Defining their own identity. Empaths can be

overly invested in the lives of those around them.

They experience their emotional highs and lows

and are in tune with their values, intentions and

sensitivities. Though it may seem like a blessing

to be attentive and present in the company of

others, it makes it hard for empaths to focus

on themselves. It is a challenge for them to

recognize their own dreams and emotional

triggers.

Bearing the emotional trauma of others.

Empaths feel others’ pain and distress with

extreme sensitivity. Oftentimes, they can be

overwhelmed with emotions, feel the weight

of others’ predicaments and take on struggles

that are not their own. Many empaths find

it beneficial to practice meditation or other

mindfulness activities. It allows them to recenter,

focus on themselves and let go of the weight

others have placed on them.

The tendency to overcommit. Empaths like to

please people, and they find it hard to say no.

Many empaths find themselves overcommitted

and simply unable to follow through with all of

their responsibilities. Their need to satisfy others

can leave them feeling stressed and may

compromise their self-care.

Remaining in unhealthy relationships. Empaths

are people you can easily trust. They listen to you

and relate to everything you are experiencing.

However, as a result, empaths can end up being

a dumping ground for other peoples’ problems.

They find themselves in relationships where

they give more than they receive and are easily

taken advantage of.

Dealing with grief. When an empath receives

upsetting news, it hits them hard. Emotional

trauma can haunt them, and it will take time

for them to recover. Empaths should tackle

problems and address emotional distress slowly

and on a case-by-case basis so they do not feel

overwhelmed.

Feeling isolated. Empaths have no tolerance for

fake people. They can easily spot inauthenticity

and would rather spend time alone than in a

crowd. This may leave them feeling lonely and

like they have no support system to fall back on.

It is important for them to find people they trust

and respect and who can bring positive energy

back into their lives.
