I'm really curious about something... I'm looking for some guidance and insight. How does one know if they are an empath? I ask for a specific reason. It really seems to me the "nose" we sometimes hear in our minds may somehow be linked??? especially for those with add/ADHD, etc. I've often wondered if I have that ability. I've heard everyone is too a degree but how do you harness it to help navigate life?

@AriEden please explain how all empaths are not good friends? Perhaps you have had a bad experience, but I hardly doubt you can group any type of people as one and label them in such a way. I don't believe you intended to mean that.
I consider myself to be very empathetic. For a long time this impacted my life in a negative way. Now I consider it to be a strength and use it to make my life better. I had to develop a strong sense of self and learn how to set boundaries. Here is an article that does a good job of summarizing what I've learned: https://embrace-autism.com/the-different-types-of-empathy/#II_Dual_empathy Hope it helps!

@Tuckwood thanks for the info. I will look into it
empaths aren't real friends
I don’t understand
Look up "how do i know if i am an empath". That will give you more of an idea what aspects one has. I have several empaths in my family. I am one, but have not embraced it, so my abilities are limited. My mother and granddaughter are. An empath is very sensitive to the energy around them and other people. They tend to feel the emotions of others as if its happening to them. They can sense good and bad energies. I think of it as a 6th sense or intuition. Some go beyond sensing energy. They can see and/or communicate with spirits. As for harnessing it, I'm not sure since I tend to block or push it away. I know it can definitely be overwhelming. Look up "how to embrace or harness being an empath". It will give you several ideas and guidelines to try. I hope this helps. I wish you the best as you work your way through this.
I am really not sure but I have been told I am one. I feel anyone's energy if I am around them whether they are depressed or mad pretty much any and all energy all I can say is that it is very tiring and at times depression and anxiety riden I hope this helps
