Is This Some Sort Of Empathic Connection?

I meant someone this year, the second semester of school, we both had a class together. Anyway, of course cynical me expected the worse at first. But shortly after I found, no worries, he really is a nice person. He was extremely kind and generous, you can tell he thought about your feelings. For the most part he just skipped the class, however, despite how little I knew him he cared deeply about me. I remember when I was wearing a shirt which showed my shoulders he noticed my scars which barely ever anybody noticed. He looked extremely sympathetic despite being shocked. Well anyway like I said he barely ever came to that class and usually just skipped it and since he was a senior he got to leave early anyway. But the next time I saw him for exams, I noticed he was staring at me and looked very sad, I could sense things about him through my 6 senses and I sensed how he learned about self-harm due to his own curiosity hence must have been staring wondering about that. If this helps at one point it felt as though I may have been feeling an attraction towards him but just instantly blocked it away (I've learned how to shut such off, hurt way too many times.) Well anyway, with that aside I feel as though he is definitely an empath or some sort of psychic, he's in-tune with his spiritual side, very artistic and talented (drawing, break dancing and also music). Also, he got so emotional when we were assigned to rewrite about a kidnapping before that it seemed as though he was almost unable to work. So what do you guys think is going on in regards to this being some sort of empathic/other psychic (?) connection or not?
