Are you an empath?

Highly sensitive people are also highly gifted. They are not dumb, emotional, nor childish, they simply feel deeply, see deeply, know deeply, and enjoy a deeper introspection of a matter, more than others can appreciate or wish to take on. ❁
🔸
Being aware of such sensitivity in oneself is a virtue, vs a problem. It's an understanding that honoring one's own space to heal from something, process, release, and evolve from it, is crucial for any chance of real resolution.
❁
Does it mean such people are weak? Not one bit.
Their deep sensitivity is to be respected, honored and acknowledged, not judged, criticized or made wrong/bad/negative/unproductive etc etc.
🔸
The main thing is for a highly sensitive one to respect this inside themselves, and avoid feeling wrong, even though they are very different than most people.
❁
It's the sensitivity that is at the root of their creativity, and innovations they can/are providing to this world.
🔸
To team up with such a person, means to acknowledge these traits and their needs, such that they can allow their gifts to flourish, vs die down due to hurt and pains from unconscious interactions with people.
❁
And for the sensitive one: it's important to strive for clear and open communication, never leave something unresolved, never go to sleep upset, honor your own needs, listen to the needs of others in order to make partnerships and relationships work well and last long.
🔸
For such people there is a fine line between building them up and breaking them down, and they are in this world as an opportunity for raising consciousness (in self and others), by requiring higher levels of awareness (from self and others) to deal with them.
❁
Handle them correctly- they will be loyal friends for life, and u will reap the benefits of their gifts. Mishandle them- and they will evaporate from ur life so quickly as if u/they never existed. Truth.
❁
Rule of thumb for such souls: make thy "pain" thy gift, learn to be secure and confident from within, and know that most people will not get you, and that it doesn't mean anything about you. 🔸
