Empathy is the ability to read and understand people and be in-tune with or resonate with others, voluntarily or involuntarily of one's empath capacity.

Empaths have the ability to scan another's psyche for thoughts and feelings or for past, present, and future life occurrences. Many empaths are unaware of how this actually works, and have long accepted that they were sensitive to others.


This is the basic definition of an empath. If any feel that they may be, or just wanna ask questions, feel free to post here and i'll answer any questions I can.

Empathy is the ability to feel the emotions of others, simply, is it not? From the Greek pathos, you see. Everyone is empathetic to a greater or lesser degree. It doesn't really have anything to do with reading another's past or future, though such might be comorbid with high levels of empathy, perhaps.

As I understand it the term itself comes from a theory of art having to do with projecting one's self into the painting to understand it, or something.

True that is also another common definition. I may have written the first definition based off myself rather than a common knowledge so forgive the parts that may not have to do with anothers persepective and level of sensitivty.

Everyone has the capability to be empathic, or at least more so than they are currently. You just have to nurture that ability. Work on it so to speak. My husband has actually put effort into stifling his ability. He used to be extremely empathic, however it was causing him problems at work especially...he's in the Army...so now he has managed to nearly eliminate it.
