Ever since I can remember, I could feel other people's emotions, and see spirits. More recently, I've been able to hear the spirits, and see future events. I've seen dead relatives right after their death, without knowing they were dead. I love my gifts, don't get me wrong. But it's frustrating not to be able to tell people, because they won't believe me or they will think I'm crazy. I've told some of my family members, but I know they just think I'm crazy. My father doesn't believe in any of it! And it freaks my sister out to tell her anything.
One night I told her that a little girl came to visit me the night before. Which was true, she just showed up in my door way. She was really shy though, and wouldn't talk, after a while she just went away. But my sister like freaks out, and tries to tell me that it's not real. I know it is though, I don't have that creative of an imagination.
There are these spirits in my great aunts house too. They put pictures in my head of when she was a little girl. It's really amazing. Although after a while I tend to get a head ache from all the pictures.
Right now though, I hate being in crowds, because the worst part of my gift is being able to feel what others feel. It's so over powering. And when I try to tell my friends, so that they'll understand why I don't like to be in crowds or why I get so many headaches after social events, they think I'm crazy. And the worst part is when they tell me "okay I don't really believe in that stuff, but I don't think you are crazy" but I can feel what they feel. Oh and recently I've even been able to hear a little of what people think, like say inside their heads. And I'm really good at telling when someone is lying. It's frustrating when you know someone is lying to you like that.
Why do people think I'm crazy? I think it's pretty normal, how do you cope with the fact that people don't understand you. I don't care what people think all that much, but would it be too much to ask for someone to actually understand what I'm going through!?

Yes it does sometimes feel like your lying to your loved ones and friends, but more times than not it is for the best. You don't want to tell the wrong person and then they start telling other people that you are a freak. Trust me, its not fun being known as a freak without fully knowing about your gifts, and worse when you know its because of your gifts. I was in both positions so I know how that is. But don't worry, my suggestion is to try and predict, not in the psychic way, how they will react if you did tell them and if you believe it will turn out with positive reactions then go ahead, or you can just say forget what they think and just tell the person you feel you should. Its up to the way you wish to go about things. Me personally, I threw some hints out months in advance to telling my best friend. But to each, their own.
Just keep in mind that we were given these gifts by god, the higher powers, fates, whoever you wish to associate these powers with, because they felt we could handle not only them but the opinions others might have of us because of them.
