You’re sometimes overcome by feelings that you know aren’t your own. You’re walking along, minding your own business, and wham! You’re hit by a wave of sadness, suddenly feel incredibly irritated, or even - and this is the best - a surge of joy.
You often feel emotionally and physically exhausted. You got eight hours sleep, have been drinking plenty of water, don’t have any emotional issues that should plague you at the moment, but you just want to lie down.
Being in nature brings you great peace and a sense of calm.
You have a deep affinity for plants. You just know what a plant needs - a certain nutrient, water, to be moved to a specific location - when no visible signs are apparent.
You understand other people better than they understand themselves, so people often come to you with all their troubles and issues. Even though this may weigh you down, you never turn them away because you can feel their pain.
You’re very interested in self-growth, self-help. You want to evolve. You want to learn. You want to grow. You not only want to evolve yourself, but you have a deep interest in evolving humanity as well and helping humankind to evolve.
You’re easily distracted by, well, anything (because you notice everything), so it’s hard to focus in a classroom, during a meeting at work, or at a party. You’re never going to go to a coffee shop to write up a report, put the final touches on your project breakdown, or churn out your blog.
You have a deep connection with animals. They just gravitate toward you.
You have difficulty relaxing when people are around you. You can’t fully let yourself go. You have a need for solitude and a space to regroup from other energies, and get aggravated if you can’t have that space.
You’ve always struggled with trying to fit into society or the world. You observe much of what goes on in life as though watching an ad on TV, as if these goings-on don’t involve or apply to you.
You tend to support the underdog and are very quick to spot that person in a group or room.
You have a willingness to accept full responsibility for your actions, sometimes to the point of taking blame for something that’s not your fault.
You’re attracted to the healing arts in all its forms, including holistic therapies.
While others may feel music needs to be loud to be experienced, to you, it feels like a full-out assault on your nerves.
You find routine, roles, and control extremely claustrophobic, and like the freedom to do your own thing in your own time.
You sense the energy of food and know whether it will give you energy or deplete it.
You love daydreaming and have a deep and rich inner world. You’re highly creative, a visionary, and you need the space to create.
You can be easily manipulated by others and often feel taken advantage of or exploited.
You’re gentle on people and on the planet.
You’re deeply intuitive, and just know things without being told. It’s a depth of knowing that goes beyond just a hunch.
When you’re near someone who’s not feeling well, you find yourself feeling their symptoms: nausea, headache, chills - doesn’t matter. And often, they walk away feeling better.
When in certain geographical locations - a sacred spiritual site, a battleground (even unmarked), or the home of a historical figure - you sometimes feel flooded by the emotions of those who were there before you.
Crowded places, such as malls, are especially difficult for you.
You have difficulty receiving compliments, gifts, services, or kindness from others. You feel obligated to repay them immediately.
You fear hurting other people’s feelings, disappointing them, or letting them down because you can feel their pain (possibly to a greater degree than they do).
It’s difficult for you to watch or read frightening, sad, or depressing movies or books. You can become physically ill.
When talking with someone, in an effort to understand them, you find yourself lost in that person’s thought process and lose track of your own.
Because you pick up on the energies that are happening to others, or even around the planet, you feel fear and anxiety easily. Often the smallest thing makes you feel fearful, anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed.
When standing next to someone - anyone, anywhere - you sometimes mistake their thoughts for yours.
You’re very service-oriented. Helping people brings you great joy.
When someone says one thing and means another, you can easily tell.
You have a tough time wearing pre-owned clothing because you can feel the energy of the person who owned them before you. You just don’t feel like yourself in them.
You’re attracted to all things metaphysical and spiritual.
You’re highly compassionate toward other people and tolerant of their weaknesses, insecurities, and mistakes. You treat others with kindness whether they deserve it or not.
