Being an empath

I am an empath. Meaning I feel deeply and might even appear sensitive to some. I tear up easily and connect on ways that make me feel vulnerable. I can read a room and feel the energy, ‘knowing’ certain things before anyone even opens their mouth. That ‘knowing’ can be a gut feeling, a vibe, an aura, an intuition that I’ve come to pay attention to.

Sometimes this feels like a curse, other times it is my super power. I have to be careful to not let my empath powers be confused for my own shit and judgments. When that happens, I’m horribly wrong about something or someone. Discernment is key.
