Empathy Or Clairvoyance?

Ever since I was a child, I knew I was different. I had trouble fitting in, and no one seemed to understand me. When I was about 4 or 5 I would experience Deja Vu frequently, more than once a week, I remember thinking why does this day keep happening? What's going on why do I keep feeling that? I had about 2-3 encounters with spirits, or seeing shadows appearing rapidly when I was a kid, or hearing strange noises. I couldn't sleep at nights, and often would question life at such a tender age, I had nightmares at least once a month, I would wake up crying or scared and had the feeling someone was trying to harm me.

I think I may be an empath, because ever since I can remember, I've always been very sensitive, and sensitive to others emotions. If I saw a relative or a friend crying, I'd immediately feel sad and start crying with them. I'd pick up on their emotions fast, and even if I wanted to feel happy I just couldn't. So I found myself having constant mood swings. Till' this day, I still feel like that, but it's not as strong as when I was a child. Even as a teenager, it was still strong. I was always the go-to person for advice in my circle of friends, and I often felt like I didn't know who I was, because I kept having a mixture of emotions, that I was just confused as to why I would feel like that. It's as if, all of my friends' emotions would overwhelm me. I can't pick up others emotions as easily as I used to, does this mean I am no longer an empath? I'm only 20 but I did have rough teenage years, and frequent mood changes, so that maybe could have triggered my sensitivity towards others.

When I was 14, I went through a near death experience, I was on my way to school I was running late so I was walking fast, I decided I should start running because one of the administrators was about to shut the gate close, but all of a sudden I slowed my pace I had this bad feeling that I shouldn't run, I knew the gate was closing, but even so something told me I should walk slowly so I did, out of nowhere I hear gunshots, 3 to be exact they were about 4-5 inches away from me I immediately dropped to the ground along with the other students that were walking next to me. Had I ran towards the gate I could have been killed or badly injured.

That wasn't the first time that's happened. There's been a couple of times that if I go somewhere I get a bad vibe from the area or a person, about 5 months ago I was collecting money around the neighborhood for a deceased neighbor to help pay for the costs of her casket and other stuff, I was with my friend and cousin, we kept knocking on doors and such, we approach the last door towards the back I get a bad feeling about it, and I tell them, "Guys, I have a bad feeling about this one. Let's not knock on that door. Let's just leave." They didn't listen to me, they wanted to go anyway I was hesitant about it, and actually felt scared to approach it, but I went along with it anyway because we needed as much money as possible so I ignored the feeling and worked up the courage to knock, we knocked a couple of times. No answer but then by like the 5th or 6th knock they started opening the door, I started explaining how we needed to raise money for our deceased neighbor, I wasn't even halfway in fact I only said a couple of words, and the black lady just slams the door right in front of my face, and as we were walking away she threw something at us, and I could've sworn I saw her pointing out a gun through the window

I'm confused as to what I may have, are these just mere coincidences? Or do I actually have a gift? I'd love to hear your input on this, and hope to get some help:)
