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?

    Yeah, I think we're largely in agreement. The people who act like it's a supernatural ability make it borderline impossible to talk reasonably about it, sadly.
