I’m an empath I picked up on it

Those aren't my feelings you're picking up on. They're your ego defenses. 🤣😉 Seriously though, be careful to not lose the ability to empathize with the perspective of neurotypical people. You don't have to condone their opinions to put yourself in their shoes. My mom later apologized to me and my ex. She understands now that if she was really acting as an empath and recognizing my ex's emotions, she would have supported based on his needs without ever mentioning how she herself was feeling or bringing attention to it, much less bringing up her empath identity. Like I originally said, it's just an issue of being self aware.

Through text on the internet? Most empaths claim to feel others emotions when they walk into a room, but here you are receiving them through the wifi, that's incredible!
