Why is life generally so hard for empaths - THE SIGMA EMPATH PODCAST_RANT EDITION

[@ktdwms]

Life is hard for the empath due to different reasons. Initially we’re born into families that are highly dysfunctional. Our emotional needs aren’t met. Also, people crave our light but that same light in us isn’t nurtured. We face a lot of scorn and bad behavior just for being different. We have a high moral compass because that’s who we are. Most of the world pretends to be egalitarian. But we genuinely live by that code and suffer immensely to be ourselves. We don’t fit it in and have to find our own way being who we truly are an empath. Once we learn to set boundaries and accept who we are things get better.

As a child, I thought I was born into the wrong family. I soon learned I was a black sheep. I am a healer now, as a therapist. I too have been looking for deep connections my whole life and have found it within myself. ❤

Empaths are survivors late bloomers but also gifted and creative often intelligent very social when they choose to be. With so much conflict the biggest struggle is being understood. Fortunately we can go years without real friends turning up for us,something other types couldn't endure.

[@monica5778]

So true

[@pkp6791]

The irony of being a HSP is that too many people will tell you that you are ‘too sensitive’, but they appreciate and use that sensitivity when it benefits them. For much of my life, I felt like I was waiting for people around me to become more emotionally mature. It was a source of frustration for me until I learned about the empath/narc paradigm and how to manage myself within it. Accepting this beautiful gift AND burden of being an empath has been one of my greatest life lessons and challenges. My sense of purpose as a healer is what keeps me going. And yes. Sometimes we need to get crushed in order to rise!! Thanks again for helping us all recognize and manage ourselves!

[@VitalMGermaine]

@@pkp6791 spot on

[@themagicchi-ve1nq]

I have been looking for the deeper connections my entire life, I gave up and found what I was looking for inside me. I feel like a scientist on earth observing strange behavior. When I do mention my observations, most people look at me very oddly. BTW, I am a physical empath and take on others physical issues to understand them. By doing so I can feel their emotions at their core. I asked God once, why do I have to feel all this, he answered back, it is the greatest gift in the world to feel another's deepest anguish and I just cried and thanked him.

[@beverleyreid563]

You are so blessed.

[@phillipbeverley5628]

I was the black sheep and absolutely saw it as a child. I lived with an abusive mother, absentee father, ultimate antagonistic sister and bully brother. It was torture! I found that emotional empaths have a harder time existing in the world. Aggressive empaths are able to deny the entry of toxicity by extending barriers. We tend to look mysterious to toxic people and they want entry into our lives, however, we can see that this is nothing more than a power grab. All empaths have the gift of sight, but it can only be naturalized by our journey to confidence. Once you get there, life is much better. It's called self love and it's a beautiful thing.

[@sofiatoledo4424]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@SiddityPrincess]

I think what’s helped me is to find my own peace and center. This dynamic is very challenging. I also think what’s helped in my process being an empath it’s tough but rigorous boundaries. Not just in the traditional sense either. NOT allowing just anyone to “trauma dump” and not feeling like you have to be the “fixer” removing your energy and power and understanding you can be selective in your advice and guidance given. Self preservation of our gifts is essential. And becoming okay cutting off people without having to give an explanation. Some people just want to “talk” in attempt to change your mind for personal gain/access.

[@RichardL-yz8fm]

Thank you for this. It’s one of the few things that makes me feel seen. As far back as I can remember I have navigated deep and sometimes painful empathy. I was always able to interpret what was unsaid, like it was overwhelmingly obvious. I spent a lot of time alone in the woods or at lakes fishing And hiking. It was the most peaceful place for me. Both of my parents were professionals and very focused on their work. They left us three kids in many ways free to do as we wished, which was unusual and wonderful for me. One of my first memories, maybe four years old, was Getting into my little pedal firetruck and striking out for the open road. There was a lot of stress and bickering happening between my siblings and mother and father and I just wanted to go. In my 60s, I live by choice alone in a van. It is my home on wheels, my sanctuary, my peaceful place. I don’t have to deal with the cacophony of the outside world very much at all. When I think back to my fire engine trip as a four-year-old I smile, imagining telling him that the day was coming that he would have The means and ability to create space and peace for himself.

