Is Overactive Empathy Ruining Your Life? As a very empathic person (a VEP ), I have spent a lot of energy over the last few years learning how to manage my empathy and establishing better energetic boundaries with those around me.
I have noticed that many other people, especially clairsentient, sensitive, intuitive and lightworker types often have similar problems with their empathy and energetic boundaries. I decided it might be a good idea to do a series of articles on my own experiences with empathy: how I realized mine was a problem and how I learned to turn my empathy off, as some people haven’t even realized that their empathy is a problem. They just know they have weird tendencies to feel bad around other people. So, this is the first article in this series and it talks about the signs of overactive empathy and I relate many of my own experiences. Wrong Planet - Autism Community. Autism Speaks.
