Subject: [K-list] Sensitive to Whom?
From: Christel aka Christabelle67

Sensitive to Whom?

I read with great interest empaths sharing about how sensitive the
are to others to the point
of 'overloading' on emotions etc... I ask here what if the
sensitivity we were picking up on was actually a reflection of ones
self, an aspect of self that has been triggered by feeling
empathetically from another?

As in having an aspect of self being brought to the surface by
another who has experienced something similar (not necessarily
exact), sensing this rekindles this within yourself, that brings
about a feeling of familiarity.

Could it possibly be that we are actually sensitive more so to
ourself, and that another person who emanates such strong feelings is
all but a reflection in the mirror of self?

Is it then possible that we feel these, so as to allow us the
opportunity to get to know self better, to solve an underlying aspect
or experience, to understand, comprehend, cleanse and even perhaps
heal?

If one were to look at this perception with an open-mind to explore
all and any avenues, could it lead to further understanding of the
SELF?

I have read much on how empaths want to stop this empathy, I ask why?
Does one want to stop this at any given moment or completely?
From my own personal research I could easily see that in all my years
(33young years at that, LOL) of trying to get 'rid' of my abilities,
that was absolutely fruitless! 'Babe, where here to stay, so get
used to it!' That is it in itself, get used to it. Oh, I tried to
run, to hide, scream it away, wish will pray, yell, have a little
hernia of fear, panic attacks and a list of phobias that were far
from a laughing manner - then! But now is different, for I have made
the conscious choice to accept it and learn what empathy has long
being tried to teach me. They say 'ignorance is bliss' CRAP (excuse
me darlings) ignorance is down right dangerous for empaths,
especially those who show strong traits of empathy.

I wanted to ignore it so much and used every effort. Well I thought I
knew everything about me, HUH, (ROFLMAO) not likely! NOW, today I
sure do know me, and me is nothing in comparison to what I once was.
I no longer fear it, no longer fret in public, nor alone, I have an
acceptance and understanding of empathy that I would like to share
here with you all as you all do *smiles*, it has helped me to grow so
much and to understand the greatest thing about empathy.

KNOWING THINE SELF is the KEY to EMPATHY.

Love to You and Yours
Christel
