5 Extraordinary Traits Of Highly Empathetic People

A highly empathetic person has usually some traits that make them unique. They can feel emotions and energies like no other. Sometimes, they sense these emotions so powerfully that they tend to think it's a curse rather than a trait. But that's not true. It is a trait and it's in fact really useful and extraordinary.

Here are five of the most important powers of an empath.

1) Empaths can read minds.

Mind reading is one of those things that empaths do well. Some of us can read minds to some extent, but not so much as an empath. Our mind reading includes paying attention to body language and monitoring non-verbal communication, while empaths can truly know thoughts without really paying much attention to gestures.

An empath also picks up on sounds, pictures and other things that show them that something critical is being relayed. When an empath focuses on these indicators, they can create an even stronger connection with their psychic abilities. So, if you think you’re an empath, embrace these gifts.

2) Empaths are their own superheroes.

This can occur from being so much in touch with their own feelings. There are many times, following negative comments from friends, when you could return an even more negative input, but you won’t.

Since empaths are in touch with their feelings, they can find a way to respond in a kind yet decisive manner and guide the discussion in a whole new direction. It requires patience, practice and a fortified desire to transform the way you communicate with others.

3) Empaths can turn negative energy into positive feelings.

If something negative has happened seconds before an empath entered a room, the empath will sense it. It’s a two-step strength as the empath can both feel this negative energy and they can also turn it into something positive.

All they need is a little humor, which they add to any given situation, to transform a negative discussion into something quite pleasant. They can tell jokes, announce good news or just be silly.

4) Empaths can use their sensitivities to improve the world.

Limitations don't necessarily mean weaknesses as they can also reflect nature’s way of recruiting you to improve the world.

Don't ever think being an empath is trouble because it's not. Being an empath means being extraordinary in a good way that allows you to change yourself and the people around you into something better.

5) Empaths can be highly intuitive.

Empaths usually experience the world following their intuition. It is significant for them to develop their intuition by listening to their gut feelings about other people. That helps empaths find positive, long-lasting relationships and avoid the toxic ones.
