If someone knows what is going on around them, chances are they are an empath. These types of people see the world differently and are very emotional. They are aware of what is going on around them and what other people need.
Being an empath isn’t just emotions it can be physical pain too that is caused by someone else’s intentions. If an empath picks up the experience of those around them, it might be a sensitive time for them.
Having a lot of empathy is one trait with someone that has HSP. HSP is a stimulus that makes people emotional and sensitive. It is likely that most empaths are sensitive but not all sensitive people are empaths.
How can you tell if you are an empath?
Taking Emotions
An empath will take other people’s feelings as their own and will feel what someone else is feeling and will absorb their feelings.
No one knows how this really works but people who have high emotions will pick up on changes of body expression and tone and know what someone else is feeling.
These neurons can make them feel what someone else is feeling as if they are the same person.
Overwhelming Emotions
One on one emotions can happen, and they can happen sometimes when you are alone or without warning. If you are an empath, you can have a hard time in public because you might feel emotional out of nowhere.
Vibe
When you are in a place and it is calm and peaceful you will do well but if there is a problem, you will have a hard time adjusting to the area because you pull the energy in the room in you.
Understanding People
An empath will be absorbing of emotion and will learn to understand what people are going through. They understand and connect.
People Come for Advice

Tragic Events

Empaths, like HSPs do not do well when there is a tragedy.
You Love Animals and Babies

This is a great thing about being an empath because positive things can follow you and bring you joy.
Feel Illness of Others
If someone around you is sick or having pain, you might actually feel the sickness as your own. You might experience shortness of breath or pain or tightness in your body.
This can be uncomfortable and not the gift you want, but it can also be good so you can help others. It isn’t surprising that some nurses and doctors are empaths because they like to take pain away.
Relationships Can Be Overwhelming
Relationships can be challenging but if you have high emotions, they can be even overwhelming. If you are in a relationship and feel flooded with emotion, then you might be an empath. If you are always feeling their energy, then you might have a hard time meeting their demands without getting worn out.
Some people that are empaths stay single because the emotions are too strong, and it is hard to find a partner that will respect these things.
Lie Detector

Not Understandable
There are times that the manager will put their own needs over a team but if you are an empath, you don’t do this. This is because they are leaders and they are great at listening and will always be uniting people to reach the same goal.
