The sigma empath makes for one of the

rarest combinations of personality types

that exist in the general population

they possess many of the same abilities

as a classic empath but manifest them in

very particular ways empaths are those

with an especially strong ability to

feel the emotions and moods of others

they are highly sensitive and described

as emotional sponges by dr judith olof

researcher and author of the book the

empath survival guide life strategies

for sensitive people

in her book dr olof suggests that the

empath sensitivity is a result of

lacking the same emotional filters that

most people employ to protect themselves

from being affected by their

surroundings sigma empaths on the other

hand are highly attuned to the emotional

states of others yet they possess an

inner sense of groundedness and

confidence that allows them to resist

being overpowered by the feelings of

others

the seemingly contradictory elements of

their personality often leave those

around them scratching their heads

trying to understand the inner workings

of the sigma empath however these

contradictions also make the sigma

empath a powerful force to be reckoned

with in society

so it's important to know how to spot

them

narcissistic personality types are great

at sniffing out empaths and using their

sensitivity to their advantage yet the

groundedness of the sigma empath makes

the ultimate foil to the narcissistic

personality type despite their mystery

there are some reliable tell-tale signs

of a sigma empath that can be used to

identify them today on blokebox we're

going to go through the top 15 signs

that someone is a sigma empath listen

through to number one to find out if you

or someone you know is in fact a sigma

empath the rarest of all personality

types

number 15 you view everyone as an equal

as sigma empaths are those who choose to

reject social hierarchies and live on

their own terms they are famously

non-judgmental of others living outside

of the social hierarchy means that the

sigma empath never needs to seek the

approval of those they view as superior

nor do they look down upon those they

view as inferior rather sigma empaths

are able to look upon everybody as an

equal and form their judgments of people

on an individual and unprejudiced basis

their combination of empathy for others

and their rejection of social hierarchy

is what makes for the sigma empaths

highly fair and just nature

number 14. you recognize your own flaws

whereas normal empaths are known for

their tendency to be people pleasers and

to be easily manipulated the same is not

true for the sigma empath

the sigma personality type has a natural

tendency to reflect deeply and perform

self-analysis as a result they end up

getting to know themselves on a very

deep and honest level and truly

understand their authentic inner selves

not only are they hyper aware of their

talents skills and beliefs but they are

also highly aware of their own flaws the

sigma empath doesn't shy away from these

flaws but rather embraces them and gets

to work on overcoming them

number 13. you have a unique but strong

sense of morality

the sigma empath is not one to play by

society's rules and so they often

develop their own unique set of moral

codes by which to live sometimes the

fact that the sigma lives by their own

moral standards can lead to suspicion

from those around them as others

struggle to understand the exact moral

motivations of the sigma however to the

sigma themselves this moral code is

abundantly clear they've reflected

deeply and developed a sense of morality

that they themselves feel is worthy of

dedication regardless of the

expectations of society as their moral

code is formed with such authentic

conviction sigma empaths are rarely seen

to stray from their values once they've

developed

number 12. you value your alone time

above all else

sigmas are by nature the lone wolves of

society so it goes without saying that

they like to be alone while they do of

course enjoy some degree of

socialization sigmas need to reserve

enough quality time with themselves to

allow them to perform the deep and

pensive reflection for which they are so

well known the empathic nature of a

sigma empath only compounds this need

for alone time empaths feel a lot on

account of the people around them and

all this can end up being quite

emotionally draining

sigma empaths will often find themselves

needing to take time alone in order to

recharge and back up their emotional

energy before heading back into social

environments

number 11 you protect your personal

space

as they have a strong need for regular

time alone a well-maintained sense of

personal space is an absolute must for

sigma empaths sigma empaths will look

after their personal space with great

care and usually do anything necessary

in order to protect it sigma empaths

like to draw clear boundaries for those

around them about where and when they

need their personal space to be

respected in order to feel secure and

reserve the time they need alone for

themselves

number 10 you easily spot

microaggressions

sigma empaths are highly perceptive

people as they are generally

disinterested in attaining a rank within

the social dominance hierarchy they

spend a great deal of their time

silently observing others

