Download Article
Have you ever felt someone else’s pain physically? Can you sense when something isn’t right? Or, do you feel extremely overwhelmed in public places? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a super empath! Super empaths possess unique qualities that separate them from other types of empaths. In this article, we’ll go over all the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of a super empath (plus, why you might attract narcissistic personalities).
Things You Should Know
- Super empaths are highly sensitive and intuitive; they physically feel others’ emotions and are hyper-aware of their surroundings.
- Super empaths prefer solitude to recharge, and they often engage in creative activities.
- To manage being a super empath, maintain a self-care routine and set healthy boundaries with loved ones.
- Narcissists are often attracted to super empaths because they want to feel important and desired (and super empaths make others feel that way!).
