Being an Empath means you are sensitive to emotions. Basically, that is what empathy is about. However, it’s possible that you may be receptive to more than feelings. When this is the case, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person as well.

Some people consider Empaths as the same with Highly Sensitive Persons. This is not the case. Although there are HSPs who are empaths, being an empath does not automatically mean that you are a highly sensitive person. It depends on how your nervous system functions.
