My Positive Traits

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

I think one of my most valuable traits id my ability to have “hyper-empathy” for others.

I can sense others’ emotions easily, and I’m quick to comfort and support people by putting others’ feelings before my own. I tend to go out of my way to prevent others from experiencing pain.

I often act as a guard to shield others.

I sometimes overextend myself to try and fix things for people. I have to remember that God has a purpose for other people’s pain. And that I need to step out of the way.

But, along with this hyper- empathy I have difficulty trusting others. Because I’ve been let down, betrayed, and hurt, I tend not to open up and accept help from others. I also tend to isolate emotionally. Even if I need help, I will sometimes struggle through my own problems because I don’t trust others.
