5 Superpowers Of An Empath
Do you ever wonder why people have the gift of empathy? Have you tried to run away from your deep understanding of people rather than embrace your gifts? Being an empath, I understand the daily struggles you go through, but I am on a mission to help you realize your true superpowers! Let’s start by going over the powers of an Empath.
Superpowers as an Empath
As an empath, you can have many superpowers. Here are 5 of the most common ones:
- Reading people’s emotions: Empaths are able to quickly pick up on the emotional states of those around them, allowing them to better understand and relate to them.
- Detecting lies: Empaths have a heightened awareness that can help them detect lies and manipulation.
- Feeling energy: Empaths are sensitive to energy and can sense it in the environment.
- Absorbing emotions: Empaths are able to absorb emotions from those around them, allowing them to better understand what someone is going through.
- Healing power: Empaths can help heal those around them through their empathy and understanding.
My Daily Struggle As An Empath
I have had so many sleepless nights, just wishing I wasn’t empathetic. To make things worse, people around me didn’t understand what I was going through. I felt alone and lost. I completely lost my identity because I was always picking up the energies around me. Alone, lost, and with nowhere to escape, what do I do?
Before my current partner, I was married for 10 years to a man. I spent most of the time being trapped in a relationship of always doing what he wanted. When he was happy, it meant I didn’t have those awful energies around me. I made it my mission to make sure I was his cheerleader, until one day I couldn’t do it anymore.
I would ask when to eat, who to call, and even when to move. The crazy thing is, I thought it was all okay. I didn’t realize I was in a controlling relationship until near the end. I look back and think, did I really ask to eat?! What the fuck, how could I get caught in that cycle? But the truth is, being empathetic has made it very hard to get out of situations like that. As long as he thought it was okay, I believed it too.
The more I focused on myself, the more he hated it! I started discovering that being empathetic does not have to be a burden. It can be a gift if you let it! I am on a mission to help you discover your superpowers because there are so many you have that you can’t see.
