Why are EMPATHS often disliked and disrespected

They dislike empaths because they know we can see through their facade.

Empaths without boundaries are disrespected. Empaths with boundaries are often feared and respected.

It's easier to be alone. I get to enjoy myself all the time 🌟🕉️🆓✌️

I spent years and years trying to fit in with my husband's family. Literally being the butt of the joke, ridiculed, talked ugly about to my face and behind my back. Literally never a kind word. All the nieces and nephews were afraid of me because of what those people said about me. I finally realized that I was worth more. I had opened myself to a toxic family and now --I was done. As soon as I made that decision I felt like I was gonna fly off the planet. The sheer weight of trying to figure out what was wrong with ME left my body and my soul. Some days I still remember some of that pain but all I have to do is tell myself... IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM IT WAS NEVER MY PROBLEM. I will never ever short change myself again. I remain myself, my loving generous, understanding, kind, creative , funny, quirky self. I survived.

Interesting. People have told me I am "intimidating" I never knew why. And my kindness has only ever resulted in me being shamelessly used by people.

Unfortunately, as an empath, when you start to create boundaries, others think you are crazy!!!! They are just not used to you FINALLY STICKING UP FOR YOURSELF!

As an Empath, I am a boundary queen. I don't take crap from anyone. I actually get delicious joy out of setting boundaries.

Because we see through everything and everyone without exception.

Because we live in a narcissistic era unfortunately and the narcopaths and people like that can’t stand those of us who are kind, compassionate, empathetic etc.

Due to childhood trauma, it took 67 years before I got this. Thanks! 🥰🌷🌷🌹🌺🙏❤️🙏

“I’m kind, I’m forgiving, I’m understanding, until I’m not. And once I’m not, you had better watch out, because my ruthless actions will lead you to regretting you ever met me. Do not mess with me.” Rrrrufff! 🐕

I have been walking with 2 ladies a couple mornings a week for a couple of years now........... Lately after are walk is finished....I say goodbye....and as I get in my car ....I look over and see the 2 ladies with passionate anger on there faces .....and realize they are talking smack about me as soon as I leave..........I then decided to confront one lady over the phone about what I had seen........she doesn't respond......and I stop walking with them all together. ....a week passes and I'm getting calls from them.... like where are you ! We haven't walked together in so long ! I don't respond. ...and realize they wanted to enjoy my LIGHT on our walks......but equally wanted to talk bad about me when I was not around..... This has been an regular accurance through out my life.....

I was that child, introverted, sensitive and a bit naive until I grew up and now I bite.! I don't have many friends but it doesn't bother me at all.

Beware the day an Empath says “No”.

Because the truth hurts. That’s why.😊

We live in a world where the worst people have the most power. Being nice is a survival mechanism and sometimes the only way to get justice is to do something surreptitiously. Choose battles wisely. “Discretion is the better part of valor “.

This has been my experience. People confuse my gentleness with weakness but I’m very strong. I took an assertiveness class that really helped because I tend to put up with people until I can’t and then watch out. It’s better to stand up for yourself early and calmly.

I'm near 70, a see-er, and it's been a rough life. People have told me that I care too much. How sad for them. My parents warned what was coming. They told me always to believe what I know. They were both see-ers. People are mean to us.

We're lone wolves 🐺🐺 for very legit reasons. We're tired of being drained because people can't deal with their trauma

I never thought it was envy. I think they think we're weak because they're aggressive and value aggression in others.