[@nathanhardman7143]

Absolutely resonates with me. The loneliness is impossible to deal with sometimes. I go in to a public place and talk to people but rarely do I feel like they are reciprocating the level of empathy and compassion that I am giving to them

[@Suboptimalconditions]

This is so accurate. ❤ i found connections in nature and with animals… reclusive. The purpose is huge to me now. I had to realize the people find me while I’m living in my purpose and I am not starving for that connection so much that I hold on to the people who come through my life to connect with me… i give myself to the purpose and i feed my needs for connection through my purpose. I commune with my higher self to strengthen my purpose by being alone in nature and by being a servant for change in the way we treat animals, nature, and that strengthens my fortitude in being the kind of person who treats everyone with respect and compassion especially when they are being hurtful to me and others. I treat everyone with respect and compassion especially myself. I don’t let people hurt me like i used to but i also don’t let that change me and turn my love and service into hate and anger.

I knew I wasn't wanted as a child. My grandmother informed me of that. I also was talking to 'spirit' before grade school, and in grade school and got punished. This was in the 1950s. In the 70s, I was taught sensitives are Lighthouses. As a child I created an imaginary family. My family hated me, but when they were dying they came to me. I knew I was different. As I am reviewing my life, I can see the roads that I traveled were fated and for me how to act as a Lighthouse. You defined great points in your video. I will share this. I wish you luck. I'm on a similar road, but I 'm not here about me. Best of luck.

I often say, “I grew up in a den of psychopaths/narcissists” I am the black sheep and it took me a long time to understand that I in fact survived and shone a light on their ugly behavior. I feel grateful for the Internet and people like Germaine who are here to lead, inform and coach. I appreciate his content, I feel less alone knowing there are others. Has this ever happened to you? Once I was in line, there were two ppl in front of me and I could not see the receptionist. I felt a wave of profound sadness, so much so, that my cheeks flushed and warm tears fell. I thought… what is happening? When it was my turn to interface with the receptionist I knew it was her sadness. I quietly asked if she was okay. She began to cry and quietly shared her bi-polar was in full force. We chatted a bit, there was no one behind me. Sometimes ppl just need to know they are not alone, that they are seen, they are valued, appreciated and loved. No one is perfect, we are all made to have this human experience. The example above is rare for me. I find that I isolate and avoid busy places when I can. I live in New York so I pretend to be a New Yorker and don’t acknowledge or talk to people usually. It’s safer. After all, our light attracts darkness. I once heard, “Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction.” I argue that If the ppl in this world were kinder, we wouldn’t need boundaries. Peace, Love and Kindness to all. And please remember… this world is a better place with you in it.

I’ve ALWAYS felt homesick! The exception was the 17 years I was married to my husband. When he left me for an affair partner, I was absolutely bereft, gutted. Homesickness returned and today, 12 years later, it is still there, deep, deep in my soul. My childhood was traumatic for me, but my siblings didn’t see, hear, or feel what I did. I wasn’t the black sheep, but I felt separated from everything and everyone. I was a very traditionally pretty, popular girl and was bombarded with people. I had no ability to create healthy boundaries. Today, I’m an old lady. I prefer to be isolated. I’m still homesick, but I know who I am. I have made a significant spiritual connection.

Sometimes I look at my childhood pictures and I’m trying to figure out what happened to her because it’s like chunks I don’t recall.

I indeed had a traumatic childhood. I don't believe our souls are from somewhere else but that God was with us though our physical deliverance from our home life never came God instilled empathatic tools within us - to love others through our pain via the tool of being hyper-sensitive to people and the atmosphere of people around us. Yes, I don't feel a sense of belonging but I know I am loved by Jesus.

I have so few memories of my childhood before the age of 10. And the few memories that I do have are not 'happy'. Just random memories that stuck, but have nothing to do with my actual home life. To this day I do wonder what in the hell did I block out!!! But I do remember realizing by 5 or 6 that I could not rely on my parents. They weren't bad people, but they did not have the mental, verbal, and emotional intelligence to be parents. I could see it even as a child, and I knew without knowing how I knew, that what they were doing was not always the correct way. Many times I did voice my opinion. Which probably bugged them to hear me say the things that I said, but I felt like someone needed to correct them. Years later I remember an aunt mentioning it. She said that she could not believe the things that I said to them sometimes. I was never rude or obnoxious, just firmly pointing out the obvious. Or questioning their methods while offering solutions. My parents would then wonder out loud why I was like "this", or why I was so "old". Deflecting from my words and the problem. With maturity (teen years), I just let things be. Because I realized that it would be a struggle for them to change. I also realized I had to create boundaries within reason, and take them as they were, not the potential I could see. My mother recently passed, but even just before her passing she would lament me as her child. She was proud of me in her own way, but extremely toxic as well.😟 I couldn't win. From the moment I arrived she let me know I was not like them. She would tell me stories about myself even as young as an infant! Events that still puzzled her. She could not understand why I was so different, while my siblings and the grandchildren were like them. I recognize that I am different from most. I don't feel different, I am just me, but I get it. All I needed was genuine acceptance from her. I would have taken care of the rest. Thankfully my father while perplexed at times, is definitely more open minded and more accepting towards my off the beaten path way of being. Sometimes he even gets a kick out of it. :) In my personal life I have an extremely small circle. I check in every now and then to let them know that I care, but overall I just need me, my thoughts, the ability to research endlessly about whatever I want to know (I love new information), nature🌳🌿, and the spiritual support from the universes. Isolation can be extremely soothing and rather addictive.

