Not sure if this is your empath type? Here are the telltale signs:
Earth empaths experience the planet itself as a living, feeling entity. Walking into a new building, you immediately sense its energy and history. Some places feel nurturing; others make your skin crawl. You may have felt earthquakes or natural disasters in your body before they happened. Urban environments, especially those built on sites of trauma, can drain you quickly. You're drawn to spend time on the land, and may feel strongest connection to your ancestors' homeland. Your home's location matters deeply—you can only thrive in places with good earth energy.

You need partners who understand your sensitivity to place and won't force you to live somewhere that feels wrong. Moving frequently can be destabilizing for you, so partners with wanderlust may struggle to understand your need for stable ground. The ideal partner shares your respect for the land and enjoys creating a home that feels energetically balanced and connected to earth.
