Empaths, feel other peoples emotions in more than one way, we feel with all our senses….When others download into you, as an empath, you feel their feelings as if they were your own. As they download into your their emotions,these emotions then become part of yours. It is very confusing and it is also manipulative on their part toward you.
You must embrace who you are, you must learn all you can, about yourself and your gifts, blessing and qualities. As an empath other people will often project their negativity on you. You feel it, and take it out on yourself. However, you can choose to recognise this and feel the way you want to regardless. (In other words not take it on board.)
You are the only one who can choose not to let others make you feel this way. Deny them that power over you. Most people are ignorant to how they manipulate how other people feel about themselves, so you deny the assault on your senses..
You must say this, “If that is what you believe, then you truly do not know me” You must stand up for your self. Do not worry how your words affect them, because honesty is the only truth and we have the right to live in truth.
Here is a great affirmation:
I REFUSE TO ALLOW ANY PERSON, PLACE OR THING TO TAKE MY POWER AWAY FROM ME. Even after you say it a few times, you will feel it…
