Empath Diaries

The Empath Myth: Sensitivity, Boundaries, and the Shadow

Many people believe that being an empath means feeling everything — and if you feel everything, you must help everyone.

If you feel joy, pain, suffering… then you are expected to carry it, fix it, and heal it for others.

But this belief is not compassion.

It is often ego disguised as empathy.

Because feeling everything is already a heavy experience.
