Being an Empath is tough in this current era where people do not value love. Being an Empath is matter of choice. It's God gifted and everyone is not lucky enough to being an Empath.
From years I had feelings that I am an Empath but i didn't know that what would be the exact world to describe it. As I was unfamiliar to word Empath. But the day I encountered the word Empath I felt myself blessed and lucky and it helped me a lot know myself and my strength.
Now who are Empaths?
Empaths have the ability to sense other's emotions, feelings and pain along with the tremendous ability to imagine about what someone is feeling, thinking and going through. They feels the pain of others like their own pain and they are aware of others people pain. They take on other people emotions as their own.They feel pain and emotions of others like their own pain. For example if one your friend had fracture in legs and he/she is not able to walk for 3 months and had chronic pain. The Empath can realize pain by imagining that as his/her friend is not able to walk the Empath can realize that miserable feeling of not able to walk and how much it becomes difficult to do daily activities. An Empath feels like they are itself not able to walk.
If someone loses his/her father. An Empath feels the trauma of that person who loses his father because en Empath can realize the grief of losing loved one.
As being an Empath isn't always easy. Apart from being emotionally available all the time for people, after providing all the love and care, an Empath experienced several struggles in their life which are follows:

Despite being available physically and emotionally for the people and apart from giving all the care and love to others. Many Empaths find it hard to understand their own feelings and emotions sometimes. As they become overwhelmed by their roller coaste ride of emotions they often think they aren't 'normal'. This leads them to excessive stress and sometimes overthinking. They engaged themselves in over estimating themselves which cause them stress and they think that they aren't normal human being.
