What Is An Empath?

Empath is a person who can feel the emotions of other people. They’re endowed with an almost extra-sensory sensitivity level that most other people don’t have. Empaths filter the world through this faculty and always look a level beyond what most other people see. They can sense the motivations and energies behind what people are saying and doing.

They tend to have a hard time with people who are fake or lie because they can sense it.

How can empaths control their empathy if it becomes too much for them to handle mentally?

I think people don't know what they feel anymore. Feelings have become something foreign in this world of imaginary reality.

“I think that’s what’s wrong with the world; no one says what they really feel, they always hold it inside. They’re sad, but they don’t cry. They’re happy, but they don’t dance or sing. They’re angry, but they don’t scream. Because if they do, they feel ashamed and that’s the worst feeling in the world. So everyone walks with their heads down and no one sees how beautiful the sky is..”

I allow people to use my soft heart, to the point of rudeness. I know, they think I'm a naive fool, but they are unaware that they are letting an empath into their mind and consciousness.

Everything has a price.😏
