Empathy is certainly a great quality to have, but it does not always spell sunshine and rainbows for an empath. There are many difficulties an empath has to overcome in order to give kindness and compassion to the world.
.Since people depend on empaths for emotional support, their energies are constantly in danger of being depleted. They can handle other people’s emotions and drama which can prove to be very distressing for an empath.
The dark side of empathic people can be seen when they battle with the positive and negative forces present in the world. The good and bad both persist in their head, making it difficult for them to feel stable. They are overwhelmed by the conflict going on in their mind.
Empathic people are more susceptible to the negative energies in life. Because they feel too much, they cannot block negative energy anyhow. Their understanding and compassionate nature makes them see all the evils in the world which is very disheartening. They are confused why such negativity even exists.
