I just read the article. It is kind of mindblowing to find the correlations between the "typical" empath and yourself. From that huge list at the end, everything but maybe five points suited me. It would be interesting to know how an empath can work on themselves so that they don't turn other people's emotions into their own. I would love to work with people and study Psychology because other people's stories fascinate me, but there is that problem of sympathizing too much and making their emotions your own..
Thanks for sharing! :)
