March 15th, 2016 1:17 PMstarseed galaxy auticornYeah. Anyway, I think also that one of my medications has suppressed a lot of my empath abilities though. I was getting far too overwhelmed by the emotions of others I think, that it was causing a lot of depression and very profound anxiety. :c In a way, I didn't have much a choice. So, it actually does help me control those things better though.

I don't usually have it at the extent you might. The reason why I feel my empath abilities got me into being demisexual is because of also how I felt with physical contact. I once had this ex-boyfriend in real life. He wanted nothing but to be physically affectionate with me. However, I wasn't into this kind of affection. I felt as if the affection he wanted was hindering the emotional bond I wanted from him. I think also that a lot of my empath abilities are due to my autism. Most people think that autistic people aren't empathetic. This is actually false. We sense things in a very different way. I know when someone is going through a lot, and I can usually feel those emotions from them. However, I'm usually unable to act upon it at times. Like, because of the struggles with autism and empathy, I think this is what other autistics feel as well. We KNOW what empathy is, but the problem is that we can't express it the same as a normal person can. It's kind of hard for me to explain. ><

March 15th, 2016 10:43 AMNinaWell I don't tie mine to being demisexual at all, but it does make sense that'd I'd want to have a personal connection with someone before doing stuff.
I just know that I always know what others are feeling in the room no matter what they say and it gets projected on to me. So much fun in elementary school "Nina, I'm yelling at these students who are bad and you've done nothing wrong, why are you crying?"
I always knew it to a degree, but then going to a funeral of someone I don't even know and feeling everyone's grief weighing down on to me to the point of an almost panic attack sealed it. -
March 15th, 2016 10:28 AMstarseed galaxy auticornWell, I'm not really sure I'm a full empath though. I just know that I can often sense the strong emotions of others. XD I've known this for a few years, I think. I've also figured out that because of this that I'm demisexual as well. I'm strongly attracted to emotional connections with others. Like, if I was to lose a good friend I had a real emotional connection with, I become severely depressed and self-harm. ><
I also have this ability where... if I'm also emotionally-attached to others, I can connect them to an object that reminds me of them. Then, I can often feel the emotional bond I have with that person. I think being an empath has been what has lead me in my beliefs as demisexual. -
March 15th, 2016 10:11 AMNina"Not to mention, I'm also able to feel the emotions of others. I know it sounds weird, but I just feel things much more strongly than normal. For example, if I feel someone's love... I can feel it wrapping around me as if they are giving me some sort of emotional hug. It's a bit hard to explain, and it's not something I tell a lot of people because most don't really believe in empath abilities and such. :c "
Yoooooo, fellow empath over here. : D
