What really is an empath


Posts: 9306

 

I'm trying to understand, by doing research. But I Just don't understand the difference between an empath and a normal person. 

Isn't most everyone capable of these things? Liike this is fairly normal stuff I thought 

 

Like what are some examples of true empaths, where is the term really derived from and who developed this grouping. Is this an accepted terminology used by psychologists, just like psychopath and sociopath? Or, is this not a thing. 

 

I'm just not seeing how it isn't normal yet. 

 

Scientific data and research would be particularly appreciated regarding empaths. 

 

I understand it has to do with mirror neurons and processing patterns them but, that's about all the knowledge I have on it that is more academically sound.

i consider people who don't have at least a bit of this ability to be kind of "other", and naturally prefer associating with people who do have some of this ability. like, i can tell they're one of "those" that don't.... "get it"

 

it's not that they're stupid, they're just, def not operating on the same plane. at all. 

 

around other intuitives and empaths i feel like i can relax more, and the beat of the conversation flows... better. i guess is a really rudementary way of describing it.

This is totally me but I think a lot of ppl exist on this plane so it’s not as unique or mysterious as they’re making it out to be. 

Its just not being an idiot

 

whenever people encounter me I’m bringing them to a higher consciousness and improve them in someway 

 

if I chose to let that happen

 

sometkmes I try to remain nuetral so I don’t get involved but somehow just even my presence has an astounding effect on people to open up and realize things deep within themselves in order to make pivotal changes 

 

this is normal with human interaction though it’s just what humans do. They grow and learn from interacting with others

Any time someone calls themself an empath i take it to mean they are actually a sociopath who believes it's rare for people to feel empathy, and they think anouncing this ability to feel empathy will make people trust them

Sc is pretty boring.

 I just don’t understand how all of this stuff listed in all the videos I’ve shared in this thread is... “abnormal” as they’re making it out to be. 

 

The truth js is all of this is very common. My question is who says. Ya know? Who says this specific grouping of traits means you are this labeled thing. Why? Ya know. 

 

Wheres the science behind it. Quantifiable data.

An empath is a type of character we sometimes see in science fiction who has the ability to detect and experience how others are feeling, thus giving them a clear intuition on what the source might do.

That is slightly different than empathy as we can take on what others are feeling, but only when the sources feelings are translated into the physical and we pick it up with one of our basic senses.

A malicious sociopath couldn't even begin to talk to an empath cause the empath knows in advance that person is full of shit. The lies and schemes and other behaviors associated with someone whose up to no good, might even make an empath embarrised for them.

That being said anyone can have near empath level detection, once they get a taste of just about any baffling headcase that inserts themselves into their life. 

In short the word empath is used too losely.

Yeah the definition seems like cherry picking random traits that have no business being associated and just saying 

 

hey if you do all these things you’re an empath! 

 

And its like but, don’t we all?

FFS

Empathy is just being more particularly affected by the subtle cues and connections between people. It's not all that special.
