I am such an empath and I've always loved watching your videos because it doesn't exhaust me like a lot of other youtubers, it just makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Thank you for opening up about this :)

[@SignDuoChannel]

I've recently moved from living with my parents to living with my boyfriend in a fixer upper house. We're doing all of our own construction and it has been stressful. I've settled into things here and I'm trying to get my morning routine down. Every morning I'll stretch then go into the kitchen and make oatmeal while I listen to one of your videos, and they always give my days a great start. I feel happier and more motivated after hearing your videos. I used to think something was wrong with me because I said yes to everyone of your questions in this video. Only in the past few years have I become accepting of being the person who doesn't like to be in crowd or around draining people. I never new there was a word for these kinds of people, so thank you so much. If you ever started a podcast I would support it! Much love! You make my mornings a hell lot better, never stop creating beautiful content 😊💕🤟

[@りり-g1v4p]

I think I’m an empath and people around me always don’t understand that But now, I know that I’m not alone thanks to you Thank you so much for this video!

[@calielizabeth4714]

So happy to watch this! I have been highly empathetic for a long time and it took me until my late 20s to understand how to use it to navigate my life positively instead of seeing it as a negative quality, because it can be sooooo draining to deal with if you don't know how to take time for self care and when to stop being "the helper" and help yourself. I found my new career in mental health, and while being an empath while counseling others who are dealing with loss, addiction, and mental illness can be difficult, if you can learn separation, it helps you see the perspective of others and give truly honest and thoughtful counseling. I now can see my empathy as a gift to help others instead of a burden. When I was younger it was so hard to feel so much, but it gets better as you grow and learn :) Thanks for sharing this Carrie! I love your self help series, and I hope I get to meet you one day if you're ever on the east coast!

[@e.s.beards]

gosh this is so interesting for me! I am reading all the comments to find out more, I don't think I have ever had my eyes opened like this in a video before! 💚

[@biancamay30]

That’s something I really need to learn is separation from the energies I feel with other because I end up soaking it in. How did you learn to Separate your self?

[@calielizabeth4714]

This is a.hard question to answer because it truly is different for anyone but top 3 things i would say are 1. Have confidence that going through experiences and feeling the way you do will make you stronger, because in the end it does- you just need to develop that inner voice and listen to it- the one that tells you when to take a step back, or to care for yourself, and give yourself permission to know its okay to step back. 2. For many sensitive people, going to speak with a therapist 2-4 times a month can help to let out all the emotions and energy building up. Speaking to a therapist has a big stigma in the US, but it can truly benefit anyone if you find the right fit. 3. This is the hardest one, but i think its the most relevant, it just takes time...getting to know yourself well enough to know when you're soaking up others' emotions, versus when you are truly feeling something for yourself, and releasing the extra weight from others through an activity that works for you (running, yoga, self-care routines, meditation, etc.) hope this helps!

[@biancamay30]

Well then I guess I’m doing all of those! But Iv just started these past two months. I started seeing a therapist and it’s helped ALOT with releasing a lot of emotions build up and I feel lighter, maybe that’s why a lot has been coming now. And I feel a release when I do yoga with energies and recharging my body!! I guess right now is knowing when to step back and truest figuring my self out! I’m in my mid 20s and I’m just finding my true self with all these emotions/ energy’s! Thanks for your advice!! At least I know I’m going through the right path

[@calielizabeth4714]

Bianca Wesley some wise words from Neil deGrasse Tyson: “the fact that you are living is what life is all about.” Your “right path” is whatever path you end up taking, so don’t worry- you’ll get there! Sounds like you’re already on your way

[@brightwithspirit]

You explained being an empath better than anyone I have ever heard. Awesome!

[@bri_in_the_garden]

1:39 "Now I'm not telling you that I think that I am an empath because of the guy who read my TURKEY in a coffee." 😂

[@CarrieRad]

hahaha

[@tuespaciosantiagocentrodet8497]

Hahaha

[@maggiefarnsworth3704]

Your videos are aging like a fine wine--they just keep getting better! I'm 22, and am searching for who I am, which is such an emotional rollercoaster. I'm definitely going to research more about being an empath and energy between people, because everything you said really resonated deeply with me. You're my favorite, Carrie! Sending all my love!

