A coworker asked me today if I was an empath and I had no idea what that was. I asked her to explain and it was basically “someone who knows what other people are going through.” It’s way off from what I assumed it meant (I thought she said “are you in N-PATH” and I assumed it was a certification program lol). But isn’t this just someone with empathy?

    From what I've gathered (against my will): a few people online needed a new thing to feel special with, this time by convincing themselves that they're especially gifted with empathy.
