Is being an empath a personality dysfunction? Let's talk. Let's sort this
out right here now. I get asked the question if empaths or the ability to be
an empath is a personality disorder. And that's really a good question because
it's not normal, right? It's not normal to be able to have this ability to connect
to people. And you know could it be that this is the disorder and all of us
common people are the normal? So, let's just talk about this. Empahts have the
ability to connect way further than the common person. Way, way, way further than
the common person. And you and I both know if something is different or odd,
you know, let me just back up and say, in high school. I was the guy in high school,
small high school, grew up in a small high school. I was the guy who traveled
to another state to do my clothes shopping for high school, right? You know,
it's just a funny thing but. I come to school and and I'm wearing these
different kind of clothes. And I would get called the freak in the hallway. I
would get teased by the other kids. Because I wasn't wearing the same
clothes that everybody bought in the same town. I was the different kid.
I did get voted as Best Dressed. But it was so funny because they
literally mocked me and teased me. Because I was the different one. And
that's just how we do this as people. When something's different,
we tend to make it look like there's something wrong with it. So, is being an
empath a personality disorder? Well, NO! I don't think it's a personality
disorder because really, an empath really has a high awareness. This is beyond what
you could do. You know... And let me ask you a question, don't you wish you
had the ability to connect to your kids, your spouse, your loved ones at a deeper
level? Don't you wish that you had high awareness of yourself and what's going
on around you? So, before you call this a personality
disorder, notice that what an empath can do is something you keep wishing for.
Something you keep wishing for. The other thing to consider, you know, if you're
wondering if it's a disorder is an empath can literally connect the dots.
You know there's this and this and this. And this and we're a normal person can't
see how those dots go together. An empath in one moment can go, "Oh, I see the
connection. I see how they relate." So really, if you're going to call this a
dysfunction in a personality, maybe this is something else you want. You want the
ability to connect the dots. So, I think maybe what you want to do is instead of
mocking and teasing somebody who has some levels of empath abilities and
instead of thinking it's a disorder, maybe it's time that you go, "Well, maybe I
want to do this too. Maybe I want to make this happen." Now, the the last one here I
want to share that I don't think this is a disorder. They have the above the
common abilities. You know, they're somebody who literally is more connected
than we are. I met a very high level empath and oh my goodness, they knew me
instantly. As soon as they walked up to me they go, "Hey, Kirk. Hey, did you know
blah, blah." And she's talking about me. And it's like, "Oh, my word. How did you just
figure all this out?" Now, I understand empahts. I have mentored coached and
trained them for years and years and years on how to improve their skills, how
to get organized with their skills so they don't feel like they're a weirdo
and they can actually benefit and help other people benefit from their gift and
talent. When she walked up though that's kind of... You know, playing and teasing
with her going, "Okay, you're an empath, aren't you?" And she goes, "Yeah, how could
you tell?" It's like, "Oh, I'm a level of an empath." But not as high as she is.
Because she was crazy ridiculous cool. But something that both of us got into a
conversation about is that normal people think and they believe that their
thoughts actually stay inside their head. And normal people think that their
emotions that they feel inside stay inside their skin. And this woman and I
were talking about having empath abilities. And and we just kind of
giggled because it's like people don't understand that your thoughts don't get
stopped by your skull. Your thoughts leave your skull, fill up the room, go out
the walls of your house down the street across the valley over the mounds and
they keep going. Your emotions leave your body, fill up the room go outside the
walls of your house, go around your yard, go rolling down the street. So common
people still believe that their thoughts and emotions stay inside their skin and
they can think and they can feel whatever they want. Because they think
they're getting away with it. They really think they can get away with whatever
thought they're thinking, whatever feeling they're feeling. Like nobody's
going to know. I think we're the reason why people actually poke fun at empaths is
they want empaths to go away. Because impasse are proving that we can pick up
on thoughts and feelings from people. Because they're on the outside of their
skin. And I think the reason why people are saying that empaths is a personality
disorder is so that they can make it bad. And that those people are wrong. What I
love about empaths is that they're proving... They are proving we as people
must learn how to control our thoughts. We as people need to learn how to
control and manage our emotions. Because they are not private and they're not
secret. Your thoughts and your emotions are not private and they're not secret.
And as long as you think they're private as long as you think they're secret then
you don't have to change. You can just live a life of a mess on the inside and
nobody's going to know. There are more empaths
in the world today than ever before. And these impacts are here to help us
manage ourselves. Help you manage who you are. By helping you recognize the messes
and problems you caused in your life through letting random thoughts and
random emotions just run through your house and ramp it through your house and
you don't think it matters. But every thought and every emotion literally
influences people and how they're going to treat you. Every thought and emotion you
have influences your income. Every thought and emotion you have influences
how life comes back at you. Doesn't control, it influences your thoughts and
emotions not only fill up today. But there are already rolling into tomorrow.
It's already projecting into next week, next month. And you're already putting
things in place based upon the way you think and feel. And what I love about
empaths is that they can come into your life and literally help you recognize
you need to clean up your thoughts and emotions. I don't... Empaths... Tthe ability
to be an empath is not a personality disorder. It's a higher way of living.
It's a higher way of being connected to the people you care about. What if we
were all empaths? What if everybody was an empath? You know what happen? Our
society and the people we live amongst, would live a higher law. They would live
a higher way because we would all be careful about our thoughts and feelings.
And we treat each other so much more nice. Would be so much better to each
other because we understand the relationship between thoughts feelings
and life. You're going to start to hear more of this. It's not something is
going to go away. And if you are an empath, I hope
you manage this skill and ability in a good way. I hope you manage this in a way
that shows respect and honor for people around you and that you use it for good.
Because you could use it for bad and you know where bad people go? You know where
they go at when they die? You don't want to go down there? You want to go up there.
You don't want to go down there. So if you do have these tendencies in these
skills and abilities, use them to help people. Because it really can help kids
and parents and families and business owners really can help a lot. A lot. But
yeah. No, no. No, no. It's not a personality disorder. It's a higher way of living and
just so you know, you have the ability to wake up that side of you. It's a gift. It
is a gift and it has to do with helping and serving people. And if you've ever
sensed like you can be... You know, connected or in tune to people at better
levels than the common person, maybe you start to talk about this that it's good.
And help people because we all know the human race needs help. I can help you
learn how to take this gift and talent that you have to be able to help people.
You know every gift and talent we have as individuals is to serve others. I have
