I do not like being an empath

I’m all too aware of other people’s hidden agendas.
Sure, I’m sometimes wrong.
But often not.
I think I might go and live in the woods with bears.
I’m tired of man’s inhumanity to man

Please no posts telling me I’m full of ****

Much love to all

I understand why you'd feel hurt, Fuzzybear! However being aware of other people's TRUE intentions can be an advantage as well! Recognizing those behaviors is the first step we need to take to GET AWAY from those people for our own well-being! Definitely distance yourself from whoever gives you bad vibes! Of course it is not easy to trust other people when you'be been hurt in the past! However we can still try! Just remember to distance yourself when you acknowledge that there's something off about their behavior! I hope things will get better soon for you one way or another! Let us know how things are going for you! WE ALL DO CARE ABOUT YOU! THAT'S A PROMISE! You deserve to live among other caring, wonderful humans just like YOU ARE! PLEASE REMEMBER HOW STRONG YOU ARE! Wish you the best of luck in your healing and in your life! Keep reminding yourself how AWESOME and STRONG you are! Sending many safe, warm hugs to you, Fuzzybear, and to EVERYONE!

Fuzzybear,

As a fellow empath, I empathize with your pain (pun intended lol). Our gifts are needed to soften an often harsh and uncaring world - so I want to encourage you: don't give up! When I find myself discouraged over feeling too much or others' apparent lack of feelings and care for their fellow man, it is often a sign that I am overextending myself. In these moments, I try to step back and practice some self-care. Sometimes, this really does look like escaping and hibernating with the bears for a bit lol. Empathy can often feel burdensome if it is not accompanied with appropriate boundaries.

I hope that you find the time you need to rest and rejuvenate. Love yourself so that you're able to spread that love to others <3

Thanks so much Mickey and vesseloflove for your kind support

Much care and respect

I am also an empath and I wish I could save my gift solely for people who will appreciate it.

I regret "wasting" it on people who were only there to exploit it.

Self-care and setting appropriate boundaries...so important.

I know what you mean ennie

I understand Fuzzy.

I have learnt to be an empath and it is hard when we sense others are only interested in themselves.

The flip side is that we don't allow ourselves to be taken advantage of. Boundaries are important.

Sending respect to all empath's.
