One can be an Empath from childhood. They are called natural Empaths who inherit this ability allowing them to experience in higher frequency of awareness. Some people develop their empathic abilities later in life when they are more aware. Empaths are always sensitive people.

Marked by an acute sensitivity to the feeling of others, Empaths can actually feel another persons pain and can heal it in some way. Since Empaths pick up on the feelings of others, there is a great understanding and ability to really “see” the other person. Others tune into the Empaths energy and tend to gravitate towards them knowing they are “safe” with this empathetic person.

Empaths can have a very expressive personality, are great listeners and often seen counseling and not just in the professional area, they will always find themselves helping others out and putting their own needs aside to do so. Very often there can be a swing to the opposite end of the spectrum being quiet with a need to withdraw from the outside world to be alone and daydream.

Empaths make great friends or lovers for life but are literally crushed if the friendship or relationship is abused. They will through many experiences and heartaches become more selective. Though Empaths may have a large circle of friends, they generally only have a few trusted ones. Oftentimes Empaths attract jealousy in others because of their many talents, loving nature and natural ability to get along with and network with so many people. The jealousy will hurt an Empath as they really cannot comprehend this behaviour, or lack of compassionate understanding.

Empaths usually achieve in quiet and not one to brag about their talents and interests. They will often promote the talents of others before their own. Accepting compliments aren’t always easy. Empaths are usually facially expressive as well expressive with their emotions and feelings. Talking openly and honestly on all topics is characteristic of an Empath. Because Empaths are frequently the recipient of listening to others problems they often retreat into the quiet of their minds eye. Oftentimes, the need to block out others is great so that the energy balance is restored.

Empaths tend to be peacemakers, are non aggressive and non violent. In fact, some have an acute sensitivity to violence of any kind on TV, in films and especially in “real life” situations. Any infliction of pain or violence to others, especially animals and children will cause the Empath to feel physically ill and retreat. Often times the memories of those images will replay itself.
