Now, you *may* have seen a meme circulating the internet in recent weeks concerning a certain word people like to use to identify themselves: empath.
The term — which suggests you identify with others' feelings and moods in a way most people do not — has become ridiculed online, likely because people who say they're empaths either A) are clearly not...
“I’m an empath” -the worst person you have ever met
...B) Are actually constantly misreading others' feelings (as you can never actually know what someone else is feeling and thinking)...
I’m an empath (really good at projecting my feelings onto everyone)
...C) are noticing something SUPER obvious to everyone...
me, an empath, noticing everyone at the funeral is crying and sad
...Or D) use their "empathy" for an inflated sense of superiority and self-importance.
