Example

"She's an empath by nature."

"As an empath, he could sense her sadness without her saying anything."

"Empaths often need quiet time because they absorb others’ emotional energy."

Explanation

An empath is someone who deeply feels what other people are going through, as if the feelings were their own. They notice people’s emotions very easily and can strongly feel their sadness, happiness, or stress. Because of this, it can sometimes feel like too many emotions are coming at them at once. This can be hard for them, especially in busy or emotional places. Empaths often care a lot about others and are very good at understanding how someone feels, even without words.
