What I'm trying to answer and have been for a long time is if I'm an empath or not, that's when I found this site and I thought you guys could help so please do. The thing that I found odd is the emotions I can pick up, for instance my sister (for security reasons I'll call her Amber) amber and I would have a fight, yet much later everything would seem fine but I could sense anger, here's what the conversation would sound like: "amber I know your still angry with me. What? I'm fine. Amber I know your angry don't lie. H-how did you know?!. Heh, I guess I'm just psychic like that..." I was kidding then but I never actually thought I was psychic. Then whenever someone is feeling something strong enough I could not only sense it, but feel it as well as thoughts, when there are more than one strong emotion it starts to get overwhelming I get massive headaches (happens daily) and stomach pains (often)
I must admit it is fun at times but a heavy burden too, as trying to explain why I feel the emotion they're feeling to friends like when my friend (for security reasons ill call him nick) nick was feeling sad and I was next to him sobbing because of what he was feeling trying to cheer him up (didn't go so well) here's what it sounded like: "*sniff* don't *sniff* feel bad *sob* it will be alright!...why are you crying? *sniff* me? *sniff* nothing! Why are you sad?! I DON'T KNOW!"
And as for paranormal experiences, well more than I can type...
So all the evidence points to me being an empath, I just want clarification from actual empaths to judge if I am or am not. If anyone thinks I am I would really appreciate it if you could post tips! Thanks for reading my story!
It's just odd for me to think that not all people know how to read others emotions. I come from a huge Empath family after doing some research, and also found that Empath is hereditary. Perhapes this is why I grew up thinking it was a normal thing.
My house hold was like this. "Persephone, eat your veggies." "no, I don't really like em" "Kim please just do it..." "why are you mad at me?" "because you won't eat your dang veggies." "okay." "oh and don't get that attitude with me, just because you want to go out." Didnt know that wasn't a normal dinner convo but apparently is isnt.
As for spirits, the creep me out. I do not see them often but when I do, I try my best to avoid them, but I have had experiances in that part also.
Hope you can identify with that a bit
