How to Protect Yourself as an Empath or HSP! | Stephanie Lyn Coaching

[@lifeofabundance845]

When someone show u their true colors never ever try to repaint them

[@kearascrapbook]

im taking notes right now for myself & your statement is so needed & trueeeee. THIS!!! thank you

[@CHOOSE_TO_BE_U]

Very true... Discernment is essential. There was somebody at a job I had who seemed like a great person. A situation happened and this person had the smoothest, most cunning words that would cut a person to the core. I knew in that moment I could not work in such an unhealthy environment. Eventually a person's true colors with come out: You can fool some of the people some of the time, You can't fool all the people all the time, AND YOU CAN NEVER FOOL GOD!!

[@berlynwall1956]

When you're an empath you don't have to wait for them to show their true colors. You already know as soon as they're in your energy field

I cried when Stephanie said this, it was my lightbulb moment!!

[@solasnova]

oh my GOSHHH. biggest challenge for me right now!!! i always just pick out the beautiful traits in people, even if it´s actually super toxic for me to be around them, i just remind myself of those one, two beautiful aspects, almost as though i wouldn´t allow myself to see clearly because i want to keep this romanticised image i have of the person. this video was sooo eye-opening though!

[@Josh-ct6ue]

@@solasnova I feel you on this one gotta try and see people for who they are now what we want them to be

Biggest lesson for empaths and HSP’s to know is that you have control over your life. Learning to put yourself first is essential. Especially for people like us.

Yes that's me and I'm sick and tired of being used by people especially in the work force.

OMG I started thinking something was wrong with me because people's energy really affects me and I couldn't understand why I feel so drained after just having certain people around me and if I talk to them OMG I have headaches and I low energy. I started to isolate myself or avoid certain people. Thank you for explaining how to deal with this feeling

[@StephanieLynCoaching]

You are not alone. It’s a real thing!

[@vivianamieres]

@@StephanieLynCoaching yes !!!! It is !!!! Finally starting to realize i'm not the only one that feels that way

[@Shurmash]

Same. As much as I want to be around people, you need your solitude.

[@onewithsource9742]

It's great to know you guys are out there, it can feel like such a lonely path when you're the only one who seems to be suffering at work whilst everyone else carries on care free. And they just don't seem to realise or get it!!!

[@CHOOSE_TO_BE_U]

@@onewithsource9742 I can so relate to that. I have always been sensitive. Always told, "oh you're too sensitive!"As if I can just decide not to be. This is a precious gift from God, BUT WE MUST LEARN HOW TO TAKE OF OURSELVES WITH SELF LOVE, SELF-CARE AND SELF-COMPASSION ❤️

[@TheVictorious98]

When she talked about reminding yourself that other people's problems aren't my problem, I really felt that. Especially with friends because I feel like I have to be there for my friends and help them but I can't always bring up their problems .

[@nemo82mi]

I have recognised that I am like a sponge that absorbs other people’s emotion and like a mirror who reflect how other people behaves towards me. Now I know I am an “Empath”. This is very eye opening for me to deal with my attachments and emotions. Thank you for this video.

I've had to repent of my savior complex. We have to respect other's free will and right to make their own mistakes and pay for their own consequences. I'm a recovering people pleaser and I'm also setting boundaries with the toxic people in my life. It's good to mature and save your energy for when you really need to share your empathy. Moreover, I've learned that healthy relationships are NOT a competition. Live and let live!

[@melinoesedah9762]

Thank you for this video. I'm a highly sensitive empath. When I meet new people I usually hope for friendship. It always saddens me that they just want to take advantage of my generosity. I'm on a path to recognize them, healing, and self love.

[@korinnaalvarez3553]

These videos truly help. I don’t have much support or anyone to vent to about my struggles with my narcissist ex who is also the father of my children. You’ve truly helped me get through so much in the past month. 💜

I am so glad the videos have helped!

[@tonevam9839]

OMG same. Being a mother of a child who's highly sensitive and who has a father who absolutely lacks empathy and totally aloof .....so exhausting. This channel definitely helps and often acts as a support. Thank you 🙏🏾

Been there. Made me feel lower than an ant. God bless you. Praying for you. You deserve to be happy.

