In spite of what you’ve been told your entire life, I promise you it’s not because there’s something wrong with you. Quite the opposite, actually. There is so much that is so very right with you, and it’s time you start seeing it that way. Because when empaths finally realize the truth about themselves and get in touch with the truth of who we are, we can go out into the world with a little more elegance and a little more grace and poise, expressing ourselves in a way where we can stand in our truth authentically and unapologetically, allowing other soul-aligned humans to enter our lives while exercising wise discernment and choosing to love those who aren’t so aligned from a distance.
And in doing so, we learn how to honor ourselves, trust ourselves, and how to not dim our light and shrink in an attempt to make others feel more comfortable. You know all the ways we tend to sell our soul in an effort to appease unhappy and insecure people. Once empowered, we don’t do that anymore. So it’s vitally important for us to learn to be true to our authentic selves, no matter who is uncomfortable or who does not like it. We want to be true to who we are at our core and honor our divine essence.
Now, with all of that said, let’s dive into 10 reasons why most people can’t handle you if you’re an empath.
Number one: You stand for the truth. That’s right! Empaths value honesty and integrity. And when empowered, we fully stand for the truth, no matter how inconvenient, uncomfortable, or unpopular. If you’re a full-blown empath, you are honest, perhaps even to a fault, and that can make a lot of people really uncomfortable.
Now, there is a shadow side to this. Many empaths who have yet to do their personal healing and recovery work and therefore still struggle with untreated codependency have yet to develop the habit of protecting their own privacy. Our natural tendency is to go through life like an open book, which is fine when you’re surrounded by well-intentioned, decent, kind, and genuinely loving people who actually care about your best interests and have integrity. But sadly, that’s not most people. So empaths often have to learn how to set healthy limits and boundaries and how to respect their own privacy.
Moreover, if you’re an empath and you’re not living in alignment with your truth, and for whatever reason you’re still carrying toxic secrets or lies of any kind, perhaps from your childhood, my friend, you have to figure out a way to deal with that stuff so you can set yourself free. There will be no real peace for you as an empath until you do. Again, empaths, by their very nature, value honesty and stand for the truth. The truth is everything for an empath. And if we’re out of alignment and we’re not living in our truth, if we’re still carrying toxic secrets, lies, or lies by omission, and all the shame that goes along with it, we will get sick emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and ultimately physically.
It’s a big one. Now hear me: If I can’t stand in my truth in a relationship with you, or anyone for that matter, if I have to pretend to be someone or something I’m not, feel something I don’t, forget something you and I both know is true in order to be in any kind of relationship with you, today I am very clear that I am in the wrong room, and I’m just not interested— not anymore. No thank you! Remember, the truth is everything for an empath.
