People Are Arguing About Empaths On Twitter, And They’re Making Some Really Good Points
- Updated
Empaths care deeply about other people. They cannot stand seeing loved ones–or even strangers–hurting because their emotions are impacted by the people around them. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the way that an empath’s heart works. Twitter has been arguing over empaths, and here are some of the most fascinating Tweets on the topic:
I think people who don't understand what an empath is, but insult them anyways, are just really insecure. 🤷

An empath is someone who has experienced trauma and has not death with it and project it, it does not mean they are empathetic. Spiritually, they believe they can sense others emotions because of their struggles. So they tend to reflect as a mirror.

Nope, it means psychologically traumatized to a point animal instincts kicked in and you pick up other peoples emotions. But because we don't really recognize that as a thing it doesn't get filtered and other peoples emotions can overwrite your own. Including the below surface…

That more or less is what it means. OP and those agreeing have been exposed to people abusing the term and now have an incorrect understanding of its meaning.

Actual empaths as a group are far from narcissistic, most of them consider it a curse.
And you don’t even need to be empathetic to be a good person! Everyone thinks that you do but that’s so far from the truth 😩

Some useful terms to google to learn more: empath, HSP, empathetic, sympathetic, EQ etc. The original tweet is just classic amplification of a generally little-understood concept all around and people are being truly awful

this doesn't make sense. if they're an empath, then they're both feeling the same. that's the point.

Real empathetic people would never behave they way all of you are describing. You’ll know one when you meet one. This thread is full of judgements about people, but don’t discount the validity of someone’s life experience. Say they are full of it and not bash those that are real.

This is a great microcosm for disputes over mere “words” & projected inept generalizations today. I hope people can objectively look at most situations like you & acknowledge the vast array of variables that go into things, after all isn’t that the whole point of communicating ?

i finally found someone who isn't just shitting hate everywhere 👏

honestly empaths hate themselves enough, we don't any more of it 🤷
you mean an energy vampire

the point is that people who go around proclaiming themselves as "empaths", never are.

I think it’d be more worrisome if someone DIDNT feel empathy for a person crying 🤔

it means you're going to have to put up with a lot of misinformation and hate threads, much like this one 🙃

good luck, remember to set healthy boundaries and learn your limits
What’s interesting about this totally inaccurate thread about empaths is that people are actually having the conversations. The masses are becoming aware of subtle energies. Now the real work begins. It might not be pretty. Those who don’t get it, will get their chance to get it.
