Oh man, I thought it was an everyone thing . I get super drained out in public (that's why I hang here instead) I even try not to watch violent movies bc if someone gets punched or stabbed or whatever it hurts

I mean sometimes if people are physically hurt I feel a weird sensation in my legs but I don't think it's like that

This is also me!

An emotional empath is someone who is highly sensitive to the emotions of others and can feel their feelings as if they are their own.


Explanation

• Empathy: The ability to understand the feelings of others
• Emotional empathy: The practice of sharing and understanding another person's emotional experience

Empaths may have a natural predisposition to experience empathy more intensely than others. They may also be more likely to take on the feelings of others, which can sometimes be detrimental to their own emotional well-being.
