"Empaths" - Always giving your "advice" to pople who want it but never take it?
People who complain about their lives, how they are treated by others, how they feel like no one cares about them and how they feel, but they never actually make any moves to do anything about it.
You, because you are an "empath" you "feel for them" while they complain, you want to help them, you think, maybe they've had enough now and are ready to do something about it this time, maybe they now see its them who need to change, and you freely give them your wisdom, your insight, the truth of the matter that you so clearly see.
Then, after a few hours/days, you notice theyre right back in their old pattern, as if the very thing they were previously complaining about does not bother them now.
You have just massively leaked your energy and power to that person. They feel much better, because they have just consumed your energy. Where they felt empty and unseen, you have filled their "gap" You have topped up their energy by leaking your own. You are actually enabling them to carry on in this cycle at your expense.
You may feel drained, emotional, and/or that the things they complained about happening to them have now transferred to you and are happening in your life too as a direct result of participating in this highly toxic and co-dependant relationship dynamic.
If you "must" interact with this person, ( you ALWAYS have a choice in the matter ) it is imperitive that you have energetic and or physical boundaries firmly in place, and stop allowing them to feed on your energy.
Stop giving them advice, stop giving them your wisdom, stop giving them your truth.
They really are not interested in it, and dont value it, they may even talk about you and your "crazyness" to the people that they are trying to gain approval from, the ones they complained to you about.
All they really want from you is your attention, your energy, your love and care to fill the gaps in their own energy field.
This will only have a negative impact on your life as a result. Take your energy back, and use it to grow and nurture yourself and your dreams instead. Stop putting yourself last, decide you are worth putting your energy into instead of them!!
Keep moving, changing and growing, life is a wipeable canvas and you are the artist.