[@bermudabride1]

I'm an empath. It's very hard to feel the weight of the world. I feel everyone's pain stronger than others. I'm a Cancer & we are known for this.

[@kellycampisi2884]

I learned about being an empath with my therapist a few months ago and I love hearing what other people think of it. So insightful!

[@Nat-cz9yv]

Not being able to be in an argument for too long definitely sticked with me 🙉 relieved to know I’m not alone!

[@ashleytune1598]

WHOAAA the large crowds thing hit home. Sometimes when I'm in large crowds, I'll just start crying for literally no reason and i never realized until this video that this might be the reason why

[@boohoolindalieu]

I love that you made this video! I feel as though a lot of people associate weakness with people who feel so deeply, but now that I am who I am, I really don't think it's a bad thing. One of my good friends (we are both empaths) pointed out that we should not be ashamed of being empaths because how great is it that we are one of those rare people who feel so much when some people don't at all? I've really learned to embrace my empath traits over the years and am still learning how to completely love them so this video has really helped me feel as though it's that much more amazing to be one. Thank you :)

[@dymphy-]

Hi Carrie! Love it that youre doing a video about HSP! Im turning 23 and Ive known being HSP since I was 16.. I even gave workshops at college about HSP :) Its a gift to feel so intensely within happy moments, like I can enjoy the little things in life so much. But like you said, crowds, other peoples energies etc can be hard to deal with.. Ive learnt to see my sensitivity as a beautiful strength instead of a weakness :) You inspire me that I could use my HSP within a job just like you do with your creative and caring videos! lots of love from Holland!

[@LaurenFrench555]

This makes so much sense to me now!! I can remember being an empath ever since I was a child. This explains why my boyfriend never gets it when I say I can feel tension, or a change in the atmosphere of a room or person. He thinks I'm crazy but I'm gonna show him this video! Haha! I also really struggle with wanting to rescue people or cure their problems!!

[@wandalorenz5762]

Thank you! Needed to be reminded that recharging alone is crucial.

[@GGluver22]

This year or so I have learned so much more about this. A video with tips to help deal with this super power would be much appreciated.

[@alexandragill6216]

So happy to watch this and this topic coming to light. I am an empath and it does drain me. Often I find myself taking other physical pain as well. It's a very complicated thing to feel. Figuring out the "vampires" in your life and emotional boundaries really helps but sometimes I can touch someone and feel pain. Recharging in solitude is very real and often why I travel when I do.

[@Victoria-hy1mt]

I am currently in university and I always found math and science boring but I have always loved to read so I’ve always loved English and writing courses, I think because some books can make you feel so many unique and complex emotions!

[@catreadsabunch]

I'm an Empath to a tee! My mom and I are both highly sensitive but I can read anyone & call bullshit so easily and I absolutely have to have alone time to recharge. Such an accurate video!

[@aglowalaska50]

We are gifted women! I’ve been called a “witch” before but I respond and tell them “don’t be afraid of me, I’m a good witch” LOL. I have been tapping more into these gifts and learned it runs in my family. Same vibes attract same tribes. Namaste.

[@missatkins8563]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for making this Video!! I never heard of an "Empath" Wow. I identify with almost all of those signs. This video was encouraging & important to my self-realization!!! I'm fascinated!! 😊

[@kimberlyalvarez]

I love that you put out this video. I have always been very connected with my emotions as well as others and would remember being called a “cry baby” or “too sensitive” growing up. You are really embracing our emotions as humans in this video and I so much of what you said resonated with me. I HATE long arguments. It would drain me so much to the point of feeling depressed afterwards yet I can never hold a grudge. Please make more videos like this and “7 signs” videos. Can’t wait for more content like this!

