Understanding Empathy and Empaths

Many people are awakening to the fact that they are empathic, a gift that comes with sensitivity, introversion, and the ability to feel emotions of others easily. Empaths often struggle with anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed by the world. By recognizing themselves as empaths, they can accept and honor this gift, leading to greater happiness and peace in their lives. Empaths can easily identify with how others are feeling, often mistaking the feelings of others for their own. They need quiet time and solitude to recharge and avoid overwhelming situations like conflict or violence. Empaths commonly feel they don't fit in and don't understand the world in the same way as others. Identifying as an empath can turn this perceived challenge into a wonderful superpower.