over time the combination of their

observance and their empathic nature

makes them experts in spotting

microaggressions in people's behavior

acts of passive aggression never work on

a sigma empath as they can see right

through it

this is part of what makes the sigma

empath so effective at dealing with

narcissists and manipulators as they are

able to resist their acts of

intimidation and passive aggression

9. you are highly independent

independence is a trademark feature of

the sigma personality type and one of

the easiest ways of identifying a sigma

empath sigmas by nature march to the

beat of their own drum and are by nature

averse to following orders sigma empaths

will harness everything in their power

in order to resist falling in line and

make defending their freedom and

independence their utmost

priority number eight you know how to

get people to agree with you

the sigma personality type usually has

their own unique way of going about

things and will often find themselves

having to convince others that while

their way of doing things might seem

unconventional they have their reasons

the sigma empath is particularly good at

harnessing a combination of their

intellectual and emotional intelligence

in order to persuade those around them

if you often go your own way yet find

that you have a natural knack for

getting others to agree with you it's a

particularly strong indicator that you

might be a sigma empath

number seven you can sense when someone

is lying

the highly perceptive nature of the

sigma empath also extends to their

ability to spot a liar sigmas are highly

observant people and tend to spend a lot

of their time silently picking up on the

habits of those around them with the

addition of the empath personality type

sigmas possess an ability to spot liars

that is so reliable that it can almost

seem supernatural the high emotional

intelligence of the sigma empath means

they spot tiny tells in a person that

give away when they are lying and their

analytic nature means that

inconsistencies in a story never go

unnoticed

number six you define your own worth

stigmas are defined by their choice to

reject the social dominance hierarchy

and instead live by their own set of

standards as a result sigmas never seek

the approval of others the sigma empath

has a strong sense of self that is not

defined by the opinions of those around

them rather they spend a lot of time

looking inwardly and learning to

understand themselves so that they and

they alone define their worth sigma

empaths can often be spotted by a unique

sense of calm and ease when it comes to

their self-esteem and level of

self-worth

number five you are aware but

unconcerned by society's expectations

the rejection of social hierarchy means

that sigma's practically never adhere to

the expectations of society those with

the sigma personality type carve out a

set of expectations for themselves and

make it a point to live by these and

these alone often sigmas may not even

notice what expectation society holds

for them sigma empaths on the other hand

are often highly aware of the

expectations that society holds of them

but simply choose to reject them and

keep walking confidently along their own

path in life

number four you see right through the

core of a narcissist

sigma empaths are known for being the

perfect antidote when it comes to

dealing with a narcissist unaffected by

the dynamics of the social dominance

hierarchy narcissists have a

particularly difficult time manipulating

sigma empaths to believe their

self-preserving lies as narcissism tends

to arise from a place of insecurity

sigma empaths tend to see right through

the core of a narcissist's issues and

understand exactly where that insecurity

lies this makes them incredibly

effective at neutralizing the toxic

behavior of narcissistic personality

types

number three you are a silent but

effective leader

while the alpha may be the personality

type most commonly associated with

leadership the sigma male in fact

possesses a secret ability to function

as a strong and effective leader in fact

sigmas are sometimes referred to as

introverted alphas for this reason

sigmas know how to lead with confidence

and humility and often earn respect

through their lack of need for approval

sigma empaths make for even more

effective leaders as they harness their

emotional intelligence in order to

maximize the dynamics of their team

when they find themselves in positions

of leadership sigma empaths know how to

get their team to listen to them without

aggression or even assertion and make

for silent yet effective leaders

number two you spend a lot of time

reflecting

one of the most notable traits of a

sigma personality is the large amount of

time they spend reflecting sigmas love

to ponder and when they think they do so

deeply and have no interest in shallow

or superficial observations sigma

empaths are no different but they also

possess the ability to spend a lot of

time deeply analyzing the emotional

experiences of those around them if you

find yourself spending a large amount of

time thinking over topics and can easily

find yourself getting lost in your

thoughts it's a good indication that you

might be a sigma personality type or

even a sigma empath

rare personality type in the population
