Always trying to help people

[Jolixte]

I hate to see people unhappy or hurting so I try to help them in any I can. I'm so empathic towards people, but I find it so draining. How do I learn to stop trying to help everyone? It's getting to the point were people don't see me so much as a friend but as someone who only gives advice. I love caring for people, but I can't fix everyone. I just don't have the energy for it and makes people see me as just that. What do I do?

well you will hate me for this but you cant completely tune it all out
(no matter how hard you try :rotfl: )


but there are things you can do to help with most of it like shielding, grounding, and centering, also Hematite is a great stone for grounding and is also good for headachs :)

why dont you stop by the Empath Bunker :)

yep those work, and yes we have a very long thread discussing this at the top of just talk first sticky. you can learn to pick and choose those who need you and how to help without draining

yeah, if only it was as easy as it sounds LOL, I still have trouble "sorting" emotions

takes a lifetime of practice, but some relief is better than none

Well, I'm not really an empath, just empathetic.
