What is Toxic Empathy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toxic empathy is when a person over-identifies with someone emotions, feelings and takes them on as their own personal. Although, if the other individual\u2019s anxiety and stress keep you from your current tasks and responsibilities, it is called toxic empathy.<\/p>\n

Toxic empathy is when you do not just replicate and reflect another person\u2019s emotions or feelings, you also experience and consume them. Consuming someone else\u2019s problems can cause you to become equally overwhelmed or even more so. When you replicate another person\u2019s emotions as your own, you make them your emotions too even though you are only empathizing or putting yourself in that person\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n

People who are overly-empathetic or hyper-empathetic may gradually lose their own wants, needs as the feeling when overshadowed by another person\u2019s emotions. These people experience others\u2019 emotions to an extent where they lose themselves and feel the pain or negativity and in some cases positivity of another person. This diverts them from their own path and their life and onto someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Regular over empathizing can lead to a reduced capacity of making one\u2019s own decisions as per their best interest. They may also experience draining feelings physically and mentally since they draw away from their own feelings. People who give greater importance to others\u2019 lives and needs above their own experience general anxiety and even mild depression at times. They don\u2019t think of themselves often and are fully consumed by others\u2019 sentiments they report feelings of emptiness and meaninglessness. They mostly look at situations from another person\u2019s perspective rather than their own.<\/p>\n

Some signs you may be experiencing toxic empathy are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pitying others\u2019 situations often and use it as a justification if they are mean and unpleasant towards you.<\/li>\n
  2. Giving in to others\u2019 demands easily and find it hard to say no or refuse.<\/li>\n
  3. Unintentionally physically replicate another person\u2019s stress i.e, feeling like you have a knot in your stomach, clammy hands, etc.<\/li>\n
  4. Emotionally mirroring another individual\u2019s pain and feeling persistent emotions of sadness and suffering for a prolonged period of time.<\/li>\n
  5. Feeling exhausted physically and psychologically after interacting with people.<\/li>\n
  6. Being unable to complete or fulfil your own responsibilities because you feel overwhelmed by your feelings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Managing toxic empathy<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Emotional Hijacking<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Emotional hijacking is when another person\u2019s thoughts and feelings have control over your emotions and feelings. People who have a high empathic quotient and are prone to toxic empathy may experience emotional hijacking during a process like venting. They can absorb the other\u2019s frustrations and replicate them. To prevent this, you must observe what emotions you feel when someone is expressing their feeling to you and remain calm, relax. Composing yourself later on and relaxing gradually will allow you to release the other individual\u2019s emotions and empathise in a healthy way.<\/p>\n

    Healthy relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In mutually healthy relations both parties\u2019 emotional needs are given proportionate importance. It uses the give and take method where both parties act as listeners and speakers as well. Every healthy relationship has a well defined boundary where everyone\u2019s needs are met and an equal amount of support is given to both individuals. Communication is key and is necessary in order to fully express and let go or relive yourself from some of the negative emotions you are feeling. Communication in a healthy relationship would make you feel heard, lighten your mood and deepen your connection with the other individual.<\/p>\n

    In a healthy relationship, boundaries are extremely important since they help you distinguish between your own needs and the other person\u2019s needs which allows you to shield yourself from toxic empathy.<\/p>\n
