This sounds ungrateful but…being an empath is kind of a bitch.

I’m just a walking emotional sponge.

I ask for people to confide in me. Then I get so full of emotion that I have to go hide. What a genius, eh?

I just want to fix it all. I want to make it all alright.

I relate to this so fucking hard.

Boundaries, ya’ll. Or you *will* burn out. Learn to control it, to shut it down or at least muffle it. Yeah I can come across as a cold, closed off bitch but i’m protecting my own emotional wellbeing. You have to look out for yourself otherwise how can you help anyone else? At least that’s my reasoning.

But maybe that’s also just my personality. Who knows

@belovedsangi Serious question – how do you muffle it? Like you, personally? Because I agree with you – learning to control it is the only way to survive. But oh my god, I feel like every time I try I fail miserably. And obviously, the more you practice the better you get at it…

So seriously, if you’re willing to share I would love to hear your thoughts. (I can DM you if that’s easier.) Because I respect you and your blog and what you share with us on tumblr here so much.

But no pressure if you don’t want to share! 🙂
