When Did You Discover That You’re an Empath?

Here is another interesting question for empaths, intuitives, or highly sensitive individuals. Last week, in our famous psychic medium business community, we discussed the differences in when people discovered or realized their heightened sensitivity compared to those around them.

So, in December 2023, we pose this question: At what age did you discover that you were an empath or a highly sensitive person?

Was it in early childhood, high school, after becoming a parent, following a spiritually transformative experience like a near-death experience (NDE), an out-of-body experience (OBE), or an experience of cosmic consciousness?

Or did it happen much later in life, perhaps after your children graduated from high school or college, while pursuing spiritual inquiry and realizing your heightened sensitivity, intuition, and compassion?

Many intuitive empaths discover later in life that they have spent a lifetime feeling embarrassed or ashamed of their sensitivity. In our community, we emphasize that sensitivity is a superpower, not a flaw. If everyone experienced the world as empaths do, our species would likely be better off.

Share your experiences with us, whether in the community’s comments section or on our public page. Was it during early childhood, high school, after becoming a parent, after a spiritually transformative experience, or much later in life? It could also be a combination of these factors. For example, some members of our psychic mediumship group have reported that a near-death experience later in life granted them the “gift” of deep empathy for others and sensitivity to invisible energies.
