You aren't suppose to feel less...
That was never the goal.
Children who grow up needing to read the room become adults who automatically monitor everyone else's emotions. Eventually, they call themselves empaths. But what's actually happening is their nervous system never learned it was safe to stop scanning.
That's why boundaries feel guilty.
That's why saying no feels terrifying.
That's why other people's emotions feel like your responsibility.
But YOU are your responsibility too. ❤️
Your peace matters.
Your energy matters.
Your nervous system deserves the same care you've spent your whole life giving everyone else.
This isn't about becoming less compassionate. It's about finally including yourself in that compassion.
