That’s the point though. You are an empath and use your gift to help people but there are a lot of people who abuse the term and use it merely to garner attention or manipulate people. It’s just like mindfulness, which I love and practice but so many people have a negative view of it now because it’s been used in ways that do not actually align with the practice. It’s important for people to be able to tell the difference between what is true and what is fake.
