When most people think about empaths, they don't realize that there are actually several different types of empaths out there.
For instance, there is the animal empath, who is able to understand how animals think and feel.
Then, there is the intuitive empath, someone who has an uncanny knack to be able to understanding what others are thinking and feeling.
Another is the emotional empath, which is the most common type of empath.
The most confusing type of empath for many is the telepathic empath, who goes beyond being able to understand the feelings of others.
This is a person who seems to know things that there is no possible way they should know.
The telepathic empath seems to automatically know what others are thinking, without having to even speak to them.
Do you think that you may be a telepathic empath?
Today we are going to take a look at the main signs and traits of the telepathic empath.
Hopefully, this article will help you to learn more about yourself as a telepathic empath, and how to deal with it.
Let's get started.
What is a Telepathic Empath?
Do people often tell you that they feel an almost instant bond with you and that you just seem to understand them so well?
If so, chances are that you may be a telepathic empath.
Before we can discuss telepathic empaths, it is important to talk about what an empath actually is and what they are capable of.
What is an Empath?
Generally, the empath is someone who has a very high level of intuition and is able to sense and feel the energies of those around them.
The empath is often unable to separate their own emotions from those of others, and this can be quite challenging at the best of times.
We all know that empathy is an important emotion, and that most of us have empathy to a degree.
But the true empath has so much empathy for others that they can truly be a godsend at times.
Unfortunately for the empath, their gifts can also be seen as curses.
This is because they can easily become overwhelmed, especially when they are stuck in group settings.
They take on the energies of everyone in the room, and then they end up with so many emotions running through them that they are not able to deal with everything all at once.
At the same time, there is no better person to turn to for advice than an empath.
They know how others are feeling, and they can get right to the root of the problem and help come up with solutions.
Understanding the Telepathic Empath
Now, there are empaths, and there are empaths.
The telepathic empath is someone who not only understands and feels the emotions of others but also seems to always know what others are thinking.
You don't have to tell a telepathic empath what is on your mind, because chances are, they are already going to know.
They will often even be ready with a solution to your problems long before you are ready to ask them for help.
This is a person who knows what is going on in someone's mind without ever even speaking to them.
They are highly in-tune with others and are able to read things like facial expressions and body language with ease.
In addition to being able to read people by how they act, they are also able to pick up on their energies.
They know when there is positive or negative energy around them, and they usually know how to help others, even if they do not understand how they can also help themselves.
If the regular empath is overwhelmed while in crowds, just think of how bad a large gathering can be for the telepathic empath.
It will deplete their energies in minutes, and they feel exhausted without even having to exert any physical strength.
Negativity is something that is strongly sensed by the telepathic empath, which is one of the main reasons why they really don't like being with large groups of people.
The more negative energy in a room, the more overwhelmed they are going to feel.
They can become completely overwhelmed in just a few minutes if there is too much negative energy around them.
Even if the energy is positive, it can still be overwhelming to the telepathic empath.
This is because they are picking up on all of the feelings and emotions of each and every person in the room.
That would be a lot for anyone to have to deal with.
How Does a Telepathic Empath Know What Others are Thinking?
When we think of telepathy, we think of the ability to read the minds of other people.
We also tend to think of things we have seen in horror movies.
While the jury is still out on the actual existence of mental telepathy, there are people who have telepathic qualities.
This includes the telepathic empath.
In many cases, it is not thoughts that they are picking up on, but also the feelings of those who are nearby.
Unfortunately, all of these feelings can end up in a huge jumble, which will greatly overwhelm the telepathic empath.
In a sense, the telepathic empath does have the ability to read the minds of others.
Seeing as how one's emotions will easily betray their thoughts, this is not a stretch of the imagination.
In some cases, a telepathic empath must touch a person in order to be able to read their thoughts and emotions.
Other times, they simply have to be near that person to pick up on their energies.
All it can take is something as simple as a friendly hug for the telepathic empath to know that there is something wrong.
As soon as they get this feeling, they will start to pick up on other vibrations from that person.
One of the most wonderful things about the telepathic empath is that people cherish their friendship.
This is a person who always knows what others are thinking and feeling, and what advice or comments to give.
Basically, the telepathic empath is compassionate and can understand the emotions of others on a very deep level.
