Am I An Empath?

You may be sympathetic, or even empathetic, but you're not an empath. Count yourself lucky! Would you really ever want to have a headache because your friend had one? Or be crippled by malaise from spending too much time with an emotional vampire? Being an empath can be hard!

You have sympathy and empathy and maybe you've felt a little something now and then, but on the whole, it's not likely that you're a true empath. By all means, remain empathetic, but it's probably not a good idea to try to develop into an empath. It's tough feeling what other people feel.

You answered enough of the questions correctly to indicate that it is somewhat likely that you are an empath. Start paying attention to how you feel when you're around other people to see if your answers to the questions might change. If it seems like they do, take the quiz again.

You are a true empath. That means you need to make sure you are taking care of yourself and not just others. Don't worry - as an empath you'll still do enough for other people! But do set aside time for yourself just to be alone and give some attention to your own wellbeing.

You're not just an empath, you're a super duper empath that feels EVERYTHING that other people feel. Be sure you're spending enough time alone to regroup and refresh. And try to spend the rest of your time around healthy, positive people!
