Intuitive ‘Emapths’ Everywhere Are Suffering Right Now
I offer 8 Self-Care Tactics That Are Needed Now More Than Ever
Intuition and empathy are wonderful tools to use in our everyday lives. They can alert us to what is real because we ‘feel’ the truth. People can lie all they want, but we know when they are lying. We may or may not be able to intuit what the real truth is, but we know a lie when we hear it so we know not to trust what is being said.
Empathy is a survival tool in abusive situations. We can feel when we are in danger, so we know when to shut up and when to get out. Unfortunately, abusers have an innate ability to attract empaths. We have what they don’t have and if anyone is going to care for them, it’s going to be one of us. We also have a hard time leaving them because we can feel their pain and self-hate and we want to help them.
Narcissists and sociopaths don’t have empathy. They can’t feel other people’s feelings, only their own. Not only do they not feel, they just don’t care because their feelings are the only important thing to them.
The president of the United States is a classic abusive narcissist. This is causing a rift in our country, unlike anything we’ve ever faced before.
Most people are seeing the rift as divisiveness between political parties or ideologies.
