So its now occurring to me maybe I'm psychic?
As a child I saw some pretty weird stuff. When I was around 8 (I don't remember exactly because I ended up repressing a lot of this) my great grandma died. I can't remember the day in full but I do remember that I heard her voice calling at me. Just talking as if she was still alive but she wasn't there. I looked around and asked my gramma why great gramma was trying to talk to me. She told me not to be silly and I moved on.
In what I think was the same year I witnessed more people appearing which of course frightened me to no end. I hid in the bathroom for a while.
As I grew older tried to convince myself I was paranoid even though with each he's house / apartment there came he's spirits.
First apt. - a maid figure cleaning my shower appears to me while I'm IN the shower.
Sec. Apt. Mostly repressed. But I do remember a male figure in my attic
First house: I lived in this house five years. While I was there I was terrible haunted by a young British boy, an old lady and a sketchy al Capone type guy. I often had many conversations with the boy through free writing, the woman was a very nice woman she always tried to protect me. And the Capone guy didn't do much except appear in mirrors. Along with this I was harassed by an unknown entity which I thought I got rid of. I may have been wrong.
Anyway. I lived in that house for five years and halfway through year six my mom decides to move to a smaller place. For those six months having repressed my abilities to speak to and see the dead I was fine however I became very sensitive to emotions and people. I've been able to pick up other peoples thoughts and emotions and I tend to mimic a person if I spend enough time with them. Now along with that my seeing and hearing has come back and I'm freaking out! What do I do? Am I sensitive or am I crazy?
As it has already been said, You are not crazy. My advice to you is if you do not want to see/speak to the spirits you do not have to. When you sense that you will see a spirit all you need to do is distract yourself or just simply tell them to go away. Spirits will learn quick that you are not open to communication with them and leave you alone. It's up to you what you want to do.
You also have the ability to be able to open yourself to others in order to be able to understand them as a whole person. Great empathic skills. I would keep that if I were you. Hope this helps.
