Empathy is the ability to recognize and feel the emotions of others. Sympathy is a feeling of compassion for other people. Often times, being an “empath” means that you absorb most of the pain and suffering of others, and this can negatively affect you.
If you've been in a room with a negative person, you know how toxic energy can be. Learning not to absorb the negative energy of other people is a great spiritual skill.
Here are 5 ways to protect yourself from the bad influences of others.
1) Remember that you cannot please everyone
If someone is complaining about you, don't try to please that person. This will only draw energy out of you, and make you energetically dependent on his opinion.
Not everyone will love you. People live on earth for a different purpose. Love yourself, first of all, and you will create a force field that will protect you from the influence of the opinions of other people.
Also remember that you cannot change everyone. Don't make it your mission. Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply not absorb the energy that people are projecting onto you.

2) Be careful about inviting other people into your life
Your body, mind and immediate environment are your temple. Who will you invite to it? Is this an open invitation? Do people have to dry their feet before they walk in, or is it okay if they drag dirt into your soul?
If one day you give a person a piece of bread, he will ask for a loaf the next day. If you allow someone to stay for the weekend, they will try to stay for a week (or two!). I once thought that my wife was cold and mean to some of our neighbors. Once I realized that she just respects herself and her home, I appreciated her attitude and accepted it as my own.
It's great to be generous, but there is a fine line to stick to so you don't get trampled. Learn to say no and feel good about it.
3) stop paying attention to assholes
The parasite needs a host to survive. When you pay attention to someone else, you give them energy. Energy vampires will steal your thoughts, reducing your energy supply. Some people will dump their negative energy on you and then move on to the next victim.
A friendly ear may be a wonderful thing, but there is, again, a line that no one is allowed to cross.
Maybe the other person is pouring out their frustrations at work, in a relationship, or even successful accomplishments. All these emotions can drain you and change your life in a bad way.
Love yourself, stop people, or tell them that you are not ready to listen to this right now. This will stop you absorbing their toxic energy.
4) Breathe in nature
Get out into nature, meditate, rest and breathe. Purify the water inside yourself and exercise. Move like a butterfly: soft but fast.
Breathing increases circulation of blood flow throughout the body and helps prevent energy from being absorbed from those around you. Walk with confidence, keep your head up, and don't let anyone ruin your mood.

5) Take 100% responsibility for your thoughts and emotions
How you feel is 100% your responsibility. The Universe sends people into our lives to test us. Our perception of ourselves is stronger than the perception of others.
You are not a victim and no one has power over you. Think about how your thoughts or expectations are manifested in the situation that bothers you. What if it all depends on your level of patience, irritability, or compassion?
Once you take responsibility for your reactions, you connect with yourself on a deeper level.
Create situations for yourself that increase your energy level. Do you feel good around this person? Does this person feel good about you? You are worthy of a brilliant experience, and the time has come to realize it.
The science of protecting yourself from the energies of other people begins with self-love. Remember that you are worthy of happiness and peace. Remember that it is okay to say no, and you are the author of your own energy state.
