There's No Such Thing As Accidental Mind Reading... Is There?

It was around the time I turned nine years old that I started experiencing weird encounters. I would be asleep in my bed and suddenly feel something like a jolt of electricity going threw me, and then I would see a flash of color while my eyes where still closed. Sometimes it would happen every night during a week and sometimes it wouldn't happen for months.

I started being able to sense a presence in some people's houses and in only my room of my own house. Sometimes I would feel it and it wouldn't alarm me, it would almost calm me, although there were definitely time where whatever the presence I was feeling wasn't a happy one. That actually occurred more than when it made me feel calm. Other times, when I was at other peoples houses and I would feel this presence and it would scare me and make me feel uncomfortable... Like I wasn't supposed to be there... But I learned to ignore it and to just pretend it wasn't there.

Things have calmed down since then and I don't usually get feelings like that, although the jolts and flashing colors do still happen occasionally.

I'm 18 almost 19 now and I feel I've been developing a new sense, I can read people's emotions and sometimes I know exactly what they're thinking. However I don't feel that its an ordinary psychic reading because I don't know I'm doing it... For example, I was hanging out in my friends garage one night a while back and it was just me and her. We were laughing and I went to hand her something and as she took it she said "give me this" and to my surprise the exact same thing came out of my own mouth, in the exact same way and tone of voice as hers, but it should not have because I had no reason to say that, I was handing her something, so why did I say it? This happens to me almost every time I am with her. I never mean to even talk though, sometimes it just comes out as if she where talking out of me and I say exactly what she is saying exactly how she is saying it. There's no reason for me to say it, and I never realize I say it until I've said it. (THAT WAS A MOUTH FULL) I don't really know how to explain it other then that.

I am notoriously a quiet person, this is because I am always listening to people talk. Sometimes when listening I will hear what one person has to say and think in my head something and then I hear someone else in the conversation say it, but its not a once in a while thing, sometimes people will have a whole conversation and in my head I will think of what everyone says before they say it. However I never know whose going to say it. It's like they come to me as my own thoughts but then word for word and exact tone they come out of other peoples mouths. Sometimes not even just my friends but my teachers and others too.

I can also feel other peoples emotions. I know when people are lying even if they stare me dead in the eyes and lie, I can sense it. I can sense if your upset and your hiding it, I can sense when your happy even if your not showing it. I don't feel it myself, I can just sense it. I don't know how to explain this either. I just know, there's no feeling in it I can just tell you. This whole thing confuses me because I don't know how to deal with it. When I hear my thoughts come out of other people's mouths word for word time and time again I don't know what to do. This is the first I've talked about it with anyone except one person. I used to surround myself with very spiritual people, people who believe in "the secret" and the teachings of Abram Hicks. I'm not sure if what's even happening to me is psychic or just something that I'm thinking to much into. I am a Virgo so who knows. Last night was my most recent encounter with both an unhappy presence and me reading someones mind, or what I think is me reading their mind. I don't have anyone to share these experiences with, or anyone who would believe/understand them. I'm curious if it's even possible for me to have abilities like this or if I'm just crazy. Anyone who can help me or tell me what's going on please comment this!
