empath
An empath is one who indiscriminately catches others’ emotions like a receiver, losing sight of their own feelings. They cry in place of strangers’ sadness and shoulder the heaviness of the office air. While offering infinite empathy, they secretly wonder, “Is it my fault?” Claiming the title of emotional diplomat, their domain is a dumping ground for others’ feelings. They are emotive custodians who self-destruct under the guise of kindness.
