Are You An Empath?
In various stages of our lives, we feel various emotions regardless of our gender. But most of the time our close ones ask us to control ourselves and make us feel like the culprit, but in actuality we are the victims here.
All of us are built differently so none of them even your own family get to tell you what you are feeling is invalid.
I am not saying this as a passive observer, as I have felt it countless times in my life since I was 12, I think.
Every emotion like joy, happiness, sadness and hurt, I used to feel to an extreme degree and my mother used to say I was too sensitive and I might not survive in the real world.
But it’s been decades and I am surviving just fine.
In fact, I think it’s because of this sensitivity or empathy to be precise, that I was able to build some genuine connections with people who are like me.
People who have no one to listen to their emotional waves but with me, they get a place to share and get advice based on their feelings, not based on societal norms.
Some of us are lucky who have our own family, especially our parents. Or a parent who listens to us acknowledges our emotions and then gives out advice.
And for the others who become self-aware before it gets too late seek out therapy.
But the core remains the same, US.
Letting it out, getting acknowledged and receiving advice is the initial stage.
The second and most important stage is facing ourselves and we have to jump ourselves into the emotional ocean and tell it who is the king.
And the final stage would be the result of this struggle.
When you accept who you are with all your emotions combined, you come out of the ocean as the strongest!
Thank you for staying until the end!
