I have for some time wondered if I was an empath. Apparently, I have the tendencies and some of the abilities of an Empath.

Go to this site to understand more...........Empath Traits

But what I want to know is how many people believe in Empaths? Which of you are Empaths? And what abilities related to being an Empath have you picked up on?

I for one used to be a fun loving person but over the last 8 years it has become a slow decline into an introspective lifestyle. I feel sick around people who are angry and often I become emotional about it, making me want to be alone.
I often delve into people's emotions so much, not of my own accord, I can sense their thoughts. Not hear, but sense.
Also, I can project emotions onto others. I'm like the emotional chord between one person and many others, making a kind of snowball effect.

But whatever, just discuss and etc....

The ability to be sympathetic to another's feelings to the point of actually feeling them yourself is nothing special. People do it all the time. I don't see how this is psychic? Laughter can be infectious, seeing someone cry can make you cry, watching someone vomit will make you want to vomit etc.

You didn't look at the site did you? Yes, everybody can sense emotions, but there is more to it. Read the article and then you can make a proper reply without your tremendous amount of sarcasm.

There is nothing significant about that article (which I did read at the time). It just gives out broad general statements like 'sometimes empaths are reclusive, sometimes they aren't'. There was very very little 'traits' of the empath that was mentioned that could be seen as paranormal.

And I wasn't being sarcastic in the least. I guess empathy doesn't work over the internet.
