Empath understand people’s pain, joy, and

everything in between. They have big hearts,

and choose to spare the feelings of others

at all costs. So, with such ideal traits,

why are there so many empaths left lonely

in this world? Well, the simple answer is

that most empaths seem intimidating from the

outside looking in, but why exactly is that?

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

people can’t quite connect with empaths is because

they simply don’t understand how they can feel

things so deeply, especially when it comes to

the emotions of other people. Besides the fact

that their empathic ability can easily freak

people out, empaths carry a sense of intensity

in their energy that can sometimes be sensed by

others. This intense energy can be enough to make

people hesitate when it comes to approaching

or getting to know this deeply introspective

individual. Although most empaths probably

know this about themselves on some level,

intense energy because they have no interest

in necessarily impressing others or fitting in.

They either attract people who are willing to see

through that intensity or they happily move on.

Number 2: They can see right through dishonesty

Speaking about easily freaking people out with

their empathic abilities, empaths have a keen

sense of seeing right through BS of any sort -

which can definitely have some people questioning

how they know what they know. People can easily

feel intimidated around an empath because they’re

able to notice things about people that others are

completely oblivious to. Once someone witnesses

an empath catching someone lying or being

dishonest with no clear cut evidence, they

can begin questioning what the empath knows about

them that they don’t want them to know. Luckily,

while it may look like empaths can read minds,

most empaths use body language, change in tone,

eye movements and energy to determine if someone

is being distrustful. However, it takes a good

amount of time getting to know an empath to see

how they’re lie detector really works - something

While some people are put off by an empath's

intense energy, others can be intimidated just by

the amount of attentiveness an empath brings to

their connections and conversations. In fact,

one of the greatest abilities of the empath is the

way they can attentively listen and ask the right

questions to encourage a positive outcome to other

people’s most pressing issues in life. However,

in today’s day in age, people aren’t exactly used

to other people being ‘all ears’, fully focused

on what they’re talking about. Instead, people

are used to half-thought-out answers and only

partial attention spans, so when in a conversation

with a genuinely caring empath, people can become

suspicious. People may even start to question

if the empath has an ulterior motive behind

wanting to help, which can lead them to stop

wanting to talk to the empath all together.

that their level of empathy feels like a calling

to help all humans for the rest of their lives,

most of them know that in reality, they are

significant amount of time alone to rest,

recharge and process their emotions without

being interrupted by the absorbed energies of

others. Although people who have known an empath

for a long time would totally understand their

need for solitude, it can be a difficult point

to get across to newly established connections

and relationships. The high value empaths place on

their independence can seem to others like they’re

making excuses to distance themselves, when in

reality, they won’t be themselves without it.

In fact, independence alone can be extremely

intimidating to people who feed off the energy

of others to feel whole because naturally

they will want to spend more time together

Number 5: They speak their exact thoughts

Empaths are honest, and honesty is intimidating

for a lot of people. Highly empathetic people

never shy away from the truth because they

honor honesty as one of their core life values.

They are never afraid to face the truth, even when

it’s painful because they know that dishonesty

will never go unnoticed for long. And while

‘calling it like they see it’ may seem like

an honorary trait to have, especially when honesty

is delivered in the most empathetic way possible,

many people can see honesty as a threat in some

way. The main reason for this is because people

are so used to living life with an ‘ignorance is

bliss’ attitude that genuine honesty can become

extremely off-putting as they’ve become so used to

the comfort of deceit. Aside from the unfiltered

honesty that empaths choose to communicate with,

they may even ask people personal questions that

they are curious about, which oftentimes can make

others feel particularly vulnerable and maybe even

uncomfortable. In other words, the straightforward

and openness of a true empath can feel intrusive,

and unfamiliar - especially for someone who

an empath is particularly suspicious about.

Empaths, for the most part, know exactly what they

want and exactly what they don’t want on a grand

scale. They often have a great set of morals

and interests that give them a general idea of

where they’re headed in life, leaving the finer

details for them to work out when the time comes.

The intimidating aspect of this empath trait is

that they don’t necessarily need factual evidence

to move on from or move towards certain situations

and people. Their highly intuitive sensitivities

for their surroundings can give them unwavered

feelings towards certain aspects of their lives

regardless of how it seems from the outside

looking in. Although their empathy for others

can put a damper on their plans, empaths will

almost always follow their gut feelings that

Similar to attentiveness, kindness is one of

those things that everyone wants from others,

This is something an empath knows all too well.

While some people are able to accept random acts

of kindness with open arms, most people don’t

have that remaining trust within the world

or the people in it. Most people believe that

if someone is doing something nice for them,

they either expect something in return or they

are going to use that favour against them in the

long run. So, when an empath attempts to lend

a hand or go out of their way for someone else,

it’s no surprise when people are left wondering

“what's the catch”. Ironically, being nice

can be intimidating and questionable for some

people.. And most empaths know this first hand.

Number 8: They require a healthy level of intimacy

saying that once an empath feels safe enough to

really let down their guard and grow with someone

whether it be romantically or platonically,

they are not afraid for the other person to

The tricky thing is that most people hold their

true vulnerable shelves deep, deep within,

and are almost foreign to the feeling of really

being emotionally intimate on a deep level.

Therefore when an empath comes along and expects

the same amount of vulnerability that they’re

willing to give, people can actually become

discouraged that they’ll be able to keep up with

being so open. These deeply intimate expectations

can be enough for people to begin questioning if

this is the type of connection they want, as most

people aren’t ready for something that authentic.
