I regard being an Empath to be an *UNWANTED* Curse, especially since people are drawn to me.
And strangers keep talking to me and often telling me their life story and problems, usually UNPROMPTED!
It’s often annoying and VERY DRAINING, especially for a *NON-People* Person! 😡
(Obvi, I am very polite so listen and very empathetic/sympathetic and rarely rude!)
However, it is very useful in FILTERING people outta my life!
And detecting Liars and other UNWORTHY people who do *NOT* pass my Personal Filter Bar!
