If you answered yes to several of these questions, you’re probably an empath, someone who is wired to feel not only your own energy and emotions but also the energies and emotions of those around you. Perhaps you were a sensitive child, or you might have awakened to this sensitivity later in life. Below we’ll explore the root of your sensitivity and how being an empath makes you a little different from friends, family, and colleagues who are not as sensitive: You simply have more to process at the end than your less sensitive friend....

While they all maintain the core characteristics of narcissism (entitlement, lack of empathy, and a need for control), they’re displayed through different behaviors and vary in degree of severity and danger. Clinical psychologist and Harvard lecturer Craig Malkin, Ph.D., thinks of narcissism as a trait, or pervasive human tendency, which exists on a spectrum.