[@lifeofsadie7572]

Thank you for this video, I recently discovered I am an empath and highly sensitive to other’s energies. I wish there were more people like that out there as it can be a very lonely feeling when you are unable to connect with many people on a deeper level and dealing with people close to you that don’t understand the need to remove yourself from a negative situation or person as we feel it so much more strongly than other’s. It is a gift but can be very draining as well 😔

[@StephanieLynCoaching]

It can drain you.. we just have to learn how to manage it and know the triggers before they take over. You’re not alone now 🙌

[@lifeofsadie7572]

Stephanie Lyn Coaching thank you! :)

You are not alone, I am like you, we just need to be strong and find somone like us!

[@vibinnhi4u]

Thank you... I was with a group of energy vampires for a very long time... Like years longer than the point that i knew that they were destroying me every day with their negativity... But i got myself out and am slowly but surely discovering what and who I really am... Learning boundaries is a very large and important part of this transformation... Also it soothes my heart to know that there are more kind and sweet people in the world like me cuz this state can be very confusing, overwhelming and lonely sometimes... It also dosent help when you have a moral code that is far higher than the people around you

[@KELSEYK28]

I saw a few therapists when I was younger and every one of them told me I was carrying someone else’s shame. I couldn’t understand what they meant until I uncovered a family secret and realised I was so empathic that I had been carrying the shame of another family member without even knowing I was doing it. I now know when I’m picking up someone else’s feelings. It is hard to step back sometimes but I am getting better at it. Thanks for these videos. Xxxxx

[@leerae1442]

Sometimes, what we thought is our feeling is not actually our feeling.. I'm still struggling so much to differ between those feelings

How were you caring someone else's shame?

[@SharlenesJourney]

Same!!! Omg are you me lol same extact thing I’m going through it’s so tough ugh

[@destinybeede9268]

As someone with bpd (borderline personality disorder), this video really helped me. I struggle with letting go of negative people/situations because of the rooted fear in abandonment. The ups and down of idolization/ devaluation also make it more complicated. I’ve been working on being more self aware and working towards letting things go. I feel like borderline is really similar to being a highly sensitive person. It’s only hard because I’m so use to the negative or chaos that I tend to cause it myself. It’s what I’m use too.

[@tanya7993]

I am a empath, HSP and also have asperger syndrome, witch makes my life harder in general. People love to put all their junk on me and I am learning slowly basiclly everyday when to back off and focus on myself and God. I do get all my positive energy by spending time with Jesus och listening to worship music to calm down my soul and energy, it truly does really help! It gives me such a deep innerpeace state, both in my mind and soul. I sleep better, feel better, more blissfull and calmer overall. Try Jesus if you haven´t yet for everyone and anyone reading this! And yes, I truly do love my alone time :)

Being an empath is so exhausting. I was constantly looking at negativity by watching the news. I week ago I decided to stop looking at the news. It has helped me with my energy level by not having so many negative thoughts constantly bombarding my brain. Thank you.

[@lizhu6166]

I am both HSP and enphathetic. That's why I 've suffered a lot when I constantly met the wrong person. Yes, I had several boy friends before. I didn't really love them.

It would be so hard for me because I would want to help everybody. Then I would be sad because when I would need help rarely then I felt like I had nobody to lean on...

[@loxbchick]

Throughout the video, I was saying, "Yes, this is me. This is what I do." Thank you so much. I was in a narcissistic relationship and I gave chance after chance, always wanting to believe what I was being told. When I was just being told what I wanted to hear at the time. I have my own faults because no one is perfect, but I think some of my reactions were just because of the relationship I was in. Since my divorce, most of my relationships have all been with a narcissist and I have since decided to take this time to just be myself. I seem to draw those narcissists to me like a moth to a flame and I just don't have the energy to deal with that sort of relationship any longer.

[@GS-st9ns]

Very good information. I'm wide awake at 5 a.m. and thought I would check to see what was positive. Empaths are a soft target for every unthinking lump, for every entitled individual they meet . All it takes is one good 2 minute rant to straighten out everyone taking advantage of me oh, and I am now left alone with respect.. My neighbors have never heard me talk about an inside voice so they thought they could take advantage.. they see me differently now in a good way.. one came to me and apologized unconditionally. Who knows what they're saying behind my back, but they won't say it to my face Away from my little dead end Street, out in the world, I shut people down as the need arises. It doesn't feel right but it has to be done so I can have peace. This channel is well worth subscribing to

[@styx4067]

It's crazy how many empaths have that moment,. The moment u realize ur not alone or weird . The joy I felt was intoxicating

[@mamasitatita]

Newly embracing that I’m an empath has been the most freeing information.