I think the extroverts are going to be taking a seat or sat down if you will, as the future of humanity is shifting. Perhaps it’s no mistake that there’s very few of us. I don’t think that any of this was by chance. The growth was critical perhaps leading to this very pivotal point.

I try to understand that aspect of myself being a empath, it seems like it’s my fate to not have genuine relationships. I allow people to poor into me and it’s not reciprocated, that has a deep affect on me

I refuse to accept that we can't find genuine relationships. I'm currently alone now but I am working on getting out into the world to allow the right people to find me. I'm trying to surrender to the flow of the universe and see what happens

I am definitely the black sheep of the family. My mom is a narcissist. I believe my mom got pregnant with me in an attempt to keep my dad around it didn't work and I for 18 years was a pawn in a game that I wasn't participating in.

yes, in "layers"... heres one: my mom is a "brittle diabetic", she has Type I Diabetes . When i was growing up, from a very young age, i would see my mom go into insulin (low blood sugar) reactions...and sometimes these insulin reactions would become combative with a rage... when these would happen I was scared of my mom... she looked like a monster...not my mom. one night, i awoke to her slapping me in the face.... thankfully my dad was in the other room...he heard my screaming for his help

Rant was on point. I describe myself this way as an empath and HSP. I have lots of childhood poverty divorce event trauma. Hubby of 30 yrs does not, he’s very energy sensitive almost hermit-like. We created environment for our four children far from poverty however I know some of my parenting still had that trauma rub off on them. Now two them would consider themselves a black sheep. Their trauma was more emotional neglect ( I passed that on). Here’s my point, I consider all 6 of us empaths to some degree or another sometime social but introverts, HSP all very sensitive to others energy. Is it possible they are all that way genetically? 🤔Everyone still lives at home, quietly in their own room content and peaceful…. I think I created a family of loving weirdos (who actually don’t give a flying F if people think that)😂

[@VitalMGermaine]

@@lin_ezedon thank you

[@lin_ezedon]

@ do you think being an empath from one generation to next can be genetic??

[@VenuGopal-wn6fw]

reading the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki could completely shift how you see and apply the principles of attraction

[@DUTTAgamerff]

they overlook ebooks like Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because its insights on attraction challenge conventional thinking

[@arun-jq9ik]

no one talks about the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because its take on attraction is too raw and real for most to handle

[@SarahKZineb]

Hi! Big thanks for the work you do. I’m curious, have you considered the relationship between empaths and addicts? Especially the experience of the recovering addict. Idk if you’ve ever been to Al anon meetings or any 12 step meetings.

[@VitalMGermaine]

@@SarahKZineb I did a podcast about addiction. Check it out it might answer your questions. Thanks for the vulnerability 🤍

[@rubydarlene]

At 69 yo, I ve found from personal experiences....that the multiple traumas actually have made me multidimensional/ more than the empath, so sometimes I now put the empath aside when I sense a boundary is needed. Ha...practice boundaries as a tool to self differentiation.....I live alone and have felt lonely but no longer...the love I craved was my own so I have been the parent and friend to myself. The only thing I miss sometimes is a hug or touch...:)

[@FulmatiDevi-ez3nd]

the truth about attraction in the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is so powerful that most people don’t know what to do with it

[@kimsnyder5456]

I think that the 5 to 20% statistic for people who are true empaths is way overestimated. True empaths actually shine. I suspect that the statistic includes those who are not true empaths but those who have high empathy. There is a difference that most people, except probably true empaths, could not differentiate. But if I could I wave take my magic wand and gift more people with more empathy and integrity.
