Empaths are used to feeling others' emotions, so being devoid of social connecion isolates us further. Whether the isolation is from social anxiety, chronic illness, recovery, etc....it affects everyone different. For an Empath, isolation is hell.
And because it's a positive trait of ours to feel others' emotions, without interaction we don't feel (even with all the angst, fear, etc emotions that surround us in public) all the extra joy that used to surround us and rush to our soul as an old friend embracing us. Joy that we had put out in this world, bounding all around us in celebration of any & everything.
How many of you have been identified by friends or family members as an Empath?
Ahhh, life with Chronic Illness & Pain... I thank God every day for the great network of family and friends who support me through this. Lupus may try to bend me; but it will never break me! Fighting my way through AutoImmune hell w/ MCTD, Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, and that rapidly evolving 'Lupus-like' Bully that is trying to ruin my life. Follow me if you dare down the weird and twisted journey of living with chronic pain...
