Empathy, a blessing or a curse!
We human beings are social animals. We cannot live alone and that is why we also say that no person can be an island, which means, without human interaction, a human being will go crazy and die.
However, different people have different way of living and interacting with others, their feelings, their way of understanding and response to others, all are unique.
Among so many variety of peoples, we find some human beings who are highly empathetic and can be called as empaths.
These empaths have a very high level of empathy and emotions that make them tremendously unique and rare and places them in a totally different dimensions in the hierarchy of human status that includes but are not limited to ethnicity or other social boundaries.
Empaths are natural and real healers of wounds, caretakers of mind and heart, changer of emotions and the catalyst for positive reactions!
But, having huge empathy can sometimes also be proved to be a curse. The curse is for the empath themselves. Since empaths can oh so much absorb the emotions and pains of others, it is often seen that they absorb the pain of others at the cost of their own feelings, they strive to provide positive outcomes for others at the cost of having negative for themselves.
And these are the reasons why a different type of negative mindset of group called narcissists are highly attracted towards empaths. Since, narcissists are people who loves attention and only positive validations for themselves at the cost of all of the outside world that resides outside of their body, narcissists love to hunt empaths and establish a relationship with them so that they can be a parasite of the empath's power and drain the empaths down in the hope that their thirsts are meet.
However, being an empath also has its own benefits, for mother nature has provided empaths with a self-healing system in which no matter how broken they are, they start to heal themselves and rise like a phoenix from the ash and cure themselves completely once they with their natural abilities get out of the grasp of their narcissistic partner and block them forever from their lives!
Empaths slowly understand the narcissists attitude, their approach and their goals and in luckily most cases, they develop their fangs and start to slowly disconnect with the parasitic host, making the life of the parasite as much miserable as it can be with the same abilities that they possess to heal others!
Hence, while empaths might feel being in curse for their abilities to absorb negative energies of people, they are also very deservingly lucky to have the same healing abilities for themselves that will heal them in a way that is mysteriously a miracle!
I used to be a serial emphatic, but I had to grow a little crude cos I couldn't take the pain of too many any more
