How do I handle meeting another empath? In August 2016 I meet an older woman. Upon meeting her I just felt uncomfortable bad vibes or something. I eventually got the vibe that this woman was just like me. Until I meet her I was convinced I was the only one. This woman tried to get me to relax as she could sense my uneasiness and distrust. The more she tired the more a I closed off. I ended up feeling victimized by this woman. I took me awhile and I eventually worked through these feelings and came to the conclusion that was me not her.

Some how these feelings of uncontrollableness as manifested into a deep attraction to this woman and long for deep connection to this woman and I’m depressed because I’m not connected with her.

In November of last year i had a chance to speak with her but I didn’t. The second I saw all the feelings of uneasiness came back and i felt vulnerable. I could sense her wanting me to acknowledge her but I didnt I snubbed her.
Why do I feel uncomfortable because this woman senses me and knows my intentions.

This woman senses my distrust towards her and possibly attraction. This causes feelings of awkwardness towards each other.

I recently tried to connect with her but she was gone that day but would like another opportunity. Also I feel really awkward around her and she knows it. It other words she senses my hot mess of emotions towards her.

As an empath it’s difficult not to fall into a very specific trap. That trap is assuming we’re actually able to “mind read”. Empathically, were so in tune with other people that it’s easy to forget that we are making calculated guesses based on information going into our brain that we sift through with biases based on previous life experience. We can heavily rely on our empathic abilities, but those guesses or assumptions are NOT always correct.

It seems like you may have fallen into this trap. You are making a huge amount of assumptions about this woman without having a real conversation with her. Assumptions that are unfair to her (and to you in the end), because they are keeping you both from connecting. I would suggest letting go of your “mind reading” assumptions and ask yourself what other possibilities there could be.

Ie: she likes your personality just fine, and hasn’t really noticed any awkwardness between you guys because she is busy with life etc.

Remember that life is a fun road trip, and not everyone is riding in the same type of car. Not everyone will think like you do. Even two empaths will have different thought patterns and life experiences

I think when two empaths meet, they have to be in sync, even when not in connection
