People know you are a great listener!

When it comes to whom people will go if they have a problem, a lot of them are going to choose one that can understand them and help them, even if that help is just listening to their issues. While we sometimes crave someone objective who will give us solutions to apply to our problems, a lot of the time we go to someone who is a great listener.

If you find that a lot of your friends and family come to you seeking understanding and someone to listen and get them, then you may be an empath. This means that people value how you can relate to their problems and feel both heard and understood by you.

If this describes you, you should also be careful not to overdo it: too many people coming to you means that you will also get overwhelmed by people’s problems, experiences, and emotions, and you will find yourself taking on more than you should on an emotional level!
