I am married to one of those sensitive people. My husband is the kindness person I know and is always trying to build up others and not tear them down. He senses others hurt way before I do. It is a strength, not a weakness. I am a blessed women.

Thank you for this! I most certainly have identified as an empath and for too long, saw this as a weakness. I’m learning to channel my empathetic nature for God’s glory to help others come to Christ!

I really appreciate this post – love and blessings! x

I am 100% empath and lately I am 200% overwhelmed. Thank you for reminding me that there is nothing “wrong” with me and that there is strength in my percieved weakness

I appreciate flipping the view about empaths. Of course everyone is special and can bring something to society.

The days of wearing my heart on my sleeves are long gone. With time, of course, it gets a lot easier to not take things personally. Everyone is doing the best they can for themselves and their family and it makes them do things in emotion sometimes.

30 years in business helps too!

In reply to Barbara Harper. I can go both ways, too. I often recognize when I'm being too sensitive but other times I'm probably not sensitive enough. As with many things, it's not easy to find that exact balance and live in the sweet spot.

In reply to Yvonne Chase. What a gift to have a such a sensitive soul, Yvonne. It's also a gift to recognize when you've done what you can and walk away. Without it, we often get ourselves in trouble in our relationships.

In reply to Pam Ecrement. Having those clear boundaries is such a key to me, but not always easy to do. Thanks for sharing your insights, Pam! I always value your thoughts.

In reply to Stacey Pardoe. Yes, may God help us discover how to use empathy as a strength and not a weakness. Thanks, Stacey.

In reply to Bev @ Walking Well With God. Sounds like the list hit home with you, Bev. I hope you're able to take time often to care for yourself in the midst of caring about others!

In reply to Debbie Wilson. Yes, we have to find that balance. It's a hard line to walk sometimes. I can fall off on either side of it. :)
