Are You In Love With An Empath? – Here Are 4 Important Things You Need To Know

SHARE

Having an empath as a friend is great, but loving one is even better. Empaths are honest, compassionate, generous, and loving. They enjoy saving, helping, and making other people happy.

They may need time to open up and talk about their feelings, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re able to create deep, meaningful connections with others and that they love selflessly, intensely, and unconditionally.

The way they love and behave in relationships can often be confusing for someone who is not an empath. Because while they love profoundly and crave emotional intimacy and closeness, they also often feel the need to spend some time on their own.

And the fact that they’re able to sense things that no one else can feel can often make them feel emotional, upset, or even anxious.

But, don’t worry, the following 4 things will help you understand their nature and how to love these amazing, unique beings:

1. They feel everything too intensely and deeply.

Empaths possess this unique gift to feel things too deeply, and sometimes to the point where they can’t tell why they’re feeling the way they are.

Empaths can pick up on your emotions, energy, and state of mind, but they don’t always know how to express what they’re experiencing.

Therefore, it’s important for you to know that sometimes it’ll be hard for you to understand the reasons behind their behavior. 

For example, sometimes they’ll behave illogically. Sometimes they’ll get upset, scared, and even panic out. Sometimes they’ll get too emotional or upset when watching a sad movie or a violent scene on the TV. And sometimes they’ll need you to hold their hand, comfort them, and tell them that everything will be okay.

2. They crave honest, meaningful, and truthful relationships.

When you’re in a relationship with someone who is an empath, you need to always be honest. Because there’s no lie or manipulation tactic that can escape them.

Empaths can sense your feelings and state of mind even before you open your mouth. They’re masters at reading body language too. So, if they notice that you’re not truthful or that you have bad intentions, they’ll be quick to call you out on it, and even disappear from your life.

An empath would rather be alone than in a relationship with a lying, manipulative, dishonest person.

3. They know how it feels to have your heart broken many times.

Yes, that’s the price they pay for feeling things deeply and wearing their heart on their sleeve. Due to their pure soul and sensitive, compassionate nature, they can’t resist helping others when they see someone is struggling with problems or going through pain.

And this is the reason why they often end up with their hearts and hopes shattered. However, they also know how to gather strength to rise from the ashes, shake their pain, and move on.

 4. They’re passionate and they love intensely.

Love is their driving force. Love is the food their soul and body need to endure life’s pains. Love is the lenses through which they see the world. And sometimes this  affects them emotionally and causes them to feel like they’re on an emotional roller coaster.

That’s why they need to be with someone who will be able to understand their intense, passionate nature. Someone who will be able to understand their frequent mood swings and vulnerabilities. Someone who will be able to love them as deeply and unconditionally as they love.
