Without further ado, here are 10 signs you are an empath.
Empaths can, in laymans terms, put themselves in other peoples shoes with astounding intensity.
Empaths, likeshamans, are able to absorb illnesses and negativity from people around them.

Unfortunately, shamans are better able to deflect unwanted energies than most empaths.
I personally find essential oils and crystals to be very beneficial to keeping unwanted energies at bay.
You Feel A Connection To Nature And Animals
Not be cliche, but this is a big sign.
You dont need to be a full blown nature fanatic to feel the connection.
Youre Known For Having Turbulent, Intense Emotions
This isnt necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, it can be a truly wonderful thing at times.
You experience love and happiness in such large quantities that it brings about intense euphoria and peace within you.
Sex can be extremely fulfilling and intense, especially if you love the person youre with.
One small act of kindness can mean the world to them.
But you also experience sadness, anger, and guilt at these extremes too.
The worst part is thatsometimes these emotions arent even your own.
If someone around you is having a bad day, you are now as well.
Empaths must be careful not to absorb too much negativity to prevent severe depression and other mental health problems.
One small ignorant comment has the potential to shatter them.
Youre an expert at reading peoples intentions and judging their character.
It may not be right every time, but it is rightmostof the time.
Youre Sensitive To The Paranormal
Have you ever felt like you feel watched?
Have you ever had dreams of a dead loved one giving you a message?
Do strange things happen around you?
Just look at it this way:energy cannot die, and all living things have energy.
So what happens when your physical body dies?
Of course, this is just my belief.
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, no matter how strange they may seem to others.
Animals And Children Gravitate Towards You
Do children and animals seem to stare at you for no obvious reason?
They may be seeing something most of us cantyour aura.
An aura is your energy field.
It reflects your true personality and emotions with colors.
Well, thats up for you to decide.
Bottom line is they know something about you is special, so they gravitate towards you.
You may even overanalyze everything and worry excessively about what kind of mark youre leaving on the world.
Youre Misunderstood More Often Than Not
Are you often told youre too emotional?
That you have unpredictable mood swings?
That the littlest things become a big deal to you?
Well, thats because people dont understand the sheer intensity of your emotions.
Like I said before, this isnt necessarily a bad thing.
Youre quite literally on a higher emotional level than most people, so of course they wouldnt understand you.
I know all too well that this may seem damn near impossible, but it really is doable.
Dont take all I just said as theres something wrong with me, I have to change.
No, you dont need to change.
You wont be able to completelychangeanything.
I am talking about coping with the emotional energies being constantly thrown at you and conjured within you.
You want to be able to put yourself in its shoes andsee life from its perspective.
But given youre an empath, it doesnt take much effort to do this at all.
In fact, you might even experience it when you dont want to.
because of their ability to understand the reason behind almost everything and everyones actions and feelings.
This is a major source of all the misunderstanding towards real empaths.
These points are just my honest opinion.
You Only Experience Mood Swings, Anxiety, Depression, etc.
Youre Highly Emotional, But Nothing Else
This is something that confuses many people.
Just being highly emotional does NOT make you an empath.
As Ive been saying, empathy is much, much more than just being too sensitive and overemotional.
Theres not much else to say other than it doesnt really make sense.
Newsflash: Being a liar isnt cool.
The life of an Empath is a difficult one, but that goes for anyone with a gift.
A gift that has to be nurtured and cared for.
Learn to embrace your gift and love yourself everything else will follow suit.
