Why is everyone an empath?
Over the past while now, this is something that keeps coming up in all my social media feeds. And it's usually someone re-posting some quote or meme about being an empath & virtue-signalling "This is sooo Me!".
And the quotes will include statements like "empaths hate loud noises". I got news for you, everyone hates loud noises.
You'll also see "gets overwhelmed in crowds". Yeah well so will many on the autistic spectrum or anyone with frequent hangovers. Then you'll get theses bizarre ones like "Frequently attract narcissists". I got news for you, your poor relationship choices are hardly a good advertisement for empathy. Or "Can act extroverted or introverted depending on who they are around". More news for you, con-men and psychopaths do that on the daily to give their victims the illusion of trust. And finally, "Struggle with feeling like they need to heal everyone even if the person isn't ready". So you're a control freak to boot.
But because the word "empath" is in there people jump on it as some moral high ground they can assign themselves to replace explain their craziness. They don't even think about what they're actually saying.
