11 Signs You Are a Psychic Empath

#1: You Have a Strong Sixth Sense

Are your instincts always on point? Do you find too many coincidences about what you are thinking about or what is happening?  Can you sense when something unpleasant is about to happen? Does a sudden change of weather put you down? All these are signs of an intuitive psychic empath.

These psychic empaths can sense what the future has in store for their loved ones and their surroundings. They get this insight through dreams and premonitions. However, you must determine whether this information will benefit the other person before sharing it with them.

#2: Extremely Sensitive

Were you always the sensitive one in your family or circle of friends for as long as you can remember? Alternatively, are you the peacemaker in your home? Psychic empaths will often prefer calmness over any uneasy situations. Because of this, they often get requests to mediate between people who are angry at each other.

If you are a psychic empath, your friends and colleagues find it easy to approach you when they are going through an emotional challenge in their lives.

#3: Can’t Stand Negativity

Do you get migraines when people around you are shouting at each other? Are you a people pleaser? Does the thought of rejection by a close person make you nervous? The negative energy around them disturbs a psychic empath.

Besides, some even develop physical symptoms such as migraines, stomach upsets, and shivering at the thought of the negativity around them. They, therefore, tend to give in to suggestions just to make peace, even though these suggestions could cost them individually.

#4: Can’t Stand Crowds

When psychic empaths attend a sports event, for example, they always check their watches until the game ends. If the thought of going to the shopping mall or concert overwhelms you, you could be a psychic empath.

You mostly feel suffocated when you are in such places. Instead, you prefer watching a game in the comfort of your living room.

#5: You Can’t Stand Physical Pain

Do you fear shots? Psychic empath tends to feel pain more than an average person would. The thought of someone else in the hospital or with an injury is enough to make them sick. If your doctor gets surprised at how bad you deal with a rather painless medical procedure, you could be a psychic empath.

On another note, a psychic empath tends to have strong side effects to medication. You may find for example, that when you drink coffee in the evening, you end up staying awake all night. Or, if a drug’s side effect is drowsiness, you tend to be drowsy for longer than expected. 

#6: You Fear Negative News

One of the signs of a psychic empath is the constant attraction to those who are suffering but at the same time fearing the sight of negative scenes. Therefore, psychic empaths have a constant personal battle. On one hand, they feel compelled to help those in need.  But, at the same time, they are disturbed by images of past tragic events.

#7: You Can Tell If Someone Is Sincere

Do you have a close friend or relative who will always pick out the truths from the lies and you wonder how they did it? It is almost impossible to lie to a psychic empath. Just by looking at you and listening to your tone of voice, a psychic empath can tell whether you are sincere or not.

#8: Everyone Dumps Their Problems on You

Psychic empaths are like emotional sponges. They take up most of the energies around them, whether positive or negative. In turn, other people find psychic empaths to be welcoming. They find it soothing sharing their lifestyle challenges and failures with them.

In response, an empath will never say no to such persons. They tend to take people’s worries and anxieties. Eventually, they also suffer.

#9: You Get Tired Easily

Have you ever woken up in the morning feeling tired? Do other people call you lazy yet you know you are not lazy? As you absorb negative energy and have your positive aura drained from you, your subconscious mind works tirelessly to process all this.

If you find yourself worn out for no apparent reason, you need to take some time off, away from the surrounding that drains you. Visit a quiet, peaceful place to re-energize yourself.

#10: You Have a Passion for Creative Arts

Do you find yourself writing fiction, enjoying fine arts, or any other creative hobbies? A psychic empath is rich with a wealth of inner self. In turn, they tend to pour out this creativity using creative hobbies as outlets.

You may find yourself more inclined to spend time at natural parks or have many pets. All these are your avenues of expressing the intense emotions you have inside of you.

#11: Poor in Multi-Tasking

If you find that you can only handle one or two tasks at a time, you could be a psychic empath. Psychic empaths tend to get overwhelmed by the demands of many duties. They experience an emotional imbalance that manifests in the form of mood swings or tantrums.
