That is called transference - it typically happens when you assume and don't validate a relationship or when you try to fill the void of e.g. a loss or need for certain qualities or characteristics through implying those on a certain someone in your life... 😅

i think one thing tht rly sucks about being an empath is constantly thinking people are always putting in the same amount of time, effort, and energy into something that you do, but never really receiving it from anybody. another thing tht is rly hard is constantly questioning if people have the right intentions i.e aren't narcissistic sociopaths trying to use you for their own personal gain.

Having empathy is a beautiful quality, being able to understand other people's feelings and what they are going through... but being an empath goes beyond that. It's absorbing other people's energies and experience their emotions just as if we were going through the same ♡ sending love to all those empaths here, you are amazing !

Being a highly sensitive empath is truly amazing. I wouldn't want to be anything more or less, I love people. But my "cup" is often times too much for anyone else to hold or, much less fill. I think that is one of the most hurtful things, you looooove understanding others but you crave understanding from others ( it is nice and its so rare that it can feel uncomfortable when you're not prepared for it cause you're so not used to it)

Omg yes about the part about people opening up. Literally even in the first hour that I’ve met them. It can be so overwhelming, even though I am happy that I provide safety for folks. But it really does get exhausting over time. Especially since almost no one is able to return that level of listening and comfort for you. 😩

Being an empath definitely helps in career choices that focuses solely on the helping of others. Like social work. It also encourages me, as a social work student, to not only want to help and heal the client but also understand where it all started and the root of where it grew from. If that makes sense. Loved your video. #NewSubbie

I really like your videos that revolve around mental health, Amy! 😌 However, a disclaimer; not meant as hate and not aimed at anyone in particular: just because someone is an “empath” it does not mean they are a HSP (highly sensitive person). Furthermore, “empath” is also not an official label named in the DSM (diagnostic statistical manual of mental disorders). So people please don’t go and diagnose yourself: leave that to a clinical psychologist please. The reason I’m posting this comment is because in this day and age, psychological self-help and diagnosis is getting more and more popular. I get so agitated sometimes when people go and label or diagnose themselves. It seems so many people nowadays easily call themselves “depressed” or “OCD” while in reality, these are serious and severe mental illnesses and people actually suffer from them more than others might realize, and on top of that, words like “depression” or “OCD” or “trauma” are extremely overused.

People opening up to me is something that I actually always liked/enjoyed. A lot of times whenever I myself open up to others and think that they will care, they usually end up not giving a damn about my feelings in the same way that I would care about theirs. So whenever some people that I know feel like they can trust me with their emotions, it makes me so happy. One of my colleagues recently opened up to me and told me that they felt like I was a genuine person and essentially feel safe expressing themselves to me. And if I can be that person for others, then I will be. Theres nothing worse than feeling alone in the world and that no one cares about you or wants to hear you. Although I will admit that it's sometimes too much for me, especially when I'm going through my own depression and self-doubt.

OMG i'm so shocked I feel like you finally put a word on something I'm struggling to describe since almost 10 years. I could recognize myself in all the statements you made and especially how as kids we can blend into the emotions of others and it can create a sense of identity loss. I didn't understand why I was like this, why I felt other people emotions so hard and deeply inside of me and why I was struggling with my identity as if I was just a collage of every person around me. But this finally make sens omg I can't thank you enough for this you're an amazing person and you really do change lives with your words.

as a person who is also REALLY sensitive, i just gotta say moving through the world as a self identified 'empath' is such bullshit to me. i completely understand why people resonate with it because it is extremely difficult navigating the world with heightened emotions, so its easy for us to want to grab on to the experience about being an empath. but for me, navigating these overwhelming emotions meant to understand them NOT under the scope of an empath. it took me a while to realise all that emotional baggage wasn't some enlightenment to the world and other people, but it was just that, baggage. it was my own self centered and self projection of how I thought those around me were perceiving their emotions and experiences, and if they weren't, it came across that they were emotionally barred from truly understanding what their experiences meant. the self proclaimed empaths I have become friends with all have traits in common, and a particular one is that my experiences are never just mine. instead of giving me the so called comfort they offered in times of venting, my response to my own experiences becomes shapes by their energy ie their anxieties and fears are projected on me. instead of unpacking MY emotions to MY experiences, it becomes about unpacking MY emotions to MY experiences to how THEY are projecting on me. instead of embracing being an empath, it was so important for me to understand and cope with my feelings by not embracing being an empath. by understanding my feelings were my own, that i would never be able to know exactly what another person is thinking or feeling, regardless of how much i think my own experiences and feelings allows me to do so. those who are empaths just want to feel validated with their feelings, and i dont think that is inherently bad. when people do come to somebody for emotional support, everybody reaction to that is a reflection of their own personhood, because that is all you know. but acknowledging that is YOU, and your personhood is yours, allows people to have emotional boundaries that most empaths seem to lack to me

