Very interesting. I'm certainly an empath that's "very perceptive to people’s moods." I tend to absorb their energy and get on their wavelength to relate to them. I don't mind crowds, lists or lots of the stimuli you listed above, but I do have an intense pull towards feeling what others feel -- and that often makes me put them first before me, and also leads to being taken advantage of by some friends and exes who learn how to exploit this. I see it as a sign of strength and awareness. Others see it as a way to manipulate.
Nice post. Hope you didn't mind making that long list there!!
Yeah same I dont mind a crowd as long as its not forcing me to interact. A party? Ugh. A crowded marketplace in Marrakech? Heaven on earth. The thing about these things is theres no one size fits all. We are all so unique. I know you definitely get on high alert reading people you meet on the street.. you would need those skills there! And from the conversations about this with steemians in Discord since I posted, thats a common theme.. empaths/HSP are OFTEN taken advantage of, bullied etc. I would love to know the biological reason for this. We surely must be useful to the survival of species, right? Xx
