At my sister's wedding, I was denied food and told to leave unless I gave money. So, I left. 

I sometimes ignore my, what i call instinct, but one time i was in a car in the front passenger seat and passing a bridge i was admiring some lights on a factory then a thought came to me "i never been in a car accident" and i realised i didn't have my seat belt on so i pulled it on then like 5 min later my sister in law lost the control of the car on some ice and we hit a tree. We were all good but it could have been bad if i didn't have the seat belt on. So i do try to listen to that voice inside me more.

I find it odd, but satisfying that she took her sister in to live with her away from her crazy parents. I do hope the sister learns to trust her older sister an love her once again. Just sell the. Stupid condo already. Even if you take a loss, it would dramatically reduce the debt.

Have you ever learned a shield? If not may suggest looking into it.

@@odinaconley1186 Oh yes, I just did a deep purification of all my chakras, a ritual from an Ukrainian witch, also learned cutting cords, the silver cord grounding my own that is fab, the light vortex and wearing the mirrors, the banishing ritual of the pentagram, how to deal with energy vampires, I was talking when I was very young. Now I know the end of story before even begin I talk in general & current affairs. I have also always with me a moldavite.

@@snoweewhites9983 I wish you and I could find a way to chat philosophical views and religion off of this thread because I would like to ask you some questions about the Ukrainian witch and what you were taught. Not because I'm questioning what you were taught but more along the lines of broadening my knowledge. I love to learn about not only other pagan traditions but other religions or belief systems in general. I bet we would end up having some great discussions

Your child is blessed to have you as a mother. So many people are frightened and choose to deny even those who are strong empaths.

you seem to know something about that, so may I ask you a question? Sometimes when I walk in to a church with no people around, I all of a sudden feel very sad. I recently had it in a cathedral where I lit a candle near a statue to ask for health improvements and protection for some family members and this heavy sadness fell all over me. I swiftly moved on to where the Maria statue was and people were praying there. I also repeated my prayer and almost started crying by the overwhelming feeling of grief, possible from the people present. So what is that called?

​@@secret3957 You too have a natural deep empathy. Many times in a church or other religious place people attend who are deep in grief or there may have been a recent funeral where the whole place was enveloped in sadness. I think this is a stronger feeling than than the empathy most people experience so you are probably a natural empath. I am autistic (what used to be called Asperger's) and the woman in this story reminded me of my life. I have always been the odd one. It is kind of sad that people think those who are autistic lack empathy when it's usually the opposite. Sometimes it is too strong. Crowds are very hard when you feel all the different emotions of those around you pressing in as well as the lights and noise. I started my own business dog grooming so that I spend most of my workday with dogs. They have evolved to read people very well and I can be with them with ease. I only have one at a time, by appointment, so I can make it calm and wonderful instead of stressful for them. Animals are easier for me than people. People sometimes try to cloak their inner selves, while animals are true. I think if you open yourself to your feelings more fully you with find your empathy guiding you in other situations where the feelings aren't as strong. You were overwhelmed in the cathedral and that is difficult to manage.

@@autodogdact3313 Thank you so much for your answer. ❤ I assumed that I was picking up residual energy in empty churches, but I was blown away by the energy I felt when praying to the statues. I also have felt 2 people's panic attacks (before I even saw those people), which was very bizarre. I am a teacher and have affinity with children that have no confidence in themselves. I am married to someone that probably has autism (very intelligent, but in my experience he misses the empathy). Our daughter has both the highly intelligent side from him and the sensitive side from me and she seems to attract animals. She wants to become a plant scientist, but if that does not work out, I think she would be very good in a job with animals!! I am discovering that I come from a family with "gifts" or sensibilities, so the story rings a bell where it comes to trying to fit in with people that are completely different than myself. Where as I always felt less than, I am now starting to feel that I should discover the real me and find out about my sensibilities and use them to help people and animals. Wouldn't it be great if there was a manual lol.

@@secret3957 That is so wonderful that you can understand and help students who lack self- confidence! I got great grades in school, but hid in the background. I wish I had a teacher like you. Your daughter sounds wonderful, btw.

