10 Characteristics of an Empath

An empath is a deeply thoughtful person who is highly sensitive to the energy, emotions, and feelings of others.

An empath is like a sponge, deeply absorbing another’s emotional experience, often embodying it as if it is their own.

As a result of their heightened sensitivity, empaths are known to be very compassionate, understanding and nurturing towards all other living creatures — including animals and the natural world.
