    My mother does this. She asserts a random made up statement as fact and immediately believes it to be true.

    It’s infuriating! She has no actual evidence to back any of it up! Not even circumstantial evidence.

      Have you never met one of these self proclaimed “empaths” who are so busy telling you how you feel that they forget to actually listen to you telling them how you feel? I sure have met a few in my day.

      I think the point of this is you can’t know how they feel, only assume. Empaths assume and then trust their assumption so much they believe it to be fact.

    As I grow older, I trust more and more my intuition and energy.

    People can be deceiving. I don’t trust words as I used to.
