Recently, I decided to do a little research into the what and how of an empath. I learned some amazing and interesting bits of information.

What is an empath?

I loved your article. Can I still be an empath and love horror?

I cry easily, which I don't like, especially when it comes to certain types of movies, Youtube videos and even commercials. I try to avoid them. I can't tell you how many times people have approached me to talk and spilled their life stories, looking at me puzzled afterward and telling me that they didn't know why they told me what they did. I'm also a writer, have a very active imagination (that keeps me awake) and have always loved animals.

Keep up the great work! Loved the article.

Thanks so much for your reply! We sound so much alike. Do you have any trouble with too much sensory input? I have been noticing it causes anxiety in me lately. The last few years...

You are so welcome Amoeba. I do have trouble with too much sensory input at times. My mind runs amok sometimes. I have some seriously disturbing dreams now and then. Then I have those dreams that are ones that you want to repeat. I haven't mastered lucid dreaming yet.
