It makes your empathy weak, or untapped. Empathy is a normal human functioning. You can research the actual process and you will find much more information than just looking at it as a "magickal" thing:
Here is Wiki to get you started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy
You may be trying too hard? And it is possible that they could be lying about you reading them wrong.
People who are very in tune with their telepathy can become hypersensitive to emotions, even ones faked in movies or pictures, but it can be dealt with and put under control. You just have to stay in check and learn to identify when it becomes too much or uncomfortable.
you cannot become an empath, your either born one, or your not. true empathy is a rare gift,a d has its own pitfalls, and benefits.
This post I agree with. I have a child who is an empathy and it has not always been easy for him and he has been worked with with his gift ALWAYS!
I think what I would like to know is WHY do you want to be an empath? Perhaps you have a misconception being an empathy. Would you please tell me why you want to be an empath
nativeeagle.....this statement I do not agree with and in fact know it is not totally true
" once you open it up, you will not be able to stop anything that comes you way; good and bad. "
as an empath you can learn to control what you receive and how much you receive and if you receive anything......yes this takes working with the gift/ability but it can be done
In my opinion the hardest part about being an inexperienced or new empath is in knowing which emotions are truly yours and which are those of others and then how to express and act on those emotions.
true empath are born that way .. how ever most ppl can develop empathy, the steps to doing so have already been touched on so i will say no more however lol as a true empath my self (as in i was born with it) i love my gift and hate it also its not something i would wish on anyone nor is it somthing i would give up
note you will never be a true empath if your not born one but by being intune with your own emotions you will be able to understand and to an feel the emotions of others
thanks for the advice but i'ld like to know why most people say that everyone is born empath ,only it is more developped in some people...by the way...why i want to be empathic is my business...i'm only asking for advice and encouragements...thanks kikuyo for your help....
because it is true.. I too was born an empath, was extremely hard to understand what all these emotions were and it messed with my head when growing up especially when I was a teenager.
Most youngsters are lucky nower days as there are a lot of information and help around to help them understand their gifts.
Empaths have high intuition with other poeoples emotions, we feel them, sense them and even become that emotions either it be happy or sad; it kinda makes us feel as though the emotion is ours but it isnt it is the other persons emotions.
For instance my partner when he gets angry I feel agitated and angry not understanding where this emotion has suddenly come from; its not until I speak with him and he reveals that he is angry.
I beleive it is both a curse and a gift and does take a while to understand things but once you have grasped the true understanding it becomes easier.
Like others have said (and you have not listened) you can become an empath in a way of attuning your own emotions and picking up on certain things... but those that are born with it have a higher attuned sense and feel everything..
