Sensing other people's energy

[Lucid68]

I can always distinguish my emotions too .....

Thanks Lucid68. I now understand that it isn't a defining characteristic that an empath cannot distinguish between their emotions and another - rather that this may be the case for some.

If I have understood it right, being a HSP (highly sensitive person) is the same thing as being an empath?

I use to have a tough time distinguishing between myself and others, it took awhile to learn the difference. These days I have no troubles.

I am an empath as well and for the longest time thought everyone felt this way. lol

I used to have a bit of trouble figuring out others' emotions from my own but now I am pretty good at it.

It tends to run in my family, my dad is an empath and now my twin and I are both empaths.

Here are my results from the empathy test


You scored extremely high on the overall results. You are definitely an empath.

You are highly intuitive and can almost always tell when people are lying. You may want to look into getting energy work and healing done on your second chakra. Usually people that need to be around water all the time have blocks in their second chakras. You love nature and unconsciously understand its healing effects -- which is a general, but strong indicator that you are an empath. You have a deep love and appreciation for nature. You recognize the sacred expression of all beings. You are truly wise. But you have a wonderful ability to sway and change the moods, energies, atmospheres, and environments around you.

You need to learn how to recognize and differentiate other people's energy from yours. Learning psychic/empathic meditation tools will help. You scored the worst on the "Mirroring Others Unconsciously" portion of the quiz. It looks like you have a tendency to mirror other people and their energy. This means that you give up your energetic seniority at the whim of the world's changing winds (in other words: other people are able to control or influence you too much on an energy level). You would benefit from learning to control your crown chakra and probably cord removal or healing work.

Sorry, but you scored the lowest on the "Has Protection Tools" section of the quiz. This indicates that you are definitely an out of control healer and you would benefit immensely from energy work, cord-removal, and protection tools. You are a wonderful and loving person. You are also what is known as an "out of control healer!" You would benefit immensely from energy work and empathic tools for releasing guilt and responsibility.
