Empaths are susceptible people who deeply feel the emotions of those around them. Moreover, like introverts, empaths are likely to feel overwhelmed by crowds and loud noises.

9 Telltale Signs That Phoebe Buffay of the Group
Highly sensitive
An empathetic person is sensitive to much energy and reacts emotionally to being over-stimulated. However, it is not like you cry over spilled milk or anything; you feel emotions- very deeply. If someone is telling you about a challenging time they went through, chances are you will be the one who starts tearing up. On the other hand, you are susceptible to extreme mood swings because you are so profoundly affected by the emotions of others.
Read people
Empaths have a deep sense of knowing when it comes to understanding other people’s motives. It is usually easy to tell when someone is lying or not being genuine. You are observant of the subtle messages other people send through body language, facial expressions, and gestures. This helps you to read other people like a book.
Peacemaker
Being empath means that you cannot stand disagreement. In the face of conflict, you will either altogether avoid the situation or seek to resolve the issue immediately. Your motto is “there is always a way,” Thanks to your persistence, you usually find it.
You are also very sensitive to violence and aggression in the media. The news, television, and movies deeply affect you. Watching violence on TV might make you cry or make you feel ill.
Quirky and creative
Having a keen energy antenna not only leads you toward being empathetic but usually a cultural creative, as well. Whether a painter, musician, mathematician, inventor, or social revolutionary, you feel inspiration from beyond. These people do things that move society forward. Something that most people do not currently understand seems to go against the grain.
Eclectic taste in music
Music genres tend to appeal to empaths. Your music preferences are usually influenced by your varying emotional states. However, you should be especially mindful of the massages in your music! You can be deeply affected by the lyrics in a song. Sometimes you are better off just listening to instrumental music.

Love animals and nature
Empaths tend to connect deeply with animals, and they will not be the people who tie their dogs up outside for hours on end. You likely have a pet or two at home and you may feel the need to be outdoors often to neutralize negative emotions you take on from others. And since you can feel the pain of animals, eating meat throws you off. You may decide that it is easier on your heart to simply go vegan.
You often daydream during conversations
People often go to empaths when they need to talk about something, and empaths are great listeners. Still, they are not good at listening to many small talks. You will be listening to your friend telling you about her day at work, and the next, you will be thinking about what someone said to you earlier, trying to decipher its meaning. If something is particularly dull or wholly disconnected from emotion, you tend to drift off into your own little world.