[@billy1673]

I don’t know if I’m relieved by this or more discouraged. I’ve always known I’m an empath. As the fifth of six children, my mother always called me her heart child. My problem is I know I’m supposed to “regulate” my heart towards people but I just can’t. Even though my heart is shattered right now, I’ll still believe the good in all of them. I truly believe it’s why I’m here. I’ll leave you with my favorite Marlon Brando quote... “They’re a great people, Kal-El. They wish to be. They merely lack the light to show the way. It is for this reason, above all, their capacity for good, that I have sent them you...”

[@katec9893]

I've become very isolated so I sometimes go to activities and talk to new people but often feel like my energy is draining away very quickly when they start talking. I think it's when people start telling me all about their lives, problems, opinions immediately and I feel overwhelmed and panicked at being expected to stand and listen, process and respond. When all I wanted was a light hearted chat about the activity at least initially. Another reason is people having opposing opinions to me and rather than enter into debate or conflict I try to smile and nod but want to get away. Occasionally I do meet calm, warm, thoughtful, gentle souls who seem to like, accept and respect me who don't expect me to be their instant free therapist and who instead are curious about getting to know me as a genuine friend, I like people like that. The challenge is not knowing who is who when meeting new people and getting drained by the former type of people then isolating myself to recover.

[@izawaniek2568]

It is vital to learn to let go of the relationships which are not good for us empaths and realise we are not the saviours of the world. You can not help anybody who is not willing to be lost. And there are plenty of those who don’t take responsibility for their own lives and would happily transfered their burdens onto somebody else’s shoulders. We need our eyes to be wide open.

[@sharonrush4344]

So totally resonate with you. Have also found my need for magnesium (the calming mineral), zinc, and B vitamins goes way up with any kind of stress.

I usually don’t like labels but this describes an undeniable part of my personality. I’ve hated this part of me for so long but I’m realising that it’s not our of your control. You aren’t destined to be used and abused, you can take responsibility and set healthy boundaries. And you don’t have to enable the narcissistic dysfunctions. You can make a conscientious decision everyday to CHOOSE you!! Prioritise YOU. When you have healthy love for yourself it can protect you from the ones who tend to leech off us. Thanks for the video ❤️❤️❤️

[@ErikNielsendk]

The sad part is when you realize that someone is just leeching on everything others do to just benefit themselves. But when your abillities to care and listening to others actually is making them better is priceless. But sometimes you don't know until years later when you meet them again and they actually tell you about it. Because we often attract strangers for no reason apparently, which it is not. It is because of what you are and they are drawn to you. Unfortunatly we attract lesser desireable people too and we must learn to deal with that, otherwise we will harm ourselves.

I'm an empath and HSP which I'm sure that all the people who are as well can see clearly that we are a target for the Narcassists supply. It is extremely important to realize the toxic impact they place upon our heart and soul. My Exhusband, Mother, two Brothers and Sister are all Narcassists which is the reason I'm well aware of their trates, I can spot them a mile away. I saved my life when I walked away from all of them and wished I had done it sooner.

This is the 2nd time I’ve watched this video. The 1st time was when I was still in an abusive marriage. This time is nearly a length divorce and it still resonates, maybe more so now.

I didn't realize there was a name for it.

If you are a an empath/hsp and young please make sure you stay OUT of narcissistic relationships. Get informed, the types, how they acts, how to spot them, etc. Otherwise chances are you will end up with one and they might suck the life out of you and take away invaluable years of your life. Speaking from experience. So, if you're young, GET INFORMED about narcissistic patterns. They are everywhere. I wish someone had told me why I was different and what I should have avoided.. 🥴

[@stephanielimongelli1156]

Hi Stephanie 💞 I relate to everything you said. I believe that haters are drawn to us bc our energy is healing to them. They just don't realize why they are obsessed with us bc they have 0 self awareness. I love my time alone 💟 I am sending love, peace and joy to all of my fellow empaths.✝️

[@ninawo8217]

This video is so helpful! I always have to remind myself to actually believe it, when people show me their "true selves". Sometimes I am so caught up by what the other person is feeling, that I can no longer get a hold of what I am feeling at the moment. I still have to figure out a way to keep my energy bubble up and not immediately engage in whatever feeling the other person is feeling. It's really hard! But I am looking forward to learning it!

