  by Titan007 Most of us have at least one negative person orbiting our lives. They can be tiring—even exhausting—to be around, yet for one reason or another, we still have to spend time with them.

This means that they are exhausted in social situations and crowds.  Empathy is the ability to understand how someone else is feeling. Unless you are a psychopath, narcissist, or sociopath, you will have the ability to empathize with other people to some degree. People who think empathy more intensely than others are called empaths.
