So you think you are an empath

[morefaithrequired]

I might describe myself as an empath. if I wasn't such an unreliable listener.
But Ive noticed in this hyper psychologically aware world, that people are attracted to such labels.
"I'm one of the good guys. Not like one of those nasty narcissists!"
So you are either a narcissist or an empath. You couldn't possibly be both? that would be too confusing. Yes I much prefer to keep it simple.
I suffer and those other people cause my suffering! narcissists go to Hell and empaths go to Heaven. they took advantage of my nice nature and I would've spoiled my totally nice reputation by standing up to them. So I didn't stand up to them.
I do occasionally listen very well to people. Probably because I like them. they said something that struck a chord. But if they become talkaholics, I start to feel very sorry for myself. And I wonder if this suffering is a waste. yeah ok "look Im really busy at the moment. sorry I have to leave"....wow I said it ! How assertive I am! Feel the power! But look...he feels sad and neglected that I cut him off. How cruel I am! You mean Im a perpetrator now...not a victim? this is confusing....

Not sure the point of your statement. Personnaly, I don't believe any human can read minds via paranormal powers, which is what an empath is suppose to be capable of.

Also don't know why being an empath would assure someone of going to heaven.

A part of being a part of Christ's Kingdom is being the suffering servent. The person that has done nothing wrong and yet has to deal with all of the consequences. He love those folks so much!

A suffering servant doesn't need paranormal powers though. Agape love will serve them.

Empath is a occult thing. Listening and having compassion has nothing to do with being a empath

Empath has been used as a sci fi term. Being empathic is different.
empathic | adjective showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another: an attentive, empathic listener | tears may elicit an empathic response in people.
Giving a listening ear, and looking to connection to someone else through this listening is a good and God given thing. Some people are better at hearing, giving wise counsel and encouraging. I think of people who are empathic are good at hearing what is not said, as in seeing the sadness in someone's eye, the tension in how they hold their body, or their tone. There is nothing psychic about it.
Being a narcissist is an inability or lacking the interest in another person unless it serves their purposes. I would not see the same person being both.

i just saw the opportunity to divide the world into empaths and narcissists.
You mean there are other kinds of people?

 

[oldethennew]

we understand that you are feeling quite 'alone and peculiar' but, we also see and discern that you are at a 'cross-worlds'
and are in need of guidance!!! - but, you are also a person who believes that they only know the answers to what
they are seeking, thus, not a receiver...
HELLO!!! none of us have all of the answers that we are seeking, but those of us who truly Love and Obey our Master,
know for SURE that we will eventually be blessed with His Knowledge, simply because we do truly do Love and Obey Him,
at All costs....
