6 Downsides Of Being A Super Empath (That Nobody Talks About)

6 Downsides Of Being A Super Empath (That Nobody Talks About) explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



While having the ability to feel the emotions

of others can be a helpful tool in life, sometimes

being a super empath (or any empath for that

matter), can come with it’s difficulties.

Not only can this 6th sense become extremely

exhausting and taxing on an empath's social

battery, but it can also affect their lives

in many other negative ways, all in which

Today we’ll be talking about the downsides

of being a super empath that no one talks

Alright, jumping right into the video, starting

Number 1: You feel like you’re always putting

Since super-empaths have deep intuitive knowledge

and understanding of how others are feeling

at all times, they can easily change the way

they act in order to fit in with the general

In fact, not only are super-empaths able to

do this, but they actually have an automatic

tendency to put on an act in order to make

others feel happy and comfortable in their

For example, a high-energy group may cause

a super-empath to become the clown to get

a rise out of everyone, while in a more mellow

group, the super-empath can become slow-moving

While the act of absorbing the emotions of

others can easily serve as one of an empath's

greatest strengths as it allows them to create

deep connections with others by relating to

them on their level, it can also be considered

This is because, when you spend your days

fluctuating moods and personalities according

to those around you, you can seemingly forget

who you are when you’re no longer influenced

This can make it especially difficult for

these empaths to fully distinguish their emotional

opinions on matters compared to that of others.

Plus, it can also make others question the

genuinity of the super-empath’s true personality

as close friends and family may pick up on

the fluctuating personality depending on who’s

Number 2: You feel called to help every single

This is when empaths of all kinds begin to

question whether high-empathic abilities are

While it’s extremely rewarding for a super-empath

to be able to really help someone out of a

In fact, it’s not the act of helping that’s

difficult, it’s knowing when to stop putting

your energy into the same situation, and knowing

when to stop taking on new problems that need

Empaths of all kinds have an intuitive push

to not only feel out when others need a helping

hand or a listening ear, but to immediately

jump into action to wipe people’s worries

Family, friends, and even strangers on the

street, an empath would never hesitate to

However, there comes a time when helping becomes

less rewarding and more taxing on the energy

This is why setting boundaries around empathic

abilities is so incredibly important for the

mental health and well-being of these intuitive

Super-empaths need to know that they aren’t

being called to solve the world’s problems.

Number 3: You only want to see the good in

If you’re a super empath yourself, you’ll

know that you can be blindsided by the negative

Because super-empaths are so understanding

of people’s behaviors, they can easily see

the reasoning behind the negative aspects

While this allows them to effectively help

and understand others who need it the most,

it can also attract people who take advantage

of the empathetic nature of the super empath.

For example, the forgiving nature of a super

empath can call for narcissists friendships

and relationships because empaths can be easily

Since narcissists are so reliant on people

who can easily be persuaded and forgiving,

an empath tends to be their perfect prey.

This somewhat biased nature can also make

super-empaths seem like they are in some ways

playing the devil’s advocate, by sticking

up for people who have done wrong in the past.

While empaths are never trying to stir the

pot, they do want to make it clear to other

people that poor choices don't always make

But on the flipside, super empaths need to

understand that not everyone has their best

intentions in mind, and sometimes poor choices

are a great reason to distance themselves

Number 4: You can become easily distracted

While most empaths love to connect with others,

it can be especially difficult to stay grounded

and attentive when in large social settings.

Because super-empaths are intuitively in constant

analyzing mode, they tend to get distracted

by picking up on the body language, conversations,

and energies of other people around them.

Although most empaths are great communicators

in smaller groups and 1-on-1 settings, too

many energies in one place can be especially

difficult for a super-empath to navigate through.

For example, they can easily become distracted

in their conversations because they see someone

sitting by themselves, or because they can

see the heated tension between the arguing

In fact, a perfect place for a super-empath

at a large social gathering would be on the

This is because large groups are not only

distracting, but too much socializing for

a super-empath can quickly drain their social

Although some experienced intuitives are able

to set the proper boundaries around their

empathetic gifts, most empaths and super-empaths

have their empathetic gifts on autopilot.

This means even if an empath is overburdened

with obligations, they have no means of saying

no to new opportunities that require their

They can be running late for picking up their

children from school and still make the time

to help the old lady cross the road, because

This lack of empathetic control can also cause

super empaths to know things they others wouldn’t

For example, a super-empath may call their

friend out on being noticeably annoyed and

unhappy in a romantic relationship before

their friend was willing or able to see it

And since emotions are a touchy subject for

some people, being called out on your feelings

before you fully understand them can make

people feel extremely vulnerable and uncomfortable,

even if the empath sees the situation as blatantly

So, in other words, for a super-empath to

not fully understand how to use their empathic

abilities to their advantage, is similar to

being a slave to their gifts rather than the

Number 6: You may feel the physical symptoms

Many super empaths are also what is known

Some super empaths not only pick up on and

absorb the emotions of others, but they also

can feel the physical pains of the people

For example, if a super empath spent the day

with a coworker who was complaining about

a migraine, they can be sure that they will

feel some pressure in their head as well.

Some super empaths can actually feel a physical

symptom when watching a movie or listening

to a story where someone is injured or sick.

This is why it’s advised for super-empaths

to avoid watching violent news, and gory films

While it can definitely be annoying to unwillingly

symptoms of others that affect this rare empath.

In fact, they can feel positive physical emotions

like the feeling of euphoria when spending

time with a new honey-moon phased couple or

the energizing feeling of having a motivated

It’s when a super-empath can use these gifts

to their advantage that they can truly find
