As an empath, you are able to project your emotions onto another person in order to influence or change their current emotional stature. With me, I have to be within a certain radius of the person and interacting with them either physically or vocally. Then I find myself projecting onto them a more positive emotion.
As an empath, you are also able to take one's emotion(s) from them. For this, I have to have physical contact. Once contact is made, I can draw out this negative emotion and release it back into the universe. Yet, I have found that when this is done, you have to replace this taken emotion with a positive emotion or their negativity comes back worse than before.
So, my questions to you is, "How do you project?" "How do you draw out emotions?" and "Is it worth the energy drain to make another feel better?". I appreciate you replies.
lol...wow. This brings back memories. Yes I have experienced this, but only once in my life. Eleven years ago, I met my late wife at the local mall where she worked. When I first saw her, I felt a severe drawing towards her. I had to meet her. When we walked outside on her break to talk, I just knew she and I were going to be married and spend the rest of our lives together. I felt so in love with her and I knew nothing about her, yet somehow I knew everything. We had a love many people only dreamed about having.
I have 3 I use all the time. "Jackass", "It happens", and "Accept it, Embrace it, and Let it go".
Up until recently, I spent the last 9 years as a maintenance man for a low income housing company. It was a very bad situation for an empath. I spent most of my mornings in a clearing in the nearby woods to prepare for the day. Now, I own a small photography business. I'm in control of my surroundings now. There are still some touchy times, but nothing I can't redirect.
Kaitlyn has some really good advise. The good thing about empaths is that we operate on motion. Hold positive emotions and let go of the negative. Use filters instead of shields to help you let positive emotion in and filter out the negative that comes your way. Its gonna be hard at first. Think of a time that made you the happiest. Feel that memory and the emotion of happiness that was present. Now hold that feeling. That'll give you a foundation to rebuild on. Sociopaths and narcissists usually drain ones energy like a vampire. These you should shield yourself from at the first sign that they are draining your energy. Hope this helps a bit.