[@whatkayleesays]

Oh man, it feels so good to see how similar you are to me, when growing up I felt so incredibly different and alone and hard on myself for these traits! You are making others feel seen and heard, Carrie! xoxo

[@jigishajindal2329]

I am a Psychology student! Finally someone who relates to you . I know how difficult it must have been to make this video but know that I appreciate it . Thanks for the help ✨

[@katiemoore8268]

This is so me! I always knew I was very empathetic but this makes more sense for me. And I too need alone time to recharge. Thanks Carrie, another great video 😊❤️

[@ccap3211]

Katie Moore introverts also need alone time to recharge. I’m the same way, but I’m just introverted, not an empath.

[@laurenkonkiel374]

This all makes sense to me now, and I took the empath test and it said I am The Planetary Healer Empath. I experience alot of the visions almost on a daily basis. It is so exhausting that I have to take a mental vacation almost every day. Love your videos. :)

[@meganwittig]

I’ve known for a long time that I’m an empath, and you completely nailed it! It’s great to find more people like me! 💗

[@katiekoo5113]

I’ve been sending this video to everyone who’s close to me because I fully relate to everything you’ve mentioned and this video will probably help people to understand me a bit better and why I have to retreat into solitude or why I am hyper sensitive all of the time. Thank you for making me feel less alone💗

[@katiie7]

I’ve never came across your channel but im alone this morning so i can feel EVERYTHING clear minded. So scrolling through I was like which random KZbinr would I relate to most, scrolled down your page and this was it!.. couldn’t be more perfect. New subscriber ✨🤗

[@Natashahowe]

This is seriously fascinating! I’ve actually never heard of being an empath! I’m seriously going to start to research this and start to understand people that maybe empaths that are around me xx

[@ShafiraMaemanah174]

Wow, if you don't talk about these, I will probably always think I'm so weird and never be able to find the right place I belong to. Thanks, Carrie!

[@merlinparody5160]

CARRIE! I love this video mostly because I love how open you are and how much of yourself you share online, it is very grounding for those of us who feel lost. The funniest part of this is I know I am an empath and I was having a very deep discussion about it with my friends the other night at 3 in the morning… then two days later your video comes out. Its crazy! I have visions so often and its so nice to hear you talk about your experiences and fascinations so openly. Have the best week! All my love xx - Merlin

[@jazzyroly]

I relate to the solitude aspect a lot, but I’m an extrovert, so I love talking and being around people; it gives me energy. I have to take a step back sometimes I’ve been taking on people’s energies all day.

[@stephaniegomez308]

Ive learned over a year ago that I’m an empath. It’s nice to hear from others who can relate! Thank you so much for this video💕

[@arthurgames9733]

I was diagnosed with autism as a 6 year old and have always been a very sensitive and empathetic person. It's very much annoying when people don't understand and tell you to just deal with life as if you're not dealing with enough all ready :(

[@alluraaaa]

I would love to see a video on tips to deal with negative or dramatic people in the workplace when you’re an empath.

[@sallyradwan102]

You can strengthen your empathetic self by studying or reading deeply about psychology, you will love it and will connect it to what happens to you and how you feel. Lovely video. Thanks

[@Brevicsim]

It's so nice to know that other people have these same feelings about things. I love being around my friends and meeting new people, but if it's a big group of people I definitely almost feel drained after being around everyone for so long. I always thought that it's just a part of me growing up since i'm only 20, and maybe it is... but it definitely feels good to know that there are other people that feel this way too:)

[@TaraCreel]

I’m glad you mentioned that being a HSP does not necessarily make you an empath. For anyone reading the comments that’s an important point to research/discover ❤️

[@shymommie]

I figured I was an empath but this really made my jaw drop. I'm going to keep learning now, thank you!

[@aaaanoosha]

Had my aura read and was told I was an indigo/empath. I agreed with it, but never had explained so well!

