I seem to be one although I'm sometimes a rude one. The thing for me is that I hurt when other people hurt (not as much, most likely, like I hurt when I see a person's arm cut off but I'd definitely hurt more if you cut my own arm off). Other is that I'm always confused as psychic.
For example, I was at a friend's birthday party and I saw a girl and she was soooooo sad (to me)! Then I pulled my friends aside and asked, "Why is she so sad?" Then they said, "You are idiot! Look at her! She is smiling and laughing! You drank too much!"
But I could swear she is soooooo sad. Like even though she was laughing, I looked at her face and could feel heavy burden on me. It depressed me so much looking at her; I couldn't smile and be happy.
Then by end of party, we found her outside in a corner balling her eyes out. Turned out her boyfriend broke up with her right before the party and she was just smiling and laughing to keep a positive mood.
After that, my friends were like, "WTF! Are you psychic? How did you know?" And I didn't know for sure but I just felt such a deep sadness when I looked at her face and body language. I'm not sure if I'm empath or just someone who pays more attention than usual. Maybe my perception skill is godly or something. But I feel it too in my own body.

Yes I've never thought about it before but they're ll true ^^ With lying, it depends on things. If someone has bad intentions towards me I can always tell and I'm very careful and don't trust them and I know how they're gonna try and take advantage of me once I've been around them a bit. But if people just lie as a joke like tell you something untrue and see if you believeit or tell a story that wasn't true etc. I don't feel that they're lying then so I have to use my brain and be sceptical and figure out if it's true or not. I used to just believe things when people told me without malice and other people thought it was hilarious. And I'm still easier to trick in that way than most pople probably. But I can tell the important lies so that's good enough. :)

I'm not sure. I think a true empath just instinctively can deduce what another person is feeling. I can LISTEN I'm a good listener. But if you don't TELL me I'm not always good about picking it up on my own.
I'd just say I'm a people pleaser. I don't want to see anyone down or in pain. Not so much an empath.
I got 4 out of the 10. Everyone considers themselves one now a days. But after seeing what real empaths experience, I dont even toy with the idea. I am thankful I’m not one. No one should have to go through the pain real empaths experience
I got the top row, not the bottom, most of those are naive. Humanity wil end up following its instincts so greedy men will always rule. And they don't give a shit about humanity. I don't let emotional leeches linger in my presence. That would encourage their bad behaviors. I can spot some liers but I would be a fool if I think I can catch them all.
No. I'll help almost anyone, but I do not generally feel empathetic with the plight of the individual.
If it's legitimate and genuine I totally am but other times you have people always complaining about ailments and all you can do in your power is lead them to the water and whether they drink it is their choice and only their choice
3/10. I feel real empathy sometimes but mostly I pretend I feel anything but I don't.
