It seems to me you are. You are quick to open your heart and let people in. I personally think that is awesome! I just think you need to be more aware of your patterns.

Being open hearted is a beautiful thing. But it also lends itself to over believing in people. With that said, empaths tend to ignore red flags. The thinking being, love can overcome all obstacles. Which I think is a beautiful thought. But not everyone subscribes to that belief. So that's where the boundaries on yourself comes in. When you feel red flags, don't ignore them. It means it's time to pull back a little. Typically and empath will do the opposite. We double down our bets and go for it even more. This can sometimes lead to disastrous results and moreover pain and suffering for the empath.

If you feel you are an empath you owe it to yourself to check out that forum. Read what others are saying. I am sure you will find some solace there.

Here's good reference to start with.

Be well!
