A HSP needs lots of quiet time,space, and freedom. If this sounds...
Hello.....
please excuse this being long but im hoping to help people also.......x
I am a 40ish yr old woman who has only recentley in the last couple of years found out that i am an Empath.
I have always been a loner and people have never understood me and why i need alone time.
I am in fact an only child and i do beleive now that this was planned for me... Being a loner i beleive has NOTHING to do with me being an only child.
Here to start off with are a few things that help me cope and like ive said its only recentley that ive come to realise this......
I have always not been able to stay somewhere too long.... even at my parents house.. !...i have also come to realise that i hate being away from home , i think is more down to the fact of me needing my own space and being with people 24/7 on a vacation or holiday is just too much for me , again people dont seem to understand this and i get labelled selfish a lot.
If i go shopping i either go first thing in the morning or last thing at night as i can cope better.
I have my own car because i prefer to be in charge of my own daily schedule.
I love music but on the other hand too much noise bothers me , i havent found out why this is yet.....lol.
Theres quite a few more thing but right now my mind has gone blank, i will ad to this topid when they come back to me.
My problem that i have is this.....even though i have only just come to realise that i am a highly sensitive person or empath as we are called.......i have been married to a Narcissistic man for 27 years !.
The way i came to find out was by trawling the internet looking for what was wrong with our marriage.
Once i had found that he was a Narcissistic , i wanted to find out why i was constantly so ill......and when i say constantly i mean , every single day.
Being with a Narcissistic is hard enough itself but when your a HSP , its hell..........
recentley i have took it upon myself to sleep in seperate rooms to try and start healing myself for a start.
I am trying to emtionally detach from him and focus on myself only.........this is not proving easy.
I am also considering leaving because it has affected my health so much , but most of all i have found out that my soul is dying and knowing that for me made me do some serious thinking.
I have felt like i was dying emotionally for years but now i have all this information i feel that i need to actyally do something?
does this resonate with anybody?
much love xxxx

I left after thinking that maybe I could just keep on going with the marriage for my daughters sake but realized it would be more harm than good, and that I wanted more out of a relationship
Being a loner does not mean that you want to be alone,, and lonely and alone are two different things, and one can feel alone inside a marriage or feel fine being alone. I like and need my alone time but do not want to be lonely.
You are in the right place here, and I hope that you can start a wonderful new life