[@SamanthaStClair-cm1rl]

Yup. I’ve known I was an empath for my whole life. A therapist had my mom read the indigo child (or children) book to help her. Thanks for doing this video

[@hartleymiller4546]

If you've ever done a Meyers briggs personality test they talk about people who are empaths. For example my Meyers briggs type is INFJ and there is quite bit of literature on how that type has a lot of empath tendencies but INFJ isn't the only type with those qualities

[@angies2864]

The academic part is soooooooo oh true. You're so wise. Its so fun learning from you. Could you go deeper into how to peacefully wrap up an argument? Thank you!!

[@noralaymon9537]

SO TRUE I had no idea there was a word for all these things that I’ve been experiencing my whole life. I also have a great sense of compassion to the point where it hurts and I bring things home with me. Thank you for the video. I’m so glad I’m not alone. Do empaths also have a hard time with transitions and change? That’s also a trait I struggle with

[@vilde5445]

Nora Laymon I also struggle with change! Reading the comments on this video makes me feel less alone. It is so nice to know others feel the same way. Thank you💕

[@gutchiespencer2714]

OMG! Now I know why I love you soo much. I’m crying now,😂 I love the EQ/IQ analysis...My family wrote me off as Crazy a long time ago. I was Different. BTW! You look very beautiful today....❤️

[@suecathcart4687]

WOW - I now know I am not completely mad - I have all the 7 signs BUT I do work in a technical role so I am lucky that my logical sense is as sharp as my empath sense - thanks for sharing

[@danialteaches]

Such a valuable information. Thanks for the video!

[@cryskiiim]

Didn't even know there was a name to these tendencies I have! Loving the self help/discovery videos xx

[@LizzieToTheRescue4]

Such a great video! Definitely an empath! Love the idea of the 7 signs series! Have been absolutely loving your videos recently!!!

[@mimimaui9115]

omg never realised this was a thing i always just thought i was hyper sensitive, thank you sooo much for this video!!!!

[@kadiyahlodge9430]

I’ve never heard of this concept, but wow, I’m trying to wrap my head around it because this is literally me...I feel like this is the reason why I have a very small circle of friends because having a thousand friends would be emotionally draining for me.

[@serceskywalker]

omg i'm you! :):) good to know that i'm not alone for feeling that way. thanks a lot!

[@jenniferhollifield2426]

Thank you for making this video!! I’m definitely an empath and it’s great to hear another’s perspective. I’ve always felt it was a negative thing about me but... maybe not.

[@SJ-ji8zi]

I stumbled upon your channel very recently. The universe knew exactly what I needed, the timing of finding you couldn't have been any better. You're so inspiring and your content is something I've not necessarily realized I was missing, but couldn't imagine going without from then on😊 Thank you for being you❤ xo

[@raspberris17]

I can literally relate to all of the signs!! I’ve been really interested in this topic recently and it’s so fascinating to learn more about myself. I also have a tendency to be attracted to other empaths and I think this is why I always knew you are such an amazing person and I can relate to you in many ways. Thank you for sharing this topic and your experience!!

[@goobswarvoskiamor]

Loved this! I'm constantly analyzing myself over having this personality type

[@xena7541]

now I love u even more lol. bc from empath to empath (especially now that u know that you are one) I know I can a 100% trust you. btw it's my third video watching of yours and I'm so happy that I found you

[@shelbsmk]

Thank you! This video has helped me so much. I have all of these feelings all the time and I often felt so confused by what I was feeling and this has opened my eyes so much. Amazing video ✌🏻

[@tatianavillamontoya1089]

I love this video so much, I just told my best friend to check it out because she is totally an empath. She also tells me that I could be an empath too because I have a very very old soul and I do some things that empaths do. Im working on meditation and energy, and so good so far. I would love to see more videos about seven signs, I cant wait to see them.

[@studyingpeach6691]

Ever since i was a little girl, my mom used to tell me that i was 'an indogo' which basically means you have a soul that is older than you, that your soul used to belong to sombody other than you. It is such a fasinating topic and it really is eye opening, especially becuse i have lived my whole life searching what it acually means. I was really suprised when i saw your video becuse it acually is the first time that i have seen sombody that has knowlage about the whole Indigo and empath thing. P.s. My mom has learned that i was an Indigo by a fortuneteller in Turkey, we were living there at the time.

