Have you ever been described as empathetic, that is, you have the ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes and feel their emotions? It's like people with hyper-empathy have long antennas that latch onto every emotion vibrating around them. But when you feel too much, you might end up losing yourself in other people's needs. There’s a difference between being really sensitive and having a hyper-empathy syndrome. Here are three signs that may make you hyper-empathic: 1. You erase yourself for the benefit of others. 2. You want to solve all the problems. 3. You have a permanent need to be useful and necessary. In case of excessive empathy, call on a professional who will teach you how to limit your empathy to make it a real quality! Don't forget that excessive empathy doesn't just make you upset, but it separates you from the rest of the world.
