31. You are forgiving, sometimes to a fault.
The people in their life often receive an excessive amount of forgiveness from empaths. Empaths aren’t the sort of individuals that retain grudges since they are able to connect with others on an emotional level and feel so profoundly. Instead, they always understand the other person’s perspective. This implies, however, that empaths occasionally attract people who could abuse their kindness, and sometimes this can result in poisonous friendships and partnerships.
32. You have trouble standing up for yourself.
Empaths are the emotional personality type that attracts toxic relationships the most, as was already explained. Since they are always sympathetic and intimately involved in the sufferings of others, empaths struggle to know when to cut ties. They struggle to understand why they should go and perceive it as giving up on a person they can assist. An empath believes they can improve their relationship with someone who may not be treating them well if they simply listen a little longer, love a little more passionately, or give a bit more.
33. You give more than you receive.
An empath offers everything they have—sometimes much more than they realize they are giving. However, many empaths believe that when they want assistance, many of the individuals closest to them fall short of loving them in the same manner that they do others. Empaths who need assistance consequently turn inward and may suppress their feelings since they don’t think others close to them are concerned enough.
34. You are not a reactive human being.
Words carry power, and empaths are aware of this. They are aware that words spoken in a fit of rage or irritation cannot be changed or undone. They are virtually always masters of self-awareness and discipline when it comes to confrontations or unpleasant circumstances since they are aware that some remarks may wound deeply.
Because they don’t want to harm another person, empaths always select their words carefully and always consider the circumstances before letting their emotions get the better of them. They don’t want to make anyone feel depressed, dissatisfied, or misunderstood. Unfortunately, this quality comes with a lot of strain, and empaths can experience breakdowns or mood swings as a result of the intensity of their internal conflict.
35. You are a nurturer, but not an enabler.
Never would an empath give someone what they want to hear merely to make them feel better. They will always approach the talk with honesty and consideration if they were in the wrong or need to improve. Because empaths care so much about the people in their lives, they want to be sure that they are truly assisting those they care about rather just fostering complacency in them.
36. You are often accused of living in your head.
As an empath, you are preoccupied with the events taking on in the world. You tend to think about all the problems others have because you are so impacted by everything around you, or you use daydreaming as a way to get away from your own thoughts.
As a result, empaths are frequently accused of living in their heads. Additionally, since they are frequently engrossed in their own worlds, others may mistake them for narcissists. In actuality, they need to withdraw inside themselves to unwind, calm down, and regain their equilibrium since they are so preoccupied with other people’s thoughts and emotions.
37. Your moral compass is extremely strong.
Sticklers for the truth, empaths are. They hold the conviction that everything in life should be founded on honesty. When they learn that someone has been lying to them, they experience intense hurt as well as tremendous disappointment and perhaps disillusionment.
An empath frequently goes into a spiral when they are lied to or witness injustice in the world connected to anything immoral, and they find it difficult to not be sensitive to the possibility of someone being dishonest.
38. You have an extremely hard time breaking up with others.
Yes, as has already noted, empaths find it difficult to end unhealthy relationships. However, even in situations where they experience nurturing and affection, an empath will still find it very difficult to leave. Empaths are frequently the kind of individuals who would stay in relationships where they are not inspired or fulfilled because they never want to hurt those they care about and those they have strong feelings for.
However, owing to their high level of sensitivity, they will be driven to break up with the person they were dating and may do them more harm than necessary than if they had simply been honest from the beginning. An empath’s drive to protect might occasionally cause more harm than good.
