Vulnerable and bold piece! I very much enjoyed reading it, my friend!

I identify myself as a recovered unaware empath; meaning that I'm still an empath but with sense of self giving birth to strong and unquestionable emotional boundaries.

A few days ago, I listened to a very interesting video describing "Highly Sensitive People" and noticed many overlaps with the former me. Here it is, should it feel worthwhile:

This being said, the kind of folks to whom I'm naturally attracted now (no matter the type of the relationship) share all those traits:

1. They don’t personalize things

2. They are beautifully connected to their feelings

3. They feel safe to be vulnerable

4. They tend to show emotional maturity in conflicts and arguments

5. They have emotional boundaries and honor them

6. There is a lack of expectations from other people to mind-read

7. They lack the willingness to hang out with toxic people

8. They can apologize and forgive more easily

9. They don’t use relationships to fill any void