i know this is risky posting this comment on an empath video, but i do hope some people get something out of this. it is often talked about how those with a 'lack' of empathy can often have some toxic traits, but the toxic traits with heightened empathy never seem to be talked about. having a lack of empathy or heightened empathy are neither inherently bad AT ALL, but the ways we perceive this quality and apply it to our own identity and relationships is how toxic qualities can manifest, and most people seem oblivious to toxic qualities of empaths. toxicity not just for those around them, but for themselves too. it is an incredibly exhausting way to live, but there are other ways to cope with these emotions

I agree with you, but I don't think empaths are good at understanding people's emotions at a different level, but that they can mirror pain more easily. But yeah I also don't identify as an empath but as a highly sensitive person which means I react really strongly to various circumstances. I think they're both mixed together. Empath sounds supernatural. Personally I know that it's easier for me to be empathetic to people and that sometimes this physically hurts me (like I develop ulcers from interacting with someone with anxiety), but also I study and regularly try practicing empathy techniques. It sounds like the people you know are like the kids with a good ear for music who never practice playing the piano because they think they're already talented and don't need the practice

@samirah278 4 жыл бұрын
I agree but I dont think the two are mutually exclusive. Like yeah I have baggage but maybe that's what makes me an empath? I dont know really. Just a thought. I guess it also depends on your definition of what an empath is. I identity as an empath because for as long as I can remember, I have always felt a connection with other people's feelings. I always unintentionally put myself in other people's shoes which often leads me to feel sad or helpless but I've also acknowledged that I have issues of my own that could be manifesting whilst I'm "empath-ing". As long as we are aware what our own emotions are and we don't ignore them, I think it's okay to call yourself an empath. But I get what you're saying since it's actually ironic that some self-identified empaths aren't aware of their own emotions

@@Alesanascreamokid some people probably do that lol but personally for me I call myself an empath (yeah cos it sounds cool but also) cos I would only really get emotional for other people. I wouldn't describe myself as very sensitive as I don't usually get emotional for myself but when I see others sad, I get emotional as a response. For example I'd cry if I saw someone else hurt for some reason but if I was going through whatever they were going through, I probably wouldn't cry for myself. I dont know if I'm making sense but yeah

I DEFINITELY relate to the idea of others being called to open up to me as an empath. It constantly feels as though people are spilling their hearts out to me and while I can often receive this as a sign of love from people very close to me (as many of my friends are less open and more socially reserved) it can be extremely tolling on my energy when I am not in a place to receive unsolicited information about people/friends trauma or current troubles. I’m still learning how to navigate this without feeling like a bad friend for not ALWAYS being that support for others.

Boy do I know a thing or two about absorbing other people’s energies. I literally worked with so many narcissistic people who absorbed my good energy for their own selfish needs. I honestly went through so much trauma at my old job because I was literally their therapist and they would open up to me all the time and of course I felt the need to help heal their wounds. I have learned my lesson to stay away from people who are harming my energy and peace within.

A lot of times the meaning of empaths can be confused with PTSD or unresolved trauma. I've seen so many post that romantisize the whole thing. I thought it was ok for me to feel others people's emotions for example or to be sensitive to sounds but the truth is that it comes from growing up in an abusive home and being scared of my dad so now when someone gets angry I can truly sense it and I don't see it as a good sign. I know these videos come from a good place but I'm tired of this label of a "healer" when most of us are actually in pain

Sometimes I think I am an empath because of quickly I absorb and express what those around me are feeling. I adopt the emotional identities of those around me, and find it hard to find my own emotional identity. I also hate small talk. It makes me feel drained and uncomfortable. But I love going out, which makes me question if I am an empath. I think it’s because loud music and dark lights make me feel less vulnerable, and I’m able to adopt my own identity more easily. I also connect with those around me on a much deeper level when we go out together. I almost always want to leave after an hour or two, I become drained and have had enough.

