The Chestnut Bud type is one who keeps on making the same mistakes time and time again. Whether it be getting involved with the wrong type of people, eating something that is bad for them or even buying clothing that doesn't suit them, they will appear slow to learn and look very frustration to an outsider.
For Empaths:
As an empath, one of your diving forces may be to help others and make the world a better place. Someone may be in trouble and you, the empath, will do the best you can to help them.
But some of us are drawn to those who thrive on negative energies and control dramas. It doesn't matter what you do for this type of person, the moment you've helped them resolve their issues, they will always move to a new drama.
I'm sure we've all known people like that. They are draining, clingy, demanding of your attention and get angry if you decide that enough is enough and you will no longer give them your focus.
The empath's natural response to those in need is that their heart goes out to them. They will help them time and time again. However, nothing ever changes and in the end, all that ends up happening is that the empath feels used, abused and angry. They start feeling and acting in ways that they do not wish to, such as bitching about someone behind their back or have feelings of resentment. They feel that they are no longer the person they wish to be.
And yet, they will repeat the same patterns, maybe with another person, time and time again. Perhaps all their life.
