Characteristics of an Empath.

Alright, so I focus a lot on Socios on this website. I love my S, he fascinates me, therefore his condition fascinates me.

But maybe you Empath's want to know what others see you as. Fine.

Here is a pretty comprehensive list. I shudder at the thought of an entire world full of E's. Not because we aren't incredibly loyal and loving...but because someone has to keep us in line. That's where having an S comes in.

If you're an E, how many of these do you match up with?

• Need for praise and positive affirmation
• Difficulty leaving a bad relationship.
• Focus on good memories even when things are no longer good.
• Compassionate and forgiving towards others but not to self.
• May tend to romanticize qualities in their partner that don't actually exist
• Naturally understand the insecurities of others and do whatever necessary to encourage them.
• Interested overwhelmingly so in the needs of others.
