I’m MenPathic, and maybe you are too
MenPathic = Male + Empath + Highly Sensitive Person
If you, or the guy you love, grew up being told to “Bro, stop being so sensitive,” or “Dude, you need to toughen up,” or “Why are you so shy?” … you & they are probably MenPathic.
Traits Common to Most of Us
☑️ We’re highly intuitive
☑️ We need alone time to recover from over-stimulation
☑️ We have highly-tuned senses
☑️ We absorb energy from other people
☑️ We can’t explain it, but we often know things before others do
☑️ We’re often moved by music and certain scents that trigger memories or experiences
☑️ We can be very uncomfortable in some social situations and often feel drained afterward
☑️ We can also turn on the charm, but it’s not our preferred activity
☑️ We see right through pretenders and can spot a bullshitter in a millisecond
☑️ When we’re around a narcissist, we’re like Superman around Kryptonite

The Good News?
There is nothing wrong with us…
Approximately 20 percent of men are empathic and/or highly sensitive. It’s no different than having red hair; being a MenPath means you inherited certain traits that result in a higher level of sensitivity.
As ‘MenPaths,’ we are more sensitive to stimuli, emotions, and energies than our non-MenPath brothers. It’s important to realize that what you may have thought was an issue or a negative trait is, in fact, a superpower.
