Traits of an Empath #1

1. Knowing:  Empaths just know stuff, without being told.  It’s a knowing that goes way beyond intuition or gut feelings, even though that is how many would describe the knowing. The more attuned they are the stron...ger this gift becomes.

I know things.  I know things that I can't explain how or why I know.  I just know.  It's like there is this voice in my head whispering answers to me.  When I meet people, I instantly know if I like them or not, and in what capacity.  I generally know why I do not like someone and there are some that are good hiders and it takes me a minute to figure out why I do not like them but, I know there is something that just isn't quite right.

This knowing, it isn't just a hunch.  It's deep down, to the core knowing.  The kind of knowing that you feel in your bones.  It's consuming.  It's overwhelming.  It's like you have all the facts and you're certain you are correct.  The cards have been dealt.  It's all there in front of you.

There isn't any way to hide from it, this knowing.  And to look at you, I wouldn't know specifically that you're sleeping with your husband's brother but, I would know there is something off about you, you may seem disloyal to me or not trustworthy, or maybe a knowing you are not who you appear to be (hiding something) but, I won't know the exact detail.

It's rare for me to meet people and warm to them instantly.  There are a few and I can name them but, until I wade through my feelings and can categorize you (doesn't that sound awful?), I'm a lot standoffish.

I'm thinking back to talks my mom and I had about meeting "the right one".  She always told me, "Gail, when you meet the right one, you'll just know." and I remember asking, "How?  How will I know.".  Her answer was always without fail, "You'll just know."  She was right.  When I met Jeremy, I just knew.  I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with him (he took a little longer to convince!)

It's really that simple.  I just know.
