As many people know empathy is the ability to feel anothers emotions and pain even if you have never felt it before. Not to be mistaken with sympathy. My grandmother has it, all her kids have it, and now all the grandchildren have it. My grandmother is of course the strongest of all the empaths, she can even sense how a person is who is really far away, even hear their thoughts. The grownups can feel when another person is in love, or happy, or excited, if they're right next to them or in the same room. Not me or my cousins, we can only feel another persons pain, or sadness, anger, low self esteem, we got all the bad things and the feelings don't leave you alone, they stay with you till the end of the day. Is there anyone out there who can help? I really hate this and I want it gone.

Don't hate your empathy it is a gift many are not kind and compassionate rejoice that you have empathy because that is what makes you and your family special and why people gravitate to you in times of need. My husband and I have that gift as well, it comes from the spiritual gift of mercy and also to be able to encourage others which is why I chose encourager4God as my post name. I pray you will be ministered to it sound as though you are a little burned out and could use to be encouraged yourself. God bless you

When you have a talent...why not check it out and learn about it. You do NOT have to take on anyone's pain or discomfort. That is not the responsibility of anyone else! Each must find their way out of their own pain.
Empathy is used in healing to identify then find a solution to the situation. It is not used to carry all the time.
You are way too open to all the energies that float in and around all of us all the time. Start each day with a white light protection exercise that will help to filter the negativity. It will leave you open to be empathic with others on a more dispassionate level.

You hate it now but will long for it should you ever lose the ability. Those are strong emotions. Try being around children to help develop your sensitivity to more positive emotions. Kids rarely give off mixed emotion and they tend to be positive.

I too have a very strong empathy... it can be troublesome a lot of times but there isn't really anything you can do about it.

For god's sake, this is the information age!(i think) Use the ****ing internet. Shields arent that complicated, they can remedy your problem, and i think if you were really serious, you could and would do that already. (And fyi, sensing thoughts is telepathy)
