Social phobias

[eastofeden]

I want to ask you Sil...do you know whether or not you are an empath because most empaths do not know it and/or have any understanding of it and agoraphobia is almost always a problem at some point ...I had the same thing once for a period of many years and a counselor did help me come to terms with it. My problem is that I am an empath and I freak out around certain people or situations...or at least I used to before I learned how to live with it. Sometimes still I have to go to this website where I can get advice from other empaths as I have the horrible 'gift" of taking on someone else's physical ailments and it is frightening.

You should check out what an empath is first and see if this applies to you...I sense it might so maybe this will help determine at least one way or the other.
