Are empaths real

It seems trendy for influencers I follow to call themselves empaths. Are they just sensitive, or is that a real thing?

Except for people with certain personality disorders, everyone can feel empathy. Those who claim to be empaths, however, take it to another level entirely. They say they can literally feel what is going on in someone else's body in their own.

It's a pretty extraordinary claim, and as such, it hasn't been conclusively proven, though there are studies that show some people are naturally more empathetic than others. For example, there's a phenomenon called mirror-touch synaesthesia in which someone who sees a person being touched feels that touch on their own skin.

On the whole, though, the levels of empathy empaths purport to possess aren't fully proven.

What happens when two empaths get together?

If they're friends, they hang out, if they're enemies, they fight, if they're indifferent, they ignore each other or introduce themselves. Empaths socialize just like regular people, only they may be sensitive to each other, just like they would be with others, especially if they are both open and receptive. Sometimes, if they both know each other to be an empath, they may practice meditation together or share stories.


What is emotional manipulation?

Emotional manipulation is where someone has complete control over another person's emotions just by twisting their words to make them feel like they are the bad guy. A psychic with this natural ability would be the empath. An empath can sense the emotions of another person psychically. An empath can also influence the emotions of others through the means of sensing their emotions, and then using whatever method that empath has found to be the way they manipulate emotions. Mostly, an empath influences emotions through verbal contact, but that's not the limit. Usually, an empath will project their own emotions; example: if an empath was unhappy and they went into a room full of people, those people would start to take on the empath's current emotion. Empaths project their own emotions to people consciously but unknowingly. Empaths project emotions just like a satellite broadcasts different things out to the world. Empathic Projection is not the same as Empathic Manipulation. Projection is projecting their own emotions to others whereas Manipulation is having control over a person's emotions to induce any emotion on that person. Empaths usually take their gifts to a dark place, thus using them for their own selfish intent. And having the ability to influence emotions isn't something that anyone would want to leave a malicious abuser with, is it? Most empaths do take that route because they think that they can go around manipulating people's emotions when it really isn't all that healthy to be inducing the more dangerous emotions on other people who are happy and content with their lives. Most empaths who have chosen the route of evil do that to people.
