Current Events > I just semi got preached at by an ex addict "empath"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Said she was a meth addict and one night saw demons and death itself and she can read people right off the bat n shit

She's my grandma's bathing aide

I guess calling yourself an empath is the new trendy thing to do. I've been seeing it pop up more and more lately.

The way she explained it makes it sound like she can read social cues. That's it

She didn't read the one where I was uncomfortable and didn't really wanna talk tho lol

That's because she's not an empath, she's just "unique" and demands that you recognize it.

she cast that black dragon right back at you

Poor little perma-tweaked girl.

Hey, its better than the whole, I am Jesus Christ! ego trip meth can induce.

People have called me an empath. I don't get it, isn't knowing how people feel just a requirement for living in a society?

no

But how else will you efficiently manipulate people and gaslight them?

be born good looking or work out idk

all humans aside from sociopaths are "empaths" (a creature capable of empathy). this is not something that needs to be declared.

That just gives you access to people's bodies. Seizing their hearts is how you destroy their lives.

Working out'll do it

First time we actually spoke she went on a spiel about my dog looking like Isis, and that Egyptian mythology was her favorite thing

She also said she saw the number 5 a lot and that it meant change

She was missing a few teeth up top. I know what it's like to be an addict though that itself is no joke

Same. I first heard it loke 6 months ago and honestly everyone who claims to be an empath is insufferable

They think they have super hero levels of empathy and can read emotions people might not even realize they are experiencing.

Some chick I dated for 3 weeks told me that anyways. Theres a reason I was done after 3 weeks.

And they can't actually pick up on how someone feels worth shit lol

I'm selling her to be some kind of dick headed super annoyance, but she's just a nice lady with a checkered past that likes to talk

I've noticed a lot of current or former drug addicts like to think of themselves as special in some way, like they have abilities others don't. But that ain't so

I reached a point in my life where any kind of personality gimmick like that was an immediate red flag and I'd just move on.

Same goes for 'witches,' homeopathic medicine, yoga girls (the weird kind), and vegans.

Does she refer to herself as an "old soul"?

No but she may next time

Idk if she has any crystals either. I'll ask

Coming to grips with being normal and not special is hard for some people. She kept saying she was here for a reason too. Because of God

@Johnny_Nutcase

Oh for christ sake

Can be hard to tell with people like that whether theyre acting crazy, just lying, or worse... neither lol

Correlation? ;)

*rolls eyes*

sounds like you made a wise decision there because that just sounds .... dumb.

oh the ironing!

The ironing board. Yes.

To say that you're able to read someone's emotions and whatnot, and then not know that they feel uncomfortable talking about it and want to move to something else...

Giant_Aspirin posted... oh the ironing!

....wtf did I do there lol

She's a very nice lady though. I don't want to just sit here and badmouth her. Seems very caring and empathetic

she had a snake for a pet
and an amulet
and she was breeding a dwarf
but she wasn't done yet

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I think he meant it about them, not you

Least that's how I read it

I would've been like "I've also experienced bizarre tricks of the mind when sleep deprived for days on end, though nothing as extreme as visual hallucinations of demons. Probably because I was just having insomnia bouts, as opposed to chronic meth use. As for the reason why you're here... It's probably not god. It's probably because you quit meth. You should be more proud of yourself for that and give yourself more credit for turning your life around instead of attributing it to some specific deity."

She'd probably not like that response at all and might get pissy with me about it, but I could just be like "Well if saying that makes me an asshole, then I'm an asshole. We can't ALL be empaths "

Yeah she was ridiculous.

She texted me about problems we were having and when I said there were no problems she told me she knew stuff I felt that I didn't realize... so I just didn't respond.

When she finally called and I actually answered I was like this isn't working and she was like I knew it and then told me she wasn't gonna talk to me anymore... except she kept messaging over and over anyways cause clearly it was just an attention thing.

Also how deeply involved she got in 3 weeks was literally insane. Don't tell me you love me in 3 weeks. Jesus.

My grandma's actual hospice nurse came and told me 9000 things going on with her and only 2 about my grandma

Why do these people talk so much

I told her what I tell all religious people; I don't talk about my beliefs or lack thereof, but I will listen to you
