wonder if having empathy is a sign of weakness or at least a particular specialty that makes the person a pleasant being.:

Is it wrong to be an empath? 

Based on my research on a  question-answer web_ QUORA, I have come to get some ideas from different people pertaining to this context. Some people sucked in the positive wind on this point, others quite the opposite. 

This is the case of Natalia Henry, an Indonesian  -Senior Secretary, Esthetician, who reveals to us the way in which her empathy helps her to understand herself while understanding others. She is grateful for this liver blessing that she says is essential in her life -

As for Britany Young, a former researcher and entrepreneur presented her remarks from another angle. According to her, being an empath would be a great asset for your predator , because he/She would use this point to further weaken or manipulate you -

However, with these two points, being empathetic is not as bad as it sounds. But rather, it would be better if this situation operated in a moderate climate. Neither Britany nor Natalia are not wrong in what they approve or deny. It would be better to balance both sides to live your life in a much more satisfactory area.

What are the traits that reveal a very empathetic person?

1. You always tend to exercise your creativity.

No matter how you prefer to express your creativity, you have an active need to express yourself through a creative medium. Empaths thrive on creativity and have an artistic streak.

2. Other people's moods easily impact you

You feel what other people feel, and you are quickly influenced by their mood, whether good or bad.

3. You avoid large crowds.

Crowds generate a large amount of energy which is automatically absorbed by empaths. When you are in a large crowd, you become emotionally and mentally drained.

4. Nature is a means of healing.

When you are in nature, hiking, camping, or anything else, you feel a strong presence: That of healing. Nature has the power to rejuvenate you and bring you back to earth.

5. You don't like frivolous conversations.

For an empath, frivolous conversations are considered a waste of time. Even if you are polite when you meet someone, you don't feel like talking about the good times and the gossip. You want to tackle a really interesting subject.

6. You tend to feel what other people feel.

Because of your empathy, you are sensitive to other people's emotions and can really feel what they are feeling. It is not unusual for you to be in a situation where you have a clear sense of how people are feeling. without talking to them.

7. You are emotionally overwhelmed

Empaths can easily find themselves overwhelmed by their own emotions. If you can absorb the emotions of others, that means yours are even stronger.

8. You need some time alone.

Empaths need time for themselves to recharge their batteries. Spending time with others is something you enjoy doing. But it can also be exhausting because you absorb other people's emotions like a sponge.

9. You avoid confrontation

Confrontation can be extremely exhausting for an empath, especially if it takes place between friends, so you try not to take sides.

10. You value personal connections

If you are an empath, creating a personal connection with others is a precious expression. Not everyone cares about creating a special connection with the people around them. But you do - and that indicates that you are an empath.

Spec-Tacular mind Opinion

Being an empath is not at all negative, but you must set your own boundaries on how much you attempt to assist others to prevent placing yourself in risky situations. Empaths possess the capacity to both perceive and experience other people's emotions. An empath is hard to fool, yet it's crucial to learn when and how to say "no."
