I used to look for guidance, for answers everywhere but within. Same for my emotional needs. Going on solo trips or eating out on my own at restaurants would freak me out. You know what I mean?Now I revel in my solo time - it’s so precious! Because the best cure to loneliness as an HSP is time in silence and solitude.

If you’re an empath and a highly sensitive person, being yourself could be very different from moment to moment. Like a chameleon you change depending on who is near you. You can easily take on the identity and emotions of the people around you. You may be seeking validation from others, yet you may struggle accepting love from others and feeling lovable.