I just understand myself so much better now, i always thought i was weird for feeling all those things.. I empathize with literally everyone like you could put like the worst person in front of me but i would still be able to feel what that person feels and be able to understand. I also find beauty in EVERYTHING and i just.. i don't know, i feel and think so much it's overwhelming and exhausting sometimes and i usually try to write all my thoughts down but then again my brain is just kinda fast so yeah.. i don't know. This is a mess lol. Thank you so so so much i understand myself and other a little better now. Also I just found your channel today and you uploaded a video that changed everything for me literally the same day, that might be destiny. 😲❤️

The signs you mention resonate with me and my inner child. I really liked how you highlighted the areas of growth for our society around the undervaluing of these traits. There is a lot of power in having these traits and the fact that they're often labeled as "weak" is disappointing, to say the least. While I don't agree about the preternatural definition of why people have these characteristics, which is probably attributed to my background in higher education and clinical social work training, I do wholeheartedly agree with what you say at 9:30. When you have these traits it is incredibly difficult to learn how to put yourself in a position or state so you are not drained by other's emotions. I've had many challenging personal/professional experiences over the past two years where I had to make drastic shifts in how I survive with these inherent traits and increase my emotional intelligence. One quote that I revisit frequently, whether it's fueled by personal experiences or professional ones, is: "You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm". Multifaceted self-care has been at the core of how I self-preserve and I encourage anyone who identifies/struggles with these traits to bolster their self-care. There's a great self-care starter kit at University at Buffalo School of Social Work's socialwork.buffalo.edu/resources/self-care-starter-kit.html -- it's supposed to be for social work students and professionals but I think it's generalizable to all people. I'd also recommend for those who find themselves have overwhelming emotional states, especially anxiety, to practice grounding techniques--there's some great easy to comprehend ones at TherapistAid.com!

So true! I've walked into a house and felt so sick in my stomach and felt awful. When I walked out all those feelings went away. I need time to be alone. I wear a bluetooth at work stop absorbing bad energy.

It sucks that this whole damn year I was so very big empath, to the point I started to stop taking care of myself 🙃so going into 2020 we preserving our peace & taking care of our health, before we serve others (i.e therapy, journaling and FINALLY Hip-Hop/ Pole dancing class)

I thought I had social and generalized anxiety, but no I must be an empath. I’m a waitress and I do it because I want the challenge and love being able to make people’s day but I leave either drained and disappointed (depending on how my tables felt) or very happy and proud (If I made the people’s day) there’s no in between. While a lot of my coworkers see it as just there job I see it as way more. It depends on everyone else’s emotions rather than my own and lately I’ve felt like I don’t know who I am and what I want. I’m having trouble finding myself. I’m a huge empath and didn’t even know it.

Wow.... thank you Amy!! I literally just thought I was crazy for being overly sensitive all of my life. I’ve been trying so hard to change.... never knew I’m just an empath. Also, I love love love your hair!! Teal is my absolute favorite color, and I’ve always wanted to dye my hair that color. Looks great on you! 😊.

I have already recognized myself with these characters as a child, but this is the first time that I know there is a category for us It is so true that we need to heal ourself first, otherwise it will be very draining as an empath

I’ve watched the video where psychologist explains the difference between highly sensitive people and empath. Empath can be motivated by the feelings, emotions or situations they see or go through and highly sensitive people are tend to allow to let everything in and feel drawn. I’m not sure if I’m explaining well.

amy you are such an inspiration! I have been following your videos since you were Jenn's assistant and I just fell in love with your energy instantly. Although you are NOT professionally trained in behavioral science or psychology, I find it amazing that you feel the need to share what you learned on google with us. i think that for the new year you should consider taking professional courses in these subject matters so you can educate us better. looking forward to the next video x