[@askeladd709]

Just got out of a 4 year relationship with a narcissistic woman. Set me up as a rapist, domestic abuser, potentially killed my kitten, got a hacking collective to steal all my data, etc, etc, sent me into psychosis and had me fearing for my life. Every step of the way, I thought, "the people who are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most." I was wrong. Sometimes people are just too damaged, and they will only hurt you. I always took care of her, but I also just got abused so hard that I would explode and I took on too much and couldn't handle it. As a dude, this is the worst.

[@lindamast2766]

Omigosh, the strength you have to have endured all the abuse. As an empath, your inner light is still there, your kindness and understanding are in you by nature. I hope so much that you'll have continued healing, find comfort and peace. What astounding endurance and rich character you have

[@denzelwilson3611]

You are so right about the struggles we face before figuring out who we are. And of all the different kinds of paths out there, I'm so thankful I was born an empath because that glow and warmth my spirit feels when I know that I'm a positive reinforcement in somebody's life or helping them through their tribulations or raising children and teaching them function and expressiveness and inner strength and watching all of the people we help feel confident, safe, inspired, and most importantly healed. We know we have fulfilled our purpose. It's neat how The Empath and The Psychopath are on exact opposite sides of the spectrum, but we both share the urge and desire to fulfill their inner purpose andto take control the major significant difference is our intentions. The Psychopath is pure selfish, The Empath is 85% selfless with discipline. The Empath's plan is to give, to construct, to protect. The psychopath's plan is to take, destruct, and exploit. Negative topic aside, I'm so glad to have found my people.

Finding out that I poses these traits has helped me a ton. Being a highly sensitive empath has been difficult to say the least. Taking on others issues and problems to help is extremely exhausting! What I have learned to do is understanding what I can help with and what I can’t. I have also learned to start giving to myself more. In my opinion I am blessed to be able to feel others emotions! Thanks for sharing this topic!

Ugh! I really needed to hear ALL of this! Learning to create & IMPLEMENT boundaries. Thank you so much, sweet girl.

I agree going out in nature, exercising, eating fresh healthy foods, meditation, alone time helps to recharge. A suggestion which was not mention but helps me is to have lavender in your home. Buy it as an air freshener or soap or lotion. Lavender is supposed to promote peace. Thank you for your video.

I have just recently understood, that I'm both empath and HSP. Been strugglin all my life with persons, who have used me and betrayed me. Now learning to say no, having a regular dayscedule and enough of sleep. Yes, simply "being selfish", I feel better at last. Thank you for these advice, they will come to good use! ❤🙏🌹

[@sarazink2237]

I am jus becoming aware that I’m an Empath and HSP so learning boundaries and protecting my energy is vital right now! I have been taking on all my ex’s mother traumas as if I’m the one who caused it and is responsible to heal it. Two of my ex’s mothers passed at a young age and the others have had abusive and neglectful mothers. I feel immense guilt when I need to walk away from the toxic relationship like I am abandoning a wounded child. I am starting to understand how I have enabled them and almost destroy myself in the process. I am even looking to quit my career as a nurse for now so I can focus on my own healing and health and create better boundaries. I can’t keep sacrificing myself for others personally and professionally!

I know that there are evil people out their. I've dealt with a Pyscho Narsissist, barely escaped that one. Healing for me is a priority in my life and will be for quite some time I think. It is getting much better day by day. Thank you for your videos.

I looked this topic up for a reason probably different than most. I used to have difficulty with this in relationships but have improved in this area. However, I also work with young children in a mental health facility. I lost a teenage son to suicide 2 years ago & now work with other children. Everyone tells me I’m made for this & I agree but I also find that it drains me, I am always exhausted because I need to learn not to absorb their energy. I love each one of them, I love my job & am full of energy while I’m with them but when I’m not there- I’m a walking zombie. Self-care is not an area I’m good at taking in but this is a good reminder.

[@evieferbin2130]

Amazing! Still healing, more boundaries, more enjoying my own time

[@blacksheep9772]

Like many others here, I am both an Empath & a HSP. Your videos have been incrediably helpful for me. Thankyou so much. ❤❤❤

[@davidmandeville795]

Thank you for including HSP in your guidance videos and for being one of us!

