I feel overwhelmed in crowds. I don't like going places where lots of people are present because I feel all sorts of different emotions at once. I can look at someone and feel I know their past and how they are feeling. I have frequent severe headaches everyday and I attribute them to these abilities. I am also extremely lethargic and I want to be able to tell which emotions are mine, and block out the ones that aren't. If those close to me (like my parents) are ill or have a symptom of an illness, then I feel their pain. I can't always decipher my emotions from others' emotions, and I have depression but I think this is me feeling everyone's emotions and feelings. I have always been extremely sensitive and tuned in to other energies. I can also see auras and feel the presence of spirits and entities. I don't like conflict because I can feel what others feel, and I know when someone is upset or lying etc. In certain places, such as churches with cemeteries, I feel overwhelmed with emotion and sorrow and despair etc, and I feel the pain that some went through and felt (physically and mentally). If I am watching something on TV about something bad or upsetting happening, I feel VERY depressed and upset - I feel what they are going through. It's the same on medical shows. For example, on this programme a couple of weeks ago, I began to feel a burning in my right palm, a few seconds later a man fell over and cut his hand in the exact same place, in the exact shape. This happens everyday and it's interfering because I can't control it or differentiate between my emotions and someone else's.
I can also draw others' pain out of them and sort of bring it into myself, so I feel it and they are somewhat 'healed'.
Could I be Empathic?
