What is an Empath?

We have covered this topic before.  An empath is someone who feels the emotions of others.  An empath-telepath is someone who can hear the thought sand feel the emotions of others.  The term “psychic” is a catchall term to describe multiple kinds of extrasensory perception talents.  Empaths are very common, but having empathy is different from clairempathy, which is literally feeling the other person’s feelings in your head, body, and mind.  Empaths need psychic shields because a shield protects them from other people’s emotions.  You cannot absorb everything, because then you become very depressed and wind up in the psych ward where you will continue to feel everything until you decide to quit taking on the pain of the world.