[@kamea4023]

I can relate. I am an empath. Most people don’t understand me. It’s exhausting. Before someone even speak, I already know their intentions but no one understands that and how the heck i know what they think, feel and especially their intentions. I feel everyones emotions around me that’s why from time to time i need to be alone to recharge. There are times i drive around and i already feel the vibe. When i enter a room, office, attending parties, i already sense the feeling. I have limited energy because of all these emotions around me. It is bizarre for other people that’s why i dont really open up about being an empath. I know when someone is lying, when someone is playing mind games and pretend to be nice. I also dont like small talks because its a waste of time. In the restroom at work, i wait until everyone leaves the room. I hate small talks. At work, i eat alone because that’s my time for myself to recharge. Only empaths will understand the details of all these emotions.

[@tableforfour5777]

Definitely do the 7 Signs videos!

[@kandiceh7849]

Being an HSP is so hard when you LIVE with negative people. I am constantly absorbing their sadness and low energy whether I like it or not. I’m working on moving out but it’s a slow process. I need to find a way to protect myself from them.

[@Cleo-bm2vv]

I feel all of these things except for the large crowds part. I really do think I am an empath but I really like being around people and especially at music festivals there is a lot of positive and bright energies and auras (therefore its not very overwhelming to me).

[@daughteroftheKing0]

I love these tips, and can totally relate to them! I am loving all these amazing new videos, and you've got the most beautiful smile and sparkle in your eyes!

[@jessiblooming5528]

Can you do a comparison and contrast between being introverted and an empath? Love your channel!!

[@aislingosullivan5637]

I for sure would love to see more seven signs style videos - loved this video so much 😍

[@CarrieRad]

That is so so good to hear ♥️♥️ Also SO glad you love this ✨✨

[@michellewilcox4724]

I love this. I have recently just put the pieces together that I am an empath. I have had all the signs for so long. This video is helpful! 💖🙌💯

[@Jmp599]

I loved this! I'd love to see more 7 signs things, they tend to be one of my favorite kind of videos :) I'm pretty sure that I'm some sort of empath, it's something that I talked about with my therapist, and something I'm still exploring. Good to know that I'm not alone!! Thank you!

[@Alliexkw]

I consider myself to be what is called a "psychic sponge" - I end up absorbing people's emotions too much. But I don't know how I can preserve my energy but still healthfully take in other people's emotions.

[@tabbycatkidd]

Loved this video! It’s so relieving to know that you are not alone when this is the way you are and all others around you or in your life can’t relate. It can be isolating. Would love more videos on this!! Muah! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@emilygasparini6991]

I've always thought I was an empath as well! I'm so glad you shared.

[@springtimeanna3146]

Great video thank you. As an empath too would be nice to have a video on deflecting/protecting yourself from negative energies. Thanks ♥️

[@samanthadyer4597]

I am so happy to have come across this video. I genuinely have thought for so long that I'm just weird and different and super sensitive but it brings me comfort knowing other people are this way! I literally relate so much to everything you've said in this video. Thank you x

[@e.s.beards]

so interesting... I did not actually know this was a "thing" - thank you for sharing!! 🙌💚 and you look beautiful in this video! ... yes, a seven signs series sounds great!

[@stephdaulton3604]

Thank you for this I just found u by this video. I feel the same way, very interesting.

[@Jaliza84]

Thank you for posting this video. Please make more videos like this and about this topic. 💕

[@kelseythurman6785]

I really enjoyed this video. Can you share your resources for the energy that you talk about? I would love to learn more!

[@jennifermitchell3664]

I feel all of this but I also have a very hard time expressing it to others. its nearly impossible for me to cry in front of anyone. I get accused of being cold often but I'm so confused by that. I feel so much but I hold it in until I'm alone...its almost too much to handle.

