I am an empath.

Now if you listen to this podcast at any moment before, then you would know what this is

and you would know that, well, I talk about this a lot and I talk about myself being this

a lot.

So what is an empath in the non-scientific terms to explain it, it is somebody that can

feel someone else's emotions.

You know, when you walk in a room and you can just feel the energy when you're hanging

it with a friend and they're not telling you something, you can just, you can just feel

what they're trying to say.

You don't need the words.

You just know how someone else's energy is conveying that message and where this really

screws me over is when I let it drain me.

Now when we're in situations with other people and we are empaths and we do accept their

emotions, well, it can be a huge burden on us.

Now this, I want to get this out of the way.

This is not about being cocky, this is not about being ingotiscal or just a narcissist,

this isn't about any of that, this is just about how you interpret someone else's emotions

and how you let it take control of your own life.

And that's something that I do very, very often and it's a really hard thing to pick up

on and I find we neglected a lot.

But before we get started, my name is Joey Kidney and you are listening to the Happy

Towns podcast.
