Empaths, yes or no?

This is exactly how I am but I had no idea it was a women thing maybe I am women inside lol wait so do we call me a he or she now? what do I identify as? I don't know who I am...
All joking aside I don't think it is a direct spiritual gift but I do know that empathy is a very special gift that God has used me with many times before, to be able to put yourself in their shoes and understand what they are feeling and going through does wonders for helping others through things.

If you feel bad for someone when they tell you bad things that happened to them, or come into the room looking really sick, that's regular empathy.

What I was talking about in my post is perceiving someone's emotions by feeling them, sometimes when you have no hints by natural means.

Yet Jesus was never numb to the pain or suffering of the masses.

I believe all humans have a measure of empathy except sociopaths who like to play mind games.

They intellectually understand emotions but constantly claim to have no emotions or to "be numb". Then they try and convince others this is a natural thing for them and may be helpful if others were numb also.

If we didn't have empathy we wouldn't care if a child is abused or others exploited and robbed by bandits.

It would be a world of people "looking out for number one" meaning themselves and not God.

Jesus was not numb. He cried tears of blood for this world.

The spirit world is not Eastern or Western. It is a reality that the Bible speaks about.

Learn from God. Read your Bible. Pray. And learn discernment from the Holy Spirit.

For not all who post on internet forums are friends to the children of God.

I'm very confused on this issue. Having feelings of empathy and compassion for others is what I was always told was the Christ-like thing to do. Why would we have been created to have these emotions, if they are wrong? Doesn't make any sense to me. This is just an issue I guess some people will never agree on.

Thank you. You explained it so much better than I did. You have a way with words. This is exactly what I was trying to say.

empath is a bad word? ok

emapthy people might run into the risk of becoming a social camelion because of how feelings can be derived from the general consensus of the crowd, and they can confuse their own feeling with the feelings of others or even the whole crowd

which makes me wonder what would happen in a crowd of social camelions?

my theory on what the crowd of social camelion might be like ...

... they mimic how each other act while others observe others

everyone is a mirror to everyone

if they are aware that it's a reflection of themselves they'd be paralyzed by self-consciousness and become "inauthentic"

if they are not aware, they'd just "observe and imitate"

Man, you are speaking to my inner chameleon. I need to avoid this kind of behavior, acclamate but don't disassociate with who I am in the process . It is all about balance.

I also love sociopaths, because I want to believe sociopaths are also human beings, they have nerve endings, they can feel pain

how am I even be able to speak like that? speaking to people's soul

I have nothing to do with the occult, I swear

um, don't swear, the bible says, don't swear

I can sense how they might feel hated by society, with their guts hated by torches and pitchforks

and, the issue to overcome the fear of cowardice

or, maybe there's something I don't understand

Hahaha, You are a delight. May your wisdom, sprinkled with creative and clever wit reign on.
But isn't that the problem, that they lack the ability to feel or care how others are feel or how to overcome?

when someone at the fish store scale the insights, my thoughts immediately go "I definitely don't want to be that fish", or "I can be thankful, I'm not that fish"

trying to imagine what not being able to feel?

hmm, what does nothing feel like? besides depression?
can't imagine

I think indifference is a mighty sad condition to be in.

If they can't be reformed, then do as you wish

closest thing to not being able to feel? when I feel my own pullen tooth that happened months or years ago, it feels a bit eerie to feel the tooth with my own hands, and be like "I can't feel anything about it", and how powerfully feelings can dominate our lives when it's strongly connected
