16 Things Every Good Boyfriend Does When Dating An Empath

An empath is someone who feels absolutely everything under the sun. If you are sad, so is an empath. If you are so excited about life, you better believe an empath will be on your same page. Having a lot of empathy especially when it’s entirely unconditional, has been said to be an extreme blessing and a curse at the same time. Empaths are fortunate to be able to feel every positive emotion at an extreme high, but that also means that when it comes to negative emotion, they can sink and feel very low.
