Steps
Method 1 of 3: The Signs That Indicate If You Are an Empath
Step 1. Understand the feelings of others effortlessly
Do empaths know how others feel, no matter what you see from the outside?
The other person may smile, but you are sure that they are anxious or depressed
Step 2. You always have people around asking for help
Do empaths often feel drawn in, almost forced to help others?
People you've never met before open up and share their innermost secrets with you while you shop
Step 3. You want some alone time
Empaths need to spend time alone, eliminating almost all external stimuli.
It is not about preferences, but about the need to avoid being overwhelmed by the emotions of others
Step 4. Always know the right answer
Empaths have had this trait since they were children.
Others believed you were precocious when giving adults the correct answer during a conversation. Sometimes you didn't need to study at school because you already knew the answers
Step 5. Feel strong emotions everywhere
Empaths perceive emotions while walking through complete strangers.
- Do you always know for sure when someone is in crisis or has health problems?
- If so, do you often get the feeling that you know what's wrong?
Step 6. Feel emotions even from animals
Empaths receive signals from both people and animals, often alike.
- Have you ever sensed if a dog or cat was depressed? Happy? Nervous?
- Can you calm or relieve depression in the pet of someone you don't know well?
Step 7. Do you happen to wake up frightened by sudden emotions and you know they are not yours?
Step 8. Do you feel any emotional "waves" in the world?
If a catastrophe happens that causes a strong emotional reaction in people, can you feel it? You see her?
Step 9. You know who is calling you without being near the phone
Empaths can sense if someone is looking for them.
You might even tell others who is calling them, which is not unusual
Method 2 of 3: Finding Ways to Survive and Get Rich
Step 1. Spend time outdoors, among plants, in the sun or in the moonlight
Does this give you energy and at the same time make you feel calm?
Step 2. Avoid being in too large groups of people
Empaths often get too much emotional stimulation from all sides. It is overwhelming.
Step 3. Avoid watching television, especially for the news, as it can be upsetting rather than useful
You may even resent reporters because they don't seem to feel emotional about what's going on in the world
Step 4. Pay attention to the tendency of empaths towards addiction
Empaths often want to be addicted to substances and habits.
- While any compulsive behavior can work, empaths often use mind-altering substances.
- These can dampen your natural empathic abilities.
- Not all empaths like to be empaths. All empaths wish at certain times not to be empathic. Being an empath actually makes some situations more difficult. Drugs or alcohol can help minimize the growing thoughts and emotions of others for a while.
Step 5. Don't deny that you are different
The truth of what separates you from others doesn't always seem like a gift. At times, it can feel like a prison or a curse. But it is a gift.
Method 3 of 3: Using the Empathic Skill for Good
Step 1. Avoid danger, warn others when you feel hostility
Hostility represents a great emotional mass for the empath.
- Once you feel these vibrations and learn to recognize them as hostility or danger, you can more easily avoid them.
- Even if others don't know you're empathetic, it's often easy to suggest alternative routes to avoid the threat.
Step 2. Always knowing if someone is telling the truth or not saves you time and energy
This awareness eliminates confusion and frustration in many aspects of life.
Step 3. Being good stewards of the earth is a gift from empaths
Many empaths are closely connected to the earth and living creatures.
Step 4. Helping others using both professional and empathic skills is also a job opportunity for many empaths
For clients, this skill paves the way for trust, making them feel safe and supported by someone who values them for who they are.
Advice
- Don't avoid being who you are. If you do, you will just be "stuck" and will almost always feel "deranged", anxious and overwhelmed.
- Recharge yourself through meditation, spending time in nature, swimming or in contact with animals, etc.
- Stay away from "emotional vampires". These are extremely needy people from an emotional point of view, even in the best of times. They will seek you out and wear you out. It is extremely important to cut ties with them.
- If you can, seek out a spiritual or empathic friend to give you advice. Being accepted by someone for all of you goes far in accepting all that comes with being an Empath.
- Read a lot. There is a lot to learn from other empaths, their books and their sharing. You can find them by subscribing to the following site. To sign up, read further and visit the link:

- Respect your gift, but only use it when you feel it is right to do so. You will understand it by yourself.
- Being empathetic can be very exhausting, especially when you don't know why you feel so different from others. Even in these moments, it's a gift to help people and the world heal.
- If in a moment of weakness you happen to say something out loud that you shouldn't have known, don't sink in shame. Simply explain that you have some intuition for things, and forget it.
Warnings
- Remember that while you will always feel inclined to help others and to be the keeper of the world, it is not always and only up to you. Don't allow yourself to be used or taken hostage on an emotional level.
- If you feel the extreme need to feel peace and quiet, or to be alone, follow your instincts. It will help you a lot in helping others and yourself.
- If you are skilled at taking care of yourself and your gift, you will be better able to help others.
- Don't be "alone" with this skill, someone else has to know and accept you. Feeling isolated can be debilitating, if you are "attacked" by another empath, you will receive support. Your emotional needs are also important.
- If you think you have a drug or alcohol problem, that's probably true. Get help now and find other strategies for dealing with the dynamics of being empathetic.