[@DeidraDianeWallace]

Wow I LOVE psychology so this was so amazing for me to watch! Also, your hair is looking so good here! (and always lol!)

[@lenilav]

Omg I am first. I am never first. I was just telling my sister yesterday how I am such big empath that I mix other peoples emtions as mine. Also I feel energy of people and places so much.

[@CarrieRad]

Woah then this video was meant to be ✨✨ Hope you like it!

[@lenilav]

Oh yes I like it. Thank God I am not only "nuts" one. It is nice to know I am not alone. :D One of reason I subscribed on your channel is because of your energy. You make me calm. As I am older ( 22 now) I tend to really carefully choose people that I am surrounded with and the content I am watching, listening or reading, beacuse I absorb energy like sponge and when I am overwhelmed I numb my feelings or just stay at home alone for days to recharge . Also I love learning but hate studying. Have a nice day and thank you for video.

[@carolrush9479]

I am all except 1, and not so much 2..but 3..is my STRONGEST trait. I have intense dreams only for them to come true. It wasn't always so precise, but now they are..they scare the crap out of me. I wish I knew what to do with this. I have it for a reason!

[@DiaPa7]

I loved this video, thanks. Please share tips to protect ourselves as empaths. xoxo

[@ezazkhan4233]

yes mam im empath people please lack camnicution lack boundaries

[@vilde5445]

Wow, this explains so much! Thank you for letting people discover new things about themselves, Carrie. You have an amazing soul❤️

[@katginsburg]

i love love love psychology; this video made my day! so any more videos from you about this stuff would be so awesome to watch :)

[@rayzee0285]

Informative video! Thanks - will check out the test. Where did you get your necklace btw? It's gorgeous!

[@CorinnaAtHome]

Raiyyan Zaman bump, I’m curious too.

[@finja686]

so I did a test for highly sensitive people and I answerd nearly every question with "yes". I also always had the feeling that I am a bit different then other persons... I'm often ill, physically and mentally, and that always bothers me because my friends didn't had that problems! And I also often know what peole think... for example when I talk to someone and this person tells me something positive but I feel that the person is sad because of something... I'm so happy that you made that video because you showed me that I'm not alone and that someother people feel the same!!

[@vanessaperalta20]

I wish I would have known this about myself before I let it ruin so many situations in life 😪 but I'm definitely feeling comfort in knowing it now!!

[@carmenchavez9803]

That scene on the bus I relate I can't go on the subway I get anxiety one I know now it's everyone's emotional status it affects me bad

[@vickybarma9768]

All of them resonate with me. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. It's so hard to manage sometimes and it's like magical and weird a lot of things that happend all the connections that are hard to logically explain. Thank you for this video. 🤗 I don't feel now that I'm the only one.

[@artistry8519]

As an introvert empath can feel everyone's feeling easily able to understand others but why others can't feel us many of them miss understand me

[@paolagaleone1708]

This is such a brilliant video! Thanks for posting :) Your content has been visibly improving and I’m enjoying it so so much!

[@AlexisGilbert]

Needed this x Thank you for your constant uplifting videos Carrie 💖

[@mrsllewellyn8293]

I’ve always been an Empath am a very sensitive person and that is why I always have to watch the people I allow around me and I don’t like crowds it literally makes me physically ill and for those people who don’t believe in Energy they need to start researching this stuff it will make a believe and I have really bad anxiety and the other thing that people need to understand is talking things in to existence when you talk about a lot of negative things you bring it in to existence and with arguments I try and avoid any and all arguments because it’s to much emotional baggage and I hated school and never did good in school I was always bored and anxious

[@senica100]

love the idea of the seven signs series!

[@samuelbuchanan5504]

Thank you so much for opening up and being honest, it helps so much to know others have been through this and have had to find a way of finding that all important balance! At age 17 this vid has really helped open my eyes to what person I am etc, thanks again Carrie :) Samuel.

[@578tealforever578]

7 signs you need a break from (work, etc)
