I Am An Empath

Self-proclaimed

By: vers
Written on November 16th, 2010
I am a self-proclaimed empath.  I can't help myself but feel and experience the stories as they are told or as i read them.  I wish absorbing their feelings somehow alleviates their pain or my listening somehow helps them. But one thing i know, doing so does to me, it helps me set aside my own.

    You can say you are self proclaimed but someone beat you to it.

    We.. that is humans are all born empathic.. however this also includes all mammals... so your pet goat is empathic as well.



    All mammals have an original primitive brain, the Limbic Brain and system. This how and why you feel what you do. The difference is in the amount of sensitivity you allow.. this is a choice.. something the pet goat has little of.

    I have felt that too. Sometimes their eyes speak more depth than their words. Actions may at times be deceiving, but the eyes never fail to reveal what is true.

    Yes, but i guess it has something to do with my asking too much questions! =)

    I agree. Do you find that people tend to talk to you more than normal about stuff? I tend to have alot of strangers and people open up and talk about things they would normally talk about. I'm sure that your listening does help. =)
