I am an empath. What that means is that I am really sensitive to the world. Even the slightest idea that someone person or animal is hurting I feel it. It can be overwhelming. It may be much ado about nothing. Actually, it probably is. But I am bothered by any noise that has even the slightest hint of pain be it mental, emotional or physical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me start with people. I really don’t like listening to kids scream. I know they are normally having fun, but it still irritates. On the other side of things, I can’t listen to a baby or child cry. It could be that they are crying because they are sad or hungry or just want attention. Whatever the reason, it hurts me. I don’t know what is wrong. So, the empath I am wants the crying to end. I guess I figure if the crying has stopped, then the issue has been resolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to make a side note on crying. I cry easily. I am sure I will talk about that later. But from my life coach training, I will tell you that crying fills the basic need for love and connection. There are four basic needs. Crying is a way to fill that need by giving love and connection to the self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me move on to animals. This could be animals in the wild say in the woods somewhere. But I am talking about domesticated animals. There are a lot of cats around here. Most have someone to feed them. But when I hear a cat or kitten cry my heart aches. I hope they are just being impatient with the food being handed out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there are dogs. It breaks my heart to hear a dog bark or cry. Are they hurt? Are they scared? Are they alone? Whatever the case may be, I feel for them. I want to help them. At my last home, the man was not exactly abusive to his dogs, but he was not kind either. At times he would lock them in a crate for 10-12 hours a day. These were outdoor dogs, and this, to me was cruel. They would often have a blanket over their crate. It’s cruel. They could not eat or drink, or go to the bathroom. It was sometimes hot. I tried to help but the animal welfare people from the local shelter did nothing. It bothers me. It may be nothing, but to hear a dog cry breaks my heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, lets expand this just a bit. I’ve told you that neighbor noise bothers me. I worry about kids and pets. So when I hear a parent say anything to a child I think is mean, I freak out a little. The other day a young father told his child to put on a shirt and shoes, and it bothered me. I don’t know why. It did. He did not yell. It bothered me. It is hard to be me. And when I hear someone say that is a bad dog, it takes all the energy I have to not scream. They are not yelling or hitting or anything. I know my neighbors like their pets, but it bothers me to have them say bad dog. It was in a calm tone. No one hurt the dog. I guess in my mind there is the possibility someone will hurt the child or the dog, and I think that is what gets to me. It is the possibility that it may happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