5 Telepathic Empath Signs & Traits
There are several signs and traits that identify the telepathic empath.
Obviously, one of the biggest signs that someone is a telepathic empath is that they absolutely hate to be with large crowds.
This is a person who would rather spend their time alone, or with small groups of people who they are close with.
In large group settings, they tend to take on too many energies, and they often can't handle all of what they are receiving.
Let's take a look at the five main signs and traits of the telepathic empath.
1. Telepathic Empaths Have Strong Intuition
The telepathic empath is someone who has a strong intuition, and they use it as their main tool when dealing with others.
Through their intuition, they can really get to know others on a deeper level.
One of the great things about having such a strong intuition is the fact that the telepathic empath can use what they are picking up to get to know people.
They can even figure out things that others do not want to reveal.
Unfortunately, they are able to pick up on both positive and negative energies, and they often learn things they would rather not know about others.
This gift is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways.
Do you only have to look at someone or touch them briefly to know what they are thinking and feeling?
If so, it could be that you are a telepathic empath.
2. Telepathic Empaths Pick Up on Negative Energy
The next trait is they are a very caring person who develops close bonds with their loved ones.
In fact, they tend to know what their loved ones are thinking and feeling, even if they are far away.
Have you ever had a feeling that something was terribly wrong with someone you love?
This is because you have such a close connection to them that you often know before they do themselves.
This is one of the signs of a true telepathic empath.
Maybe you have dreams that suggest someone is in trouble.
Then, you find out that they are having difficulties, have been in an accident, etc.
This is much more than just regular intuition.
This is something far deeper than that, and it is something that telepathic empaths are well known for.

3. Telepathic Empaths Have Fluctuating Moods
Because a telepathic empath is someone who has to deal with many emotions, including both their own and those of others, they tend to have fluctuating moods.
Or, some may say they have a lot of mood swings.
They could be happy as a lark one minute, and then angry or depressed the next.
With so many emotions being constantly picked up by them, this is not unusual, but it can be quite frustrating.
If you find that you pick up on and absorb the emotions of others, and you always know what others are thinking, you may be a telepathic empath.
You will need to learn how to deal with this.
Otherwise, you could end up with so many thoughts and emotions to deal with that you can't handle all of it.
You could even end up shutting down emotionally, and this isn't good for you or for those you love.
4. Telepathic Empaths Form Strong Bonds with Others
The telepathic empath is someone who is great at making new friends.
They are easily able to form close bonds with others in short periods of time.
These skills are great for those who love to have a busy social life.
Unfortunately, for the telepathic empath, this is not always the case.
Like most empaths, the telepathic empath enjoys spending time with loved ones, but too much of this can be just that, too much.
In fact, it may be necessary for them to break away from toxic people.
Unfortunately, due to their nature, it can be quite difficult to break these bonds.
Even toxic people have lovable qualities, and that is what the empath is looking at.
5. Telepathic Empaths Often Need to Escape
We have discussed how overwhelmed a telepathic empath can become when they are picking up on so many emotions and thoughts.
This is why it is normal for them to need an escape once in a while.
The telepathic empath is often seen as someone who can take on the burdens of others, who is a great listener, and who can help others with their problems.
But, what about their own problems?
The more an empath takes on, the more overburdened they will become.
This will lead to great frustration, and after a while, they could end up completely overloaded.
When this happens, they need to find a quiet place where they can relax and recharge their energies.
That way, they will be ready to help the next person who needs them.
Are Telepathic Empaths Rare?
It is thought that only about two percent of the world's population can be considered true empaths.
While this is rare enough in itself, it is even rarer for someone to be a telepathic empath.
If you think that you may be a telepathic empath, you are a very rare type of person indeed, but one that people need to have in their lives.
You are unique, and you have skills that very few others possess.
It is important that you learn how to use and deal with your gifts.
You do tend to take on the energy of others, and this can deplete your own energy.
You always seem to know what others are thinking, long before they even consider telling you.
This can lead to a jumble in your mind because you are not only dealing with your own thoughts and energies but those of others as well.
If you are a telepathic empath, you possess qualities that only a very tiny percentage of other people possess. Use those qualities to benefit yourself, and to benefit others.