Omg I wish I would have found you sooner, your words are everything I need to take in. Thank you

I really like what you said about opening the windows, getting sunlight and being in nature. I’ve always needed to have the windows open, even when it’s cold and I need to sleep in a cool room with fans blowing air around. I feel absolutely suffocated when I’m in peoples homes that have closed windows and blinds and it makes me want to run away and I feel like I can’t breathe! I need sunlight every day and gloomy weather gets me down. The lack of light affects me and I’m so much happier when it’s sunny and I love the wind. It’s like my body and soul need the energies to be able to move freely to keep me refreshed and to be able to clear out any lingering emotions and energies that otherwise just stagnant and suffocate me. I’m an extreme empath and highly sensitive and I not only feel other peoples feelings, I can read their actual thoughts more often than not. I’m a carer, helper, counselor type and I see very clearly where people need to make changes to improve their lives and I very much want to help them. I’ve learned over time that most people honestly don’t want to change, are afraid of it and won’t take help when it’s offered so the saying “do not cast your pearls before swine” really applies. I have to limit my exposure to most people and I prefer my solitude and quiet time, doing my own things. I have been single for many years and I’m never lonely and I finally accept the way I am and embrace it and love myself. Emotional vampires are everywhere and I can’t do anything about it so I am very selective about who I associate with. I give my all to those who I love and care for but I still take the private time that I need and that’s ok.

AWESOME video!!! Thank you. I’m that HSP, empath you spoke to. Just recently ended a budding friendship. Her terms were daily chats and or get togethers or nothing. I, set a boundary which she didn’t like. OH WELL!!! I have to say I had some guilt and smacked myself around a bit (metaphorically). After speaking with my therapist, I,saw that my actions were very healthy- for me. I am a good friend but have to protect myself from those who may want to suck the life from me. I have to say once I set the boundary I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. Thank you again for your work. It’s extremely helpful. Take care. Appreciation from adult daughter of narcissistic mother…I was the scapegoat 😢.

[@gbirdman1]

It is so refreshing that I am not alone with this trait. The challenge for me right now is the vampire drawing me is my 98 year old mother. It is so hard to say no and she has evolved into a narcissist. Signed Struggling

You are 100% on the money, i am now 76 and I’ve been that person for most of my life…

[@shelleysparks210]

At the age of (almost) 68, this information is sooo enlightening. Amongst me & my 4 sisters, I was always teased as “the crybaby”… it wasn’t something I could easily control. I hated emergency sirens, loud noises or bright lights. I would hide under the piano bench when overwhelming scenes came on tv. I was always an exceptional student; in my only IQ test (at 20) I scored 147. I was a critical care nurse that cried frequently over my patients after I left the hospital & I struggled briefly with destructive coping mechanisms (drinking, etc). People have approached me since I was a child & shared deep, personal information-especially older folks, children, dogs, & cats totally unsolicited. On the Myers-Briggs evaluation, I am an INFJ, but I’m also pretty sure that I’m an HSP. I love nothing better than to be outdoors with my dogs. This info has helped me tremendously. It puts everything into a logical perspective for me. Thank you. 🙏🏻🔆

2 weeks away from my 57th birthday, and Finally my inner feelings are being Validated!!😢❤

[@chanelhans3925]

I am definitely an empathy... I heard someone say when you believe people are good you'll continue to try to find that goodness in them ...searching for it . A blessing and a curse

[@sierraforever2954]

Learning to distance from church and feel somewhat guilty for it but I’m important too and I have to take care of myself. Thank you 🙏

Sup, I'm an empath named Stephanie Lynn, and I'm here to learn from Stephanie Lyn about how to protect Stephanie Lynn. 💕

[@daisycifuentes1306]

Thanks for getting it! Finally someone like me. I'm sensitive and empath and my family always made me feel like I was week. I have a stong temper but I couldn't assert myself until this summer when they crossed the line and made me become suicidal. I haven't spoken to them since then. I'm doing exercises, yoga and tins of meditation and art! I feel soo happy now, but I also feel guilty for feeling this happy without my family

[@efrainhernaizvlogs2017]

Good to know that you're here, Yes I am an Empath and I really need your advices thank you to you ❤️❤️❤️

[@Baries12]

Its funny that a friend suggested i watch some videos on youtube about empaths i learned years ago that im an empath and a sensitive its really hard for me to let the toxic people in my world go but i am slowly learning its what is best for me as a person ....its really difficult because im the one that feels guilty thinking it was my fault or something ive done and im a worrier too its all really hard day after day but i have to look after me and not worry about others ...a friend once told me that you cant control others or their feelings only yours so i really took that to heart when he told me that ...Loved your video thank you ♥

[@teresafraser3049]
