Empath Identity

It is so important for an empath to spend time alone and take regular breaks to restore his or her own identity. When I spend too much time with other people, I feel my energy is slowly blending with theirs. I actually feel it. I know when it happens. So, if I take a break and just walk away even if from a few minutes, I feel my energy is slowly cleansing and my sense of self is coming back. I do not want to blend in my energy too much with others because I love my life and I do not want certain energies to linger in my field and later manifest in my life. Most people know it as dealing with “drama people” where you spend too much time with them and crap starts happening in your life too. So, same with empaths and the energy – so important to have regular break to restore your own energy and clear out others. To me, it is kind of like this: of someone is sick (flu, cold, etc), we try not to kiss them or sit close to them, etc because we do not want to catch any germs and also get sick. Well, as an empath, I do not want to catch any energy germs either.
