When friends talk to you, do they feel heard because you can put yourself in their shoes and respond in a way that showsyou understand their emotions? You may be a empath, a person with "the ability to feel the subjective feelings and experiences of others. What empathy really represents is the ability of human beings to form close connections with one another emotionally," writes author Brian Sandler.



That's the good news. The bad news is that empaths can absorb the energy of those around them.Being an empath makes you particularly vulnerable to narcissists-people who view the world only through the lens of their own wants and needs. They will behave without regard to your feelings and use your empathy to manipulate you.

"Interacting with a narcissist will be fraught with danger because you will never be certain whether the person you are dealing with is using against you what you tell them or what you share with them emotionally," warns Sandler in EMPATH: A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR INTROVERTS AND HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE.

Empath discusses the traits of the highly sensitive person (HSP) as well describing empaths and narcissists. Will you recognize yourself?
