Yes, I have briam. My wife, and an ex-employer. My wife a little easier as she is on sort of the same page as me. Not as empathic or HSP like myself. The ex-employer whoa... This guy was... there was something about him that always made me feel very uneasy, very unsettling. I swear his soul was not human. I dealt with all types of people throughout my life but this guy... shivers just thinking about him. Mind you his wife is right into witchcraft and they are practising pagans. I tried to explain my situation and I get brushed aside. Because I made connections with their extra-curricular activities, my work life became unbearable. I was pretty much forced to leave. Couldn't have been happier to go through that .|**|. to get to where I am now, working for myself from home.

Snap the same here i have to listen to what my inner self told me about my ex employers but I knew it was coming a month before it happened I just wished I was wrong but when I get certain information I have too trust

I would like to be with someone a little bit aware, or at least open but not fully. I was already with two others, and they weren't the nicest people.

I think empaths should find someone more stable-grounded to relate with,in order for balance to occur.
If you're highly sensitive,you need someone strong enough to feel safe and maybe learn the importance of having your feets on the ground.

What you need to understand, and most people do misunderstand is how empaths are sensitive. We can be sensitive in our own emotions, but our sensitivity lies in the scope that we feel other peoples emotions. Be it happy, sad, aggressive, etc. It can be draining on us if not managed properly. This is what the sensitivity means that an empath experiences.

I need to vacate our living room if there is tension in the air that doesn't involve me directly. As I take on the feelings/energies by those present in that situation.

In the past, they nearly didn't end well. I learnt how to manage my sensitivity as an empath by limiting myself to the exposure of certain experiences that can be quite toxic for me. On the other hand, being around happy people is much better but still draining on your own energies.

Having a relationship with a sensitive person can be very good,until you do the mistake to trigger his-her ego.Usually empaths and high sensitive people tend to magnify things,so a simple lectical insult,can make them go berserk,shut down,and if they decide to attack you,better start packing.That's the problem when everything gets magnified.Give them love,and you'll receive ten times what you gave.Trigger their wrath,and then search for another city to move.(lol)

Being an empath and HSP, my wife and I have been married over 23 years and two children. When we have a relationship wobbly, I will leave the room not only to cool off but to limit my exposure to the fall out of emotions that linger and have the potential to reactivate the episode. My wife and I have an understanding of this now and it is acknowledged, accepted and managed. It is when this gift is not managed or understood correctly it can have negative effects. Not just for the empath but for those around them. Generally, most empaths can be quite passive.

LOL....Fabulous, and so funny bit true !!!

And I don't actually think the initial question should be "would you want to be with an empath or non- path.." .... But rather ""would you be brave enough to be in a relationship with an Empath".....
I'm an Empath/ HSP .... And being honest ?.... Not sure sure if I could be a different person living with me.... Can be hard enough living with myself LOLOLOLOL....

I am an Empath so was my husband we got along really well. it does not matter whether you are an empath or not.
it all depends on the person.
