How to Love an Empath | What they need to feel safe in relationships

Not just healers. Empaths are the Tinker Bells of this world. They spill magic powder all around ❤️

i am a highly sensitive person.I get burned out very easily.I frequently have to curl up with a blanket and lie down in order to get my strenght back. My narcissistic mother used to shame me, because i was not extroverted.

Im a empath. I had to create boundaries for myself to navigate peacefully in this world. 1) Never ask for love, give it! 2) Never ask for respect, give it! 3) Never ask for an apology, give it! but only if it truly comes from your heart! 4) One day you will die, and the sun will rise and it wont be late. So enjoy every moment because it is beautiful!

I think at the age of 59 I’m just about done with relationships all together. We now live in a society where being fake and dishonest is the new norm. I’m drained both physically and emotionally. I used to be social, but no longer look to meet new people. I feel safer and more healthy alone.

I’m a Empath too. It’s been a struggle, but learning more about myself has helped me tremendously.

"Being an empath is a trait, not an illness". Love that sentence! Empaths are social creatures. Yet I have the impression that they are not perceived as such. I have often been called "asocial" because I do not like to network (in a crowded area with bad acoustics) or because I do not subscribe to the idea of "self-branding" and shallow smalltalk. It appears to me that our (Western) societies are overvaluing competitive behaviour, while undervaluing caring and compassionate people. That is a pitty. At best, some individuals value empaths for who they are; but how to lever this from the individual to the societal level?

If you're an empath, learn how to express your own feelings to your partner. They can give you alone time, but they can't decipher your feelings for you. And they cant support you if you can't honestly say "I feel ****"

Sometimes I see a clip of an animal suffering or someone getting hurt, and that two-seconds image hunts me for days. Thus, it continues making me sad, or not at my best happy self, and a lot of people, who are not empaths or don't understand what it is, keep nagging with their ''oh get over it already". It is a blessing and a curse to be an empath. I embrace this trait. It was very comforting hearing "it ain't an illness". Thank you

watching this for my girlfriend. been living together for 2 years. this explains so much that was right in front of me and I didn't realize it until you said it. you're literally describing my girlfriend. i need to learn much much more.

Empath loving another empath is gold. 🥺☺️❤️

I can’t begin to tell you how much your videos have supported my journey to overcoming codependency, understandings self love and being an empath. Thank you for the work that you do Stephanie!

Just like many facets of our being, empathy plays an integral role in providing stability, peace and harmony in our lives. I too am glad to have this ability. And of course, any ability as far as we know has it's painful fallible kryptonite and a "dark side" to it. We're not perfect, no one is, and that's part of the beauty of it too as well as learning and striving to be better.

Wow as a kid I didn’t know boundaries due to abuse but I would ask my parents to tell my friends I couldn’t hang out cause I didn’t want to 😂

I also feel really drained after crowded social situations. Makes sense.

Thank you for this video Stephanie, I used to view being an empathic person as a curse, because I care way too much. But now I view it as a gift. I once had a relationship end, because the person I was with could not understand why i needed alone time. They actually thought I was cheating on them. Or if we got into an argument, and I walked away without saying anything, they thought it was because i didn't care, but I process things differently than they did. Its nice to know a fellow empathic person who understands me. By the way you are awesome Stephanie, keep up the good work!

Great video Stephanie !!!! Everything you said is true!!!! I believe that another Empath is the only one who really understands another Empath.

Yes. Super awesome info. I also am an empath. The hardest part of this is feeling everyone else’s emotions and learning how to shrug it off. Especially when you are in toxic situations..... when they’re angry... I feel my blood pressure boil. When they’re fine.... I feel great. When they’re satisfied ( which is hardly never ) I am happy. When they’re sad or depressed... I battle it for a day or two. It’s brutal. Takes me that long to shrug it sometimes and then I start to revive. 😩 Throughout all the stone walling, etc... I fake the smile and keep on pushing but the wall is extremely high and difficult. Ty so much for the video

My ex never let me have that sought after time alone. Yes. So exhausting!

I'm an empath but I love social situations but afterward phew! I need time to decompress. Usually though I want to decompress while my partner holds me and chills with me many times, just watch a movie and relax. No one else around.

One thing i've always hated about myself is the fact that i couldn't help but cry in the middle of arguments or confrontations. And that made me feel weak and pathetic. But now i understand where it comes from.. thank you for your videos beautiful :)