@@autodogdact3313 ❤Thank you and thank you :) I once had a new pupil in my class who immediately went and sat underneath her desk as she could not handle all the attention she got from being new in our class. All the children immediately wanted to help her but I told them to stay in their seats, but thanked them for their kindness. My classroom assistant went to her to try and persuade her to sit at her desk but I stopped her and told her that as soon as the child felt safe again, she would emerge and sit on her chair and that she would be allowed to get all she needed and work underneath her table. I think the assistant thought I was crazy. Within 5 minutes the new child was sitting at her desk and tried her best at the assignment given to the class. The classroom assistant was bowled over, she told me later, as her instinct had been to go and make the child feel welcome. I felt she just needed space and a bit of time. After that she blended right in with the rest of the kids. Nobody teaches you this.

I hope you realise that you were never the one with the problem. People who put others down and belittle others are the ones that feel inadequate about themselves deep down. My guess is that he was jealous of you. What a shame you did not bump in to someone that made you see you are a special person that deserves love. I also think you are underestimating yourself because I do think you know negativity when you see it and you are staying away from it.

@@secret3957 I hope that many people are encouraged by your positive message. You are telling the TRUTH. I’ve heard it said that people who are hurting on the inside, hurt people on the outside. Please keep sending out your messages of encouragement: the world needs it.

I too am a social hermit and mainly a loner. I turn 65 tomorrow. You know deep down that you are a good, decent, worthy person. You have to embrace the truth rather than believe the lie. People who prey on others to raise themselves usually feel worthless inside and are trying to fill the void. I wish for you a wonderful life and a renewed sense of self- worth. Face it, you deserve it.

Do you know of Stuart Wilde? He used to say: "What you think about me is none of my business " Search his old videos on RU-vid, he changed my life, as the first video Stuart Wilde Superself seminar he is great

@@autodogdact3313 well spoken, and happy birthday for tomorrow. Make it a good one ❤

Exactly. Let her face the consequences of her choices.

Because she is a good person. What you do to others is a reflection of who you are and not who they are.

I had a friend who could do like Lily and she would tell people things no one else knew about them. They would start to avoid her, not because they didn't understand but because everyone has secrets they don't want anyone else to know. So they were scared " if she knows these things about me what other secrets does she know?"

Because she has such a strong sense of empathy. It is hard to deny those who are suffering even if they have been unkind.

Children mimic their parents

When a parent reads to their child and communicates with them. Their vocabulary changes

I agree. I can usually tell if a person can be trusted or not in just a few minutes of conversation. I'm not psychic or anything, I just get this uneasy feeling like I don't want anything to do with this person. My wife has learned to trust my instincts, but still doubts me with some people.

I think they were scared of her strangeness, but there is no excuse for treating her badly and cosseting her sister.

Because she is such a strong empath. It is difficult to deny those in need even if they have been unkind before.

She should have told her sister to move back in with the parents.

Maybe she foresaw something bad happening to herself if she did not take her sister in?

This is n ot a Broadway Play!

This is someone's experience not a fanfiction.

@@Cees91 Plus it's free!

It’s known as being an “empath” and you’re born with it. I know. I’ve been a very strong one with clear memories starting at age 5. I tell very few people about it. Although there are no IQ tests for us, I estimate mine at around 160. People don’t celebrate our successes like Bill Gates. So running under the radar works best for me.

@@laurenrose2895 I know what an impact is and that is the reason I made the suggestion to learn to shield.... And I can understand not discussing whether or not I am an empath for the same reasons that you said you don't normally tell a lot of people. I think that people who have those kind of abilities not only a safer when they lay low because the general population really just doesn't like anything they don't understand but also should learn how to shield in cases of intense emotions around them. For most people in general dealing with their own emotions is hard enough let alone having to deal with those of people around them.

At one time, women like Lily were at risk of being burned alive for witchcraft. Priests would have hated them.

If I took the sister in, she'd have to pay me rent by becoming my skivvy. She would get everything back that she was given.

36:00 "I took in my sister" OP may be an empath but is a pushover/ doormat/ jelly fish where her "famileeee" is concerned. I expect an update where the parents also join her! All OP had to do was pay $ x every month for 6m? 12m? and let the crxxpy parents and clueless sister stay together in some cheap aptt. Then stop the dole once she was convinced they could cope!
