i've found that i've always "had" the gift of empathy. it was always just a matter of how i "used" it. if that makes sense
i have friends who are clearly very empathetic. the thing that i've run into, is that often times the sensitivity is so much that that the "empath" sets up their defenses and doesn't let anything in. they can't relate to others, or to themselves. though the potential for further developing that gift is there
so, i'm not even sure what we are talking about when we speak of "empaths." are we only talking about those who have developed this gift to a "positive" degree? are those folks what are considered to be "empaths?" or are we speaking simply of those who are sensitive to other's energies, not necessarily having developed or become aware of their gift?
what are we talkin bout here?
