Some people come into this world a little more fine-tuned to
subtle human behaviors and emotions than others. Their senses are heightened,
so they pick up on things that often go unnoticed by everyone else.
For example, maybe you and your friend just met someone, and while
you’re chatting it up and having a good time, you notice your friend isn’t so
keen on socializing with this person. They’re quiet and not too enthusiastic
about having to be around him or her. It’s because they’re reading a piece of
their body language that you haven’t picked up on yet.
When a person is wearing a guise to mask their true selves, red
flags start shooting up in the mind of the empath. They recognize the
manipulative behaviors for what they are. This is a problem for empaths because
they can only respond with inauthentic people with their own version of inauthenticity,
and they’d rather not waste their time on superficial interaction.
Here are four types of manipulative behaviors that empaths and
highly sensitive folks absolutely cannot stand:
01. Being friendly for selfish reasons
These are the types of people who want everyone to like them, so
they feign interest in everything a person has to say, agreeing, but never
really listening to what you’re really saying. Empaths are fully aware that
this person has no true interest in anyone other than themselves, so they don’t
readily open up to conversation with this person.
The empath will likely respond to this person in a very droll,
uninterested manner.
02. Their compliments are noticeably fake
Empaths and highly sensitive folks are completely aware of all the
different ways to compliment someone, and that includes the compliments that
are really meant as insults or criticisms. If you’re not sincere in your
compliment, empaths believe that you shouldn’t say anything at all.
03. Hiding one’s true self behind a fake persona
Empaths struggle greatly with these people because it’s impossible
to form any sort of connection with a fake persona that doesn’t actually exist.
In rare cases, empaths will want to bring out the real person hiding behind the
mask. But, when this doesn’t work, they’re simply left dumbfounded at this
person’s inability to self-validate.
04. Those who keep a “tough” exterior to hide their inner pain
Empaths have an incredible capacity for being able to feel what
others are feeling without any words being spoken. If you’re holding a lot of
pain inside and trying to hide it from others, the empath is one person who
sees right through you. They feel the pain you’re feeling; hiding it only makes
it more intense.
They
recognize that trying to talk to someone about their pain isn’t always desired
by the other person, but sometimes they try, because empaths are often the only
ones who can remove the mask in order to help a person heal.
