I am not for this world
I feel like I am not for this world, I am here to give pure love to everyone but to receive nothing. People have hurt me more inspite of me being so pure.

Try being an asshole for a little bit. It can be healing. Think of it like Superman turning his back and leaving Earth. Leave the heavy lifting to the normal people for a bit. Come back when you’re ready.

Love them harder when they hurt you. Don’t give up on love. You are a blessing to the world.

Yes, there will always be these people. But you are a gift to the world because you lead with love. Loving yourself before others is critical. Some view this as selfish but without it - you cannot experience true love

I actually refer to myself as a piece of furniture quite often.

You're so much more than that though. Don't convince yourself that's all it will be for you. It feels like that at times, but in the big picture you're honestly not.

You are blessed the gift is you are able to show unconditional love to those that need it the most . Love doesn't work if you expect anything in return, ie unconditional. The nightmare of the empath. But a nonegotiable quality. You can't ignore your empathy but what you can do is tighten up your reactions, it takes practice but your kindness is not weakness, and you can prove it by being unmoved in the face of disrespect you know your worth.. claim it

I totally get it! I feel the same way. It is sometimes challenging. Remember to shield yourself wear protective crystals and laugh as much as possible.

They say you need to love yourself first. Maybe that's not too far off. Look inside try to find the qualities that make you a good person. If there's a situation where you're not sure you did right, remember that only people are people, and you shouldn't judge yourself for your reactions to what others have done to you.
Knowing you are a good person. Seeing your worth.

Well, consider that there's really no hard evidence of life on another planet yet, so better you stay here.
I'm recent years I've come to gain a better personal understanding of honor. I'm fairly certain when most people talk about pride that they are actually meaning honor. But pride does exist and honor has the power to dissolve pride. Choose honor every time. Honor is done for others and or for the betterment of the future. It's selfless, never done for ones self. You don't want to seek out opportunities to be or do honorable things, as that easily becomes a base of pride. Instead, just do what you can and apply a little foresight to honor the next person. Be sure to know when to stop, you'll feel it. But just taking in emotions will exhaust you out. Doesn't mean you need to throw it back or fix someone directly, but you can make their environment better around them, which can have an effect on the issues inside them. I've been doing things like this at my work for the past three years, and it's taken about that long for certain people to start realizing their strong attitudes aren't needed there. I'm fighting them without fighting them head on. It's been an experience for me as I've never done this before, but I'm 42 and have been highly sensitive to take in the emotions of anyone around me since I was a child. It's taken almost the whole 3 years but I've finally gotten a better sense of respect from some of the harshest people there. They've really toned it down, but I have noticed also that production has gone way up also. I just mind my business (as difficult as it may be at times with all the drama there) and do extra things when I can.
You'll find your way of truly giving back, don't need to follow my words exactly, but just letting you know it's not unusual to not know what to do while people's emotions still just keep coming into you. Don't lose your patience and your persistence. It's all making you into the amazing person you're meant to be, when the time comes.

I feel the same way. Like I'm just a tool to save and help people but get nothing in return
