When a person is said to be an empath, he or she knows that the experiences of other people on a daily basis are sometimes going to be hard for them. These experiences also include dating.
For an empath who feels the emotions of other people strongly, new relationships may be overwhelming—that can happen even when it is something he or she really wants.
Not only do empaths experience painful and heavy emotions like fear, anger, or depression more intensely than other people, but they may also experience feelings of happiness, joy, and excitement.
When experienced all of a sudden and in an enormous way, excitement and happiness may be overwhelming, and everything that they experience is quite huge.
Here are four tips for empaths who find themselves in new relationships, which will help them keep themselves from driving themselves and their important partners crazy:
1. Spend enough time in solitude.
When empaths enter into new relationships, it is natural for them to desire to spend the majority of their time with their loved one. However, not providing themselves with enough time to be alone means failing to improve their self-care.
They should keep doing the things that they enjoy doing alone, and at the same time, they should make some time in order to be together with their new partner. This balance will help them avoid feeling overwhelmed too soon or assist in continuing the relationship in a healthy way.
2. Avoid their wish to go all in—at first.
So, when they feel there is an emotional bond, they usually desire to just jump right into that relationship. A lot of empaths report that they have relationships that are intense and short—nearly as they crammed several years of the relationship into one month.
Sometimes, intense things are difficult to sustain, so they should try to pace themselves and let their relationship flow.
3. Acknowledge their fear.
Fear is always present when two individuals are vulnerable to each other, which is the hallmark of a relationship. Empaths don’t just feel their fears quite strongly but pick up the fears of their partners.
Although fear has its purpose, such as telling them to be careful, it may also keep them afraid and stuck to keep going. They should practice meditation on a regular basis and also be honest when it comes to their fears so that they can better understand when they are not founded.
4. Be open when it comes to their needs.
Empaths are always going to need a specific environment type in order to be and feel healthy. For instance, they are going to need some time spent in solitude, and they will want to avoid wasting time around loud noises and large crowds.
When they date a person who wants to party all the time, they may start having some conflicts about where to spend their time. However, this can be avoided if they explain to their partner the meaning of being an empath or the way of life they have to live to take better care of their own needs.
If their partner is the one worth having, she or he will be prepared to make a compromise and make sure their needs are entirely met.
