Usually, empaths give out so much love to others that they have hardly any left for their own selves. They spend so much time and effort on others and fixing their problems, they don’t get to sit down with themselves and have a conversation.

While asking for help, empaths feel whiny and selfish so they hardly do it.
Oftentimes, empaths keep themselves busy on their goal so that they don’t have to deal with their own problems and things that are bothering them. This is also one of the reasons that they end up with narcissists because they don’t give them much time and drain all the energy out of the empaths. And the empathetic person says nothing because he or she feels like they’re being a bad friend or partner.
Empaths don’t spend time on their self-care and often suffer from poor mental health. The catch is that they don’t let anyone know so others don’t even know that they are suffering. What they need are nice people around them that make them feel like they are important too and need to take time out for themselves first and do the little things that make them happy.
