IVE BEEN SAYING like 90% of what people describe as an empath is just being a human being…not to mention they’re usually the WORST people ever

my hot take as a therapist is the more times you call yourself an empath, the more narcissist adjacent you are.

“I’m an empath” they say before they say the least empathetic thing on the planet. Every time.

it's lowkey npc culture. "empaths" can't imagine other people have the same level of interiority and perception, they think they feel things on a deeper level bc other people don't announce every feeling they have

I feel like real empaths would never say they're an empath

I always counter with “if you don’t also catch other peoples joy and love, only sadness or anger, you’re not an empath, you’re traumatised”

Only they’re actually NOT. 9/10 when an empath tells me they know what I’m feeling, they’re completely off base. It’s a delusion, they convince themselves they know more than they do

Karlos el Scrapper 🦶🎲 :
Sometimes it is also a trauma response called mind reading. When children grow up in environments that are unpredictable and toxic, they often become adults who think that they have to constantly read the room and forecast where other people are thinking so that they can act accordingly before they get hurt.

I think people who call themselves empaths have such a low opinion of other people that they assume their very basic human empathy is actually some rare hypersensitivity. It's misanyhropy in disguise.

9 times out of 10 the people I’ve met that call themselves empaths are some of the least empathic people

How do I describe that no matter what, I can’t stay mad at people because I read into every detail about them that makes them the person doing the thing I’m mad about. I think people say empath and mean that, and try to frame it as a positive thing when it’s really not. Because it causes issues for you and other people in your life

It just screams “I make YOUR feelings and experiences about ME!!” And it’s also usually just some form of codependency and hyper-vigilance. Which are both not actually helpful or healthy.

the comments are WILD. look at this world. empathy is NOT basic. its nowhere to be found. and when I say I‘m an empath I do NOT mean that I‘ll make everything about my emotions but I mean crying out of nowhere for hurting animals and humans on this planet and all the horrible things going on. thats what most of us mean. I mean the moods of people around me instantly taking me over eventhough I do not want it. not the weird mystical „i am so different“ people. side note: i have audhd.

It feels really pretentious when people say it about themselves 😭 And they're almost always secretly judgmental as hell for some reason
