I've always had some clairvoyant tendencies, But about 6 months ago I started getting really strong feelings, like flows coming from other people. At first I was ok then I started to feel like other peoples emotions were suffocating me. I started isolating myself from people cause it seemed the closer I was to other people the more intense the feelings. I started to block it out now as soon as I start to feel something I automatically block it out. Ever since then I've been a real cold person, I rarely cry or express any intense emotion. What has happened to me?
Hello! I have the same ability that you do. We are referred to as empaths; people who feel others' emotions. If I feel that someone is depressed , sad, or lonely, I'll go ask them what's wrong. You should see the look on their faces. Of course I always have to explain how I knew something was bothering them. It's a great way to meet new people too! God may have given you this ability in order to help people who may not have someone to talk to about their issues. Some people often refer to us as "psychic vampires" because we can feed off a person's emotions and use it against them. I can do it very easily, but I prefer not to. It's easy to do, ,yet very difficult to explain how to do it. My best advice is to not distance yourself from people too much, you may be the person God chose to help them. hope to hear back from you soon.
Okay, from here on out I'm probably going to be referred to as "That skeptical bitch", but I'm going to tell you something very important that my friend told me awhile back that pulled me out of a very deep, dark hole.
You do not have 'empathic powers' anymore than anyone else does. You need to step away from your life (espically if you are a teenager or a pre-teen) and take a critical look at it.
Try not to blame your current state on your 'empathic powers' and people's emotions. You have a condition known as depression. I did too- but to realize it I needed a good hard slap.
Which is basically what my friend did for me.
So go slap yourself, talk to a doctor, and get some meds.
If that doesn't help, then consider the possiblity of empathic powers.
You will figure it out, out of nessessity like we all do have faith in your ability to problem solve and experiment a bit till you learn to block most not all input like taking a peek out the door a bit. you'll get it with practice.
Being empathic can take you to the top of a mountain and to the bottom of the heap. It all depends on who's emotions you are getting. It does take practice. And I am also a "psychic vampire". That term doesn't mean we are bad though. :)
Being an empath can have its rewards - however if your not protecting yourself - you need to learn how so others emotions dont drive you crazy. Sounds like you need to learn how to meditate and start working with what we call the white light. hope this helps.
HOLD IT EVERYONE! I HAVE AN ANSWER! I'm gonna try to help both parties here, alright? First off, let me tell you the difference between clairempathy and empathy. Clairempathy is like telepathy, in the sense that emotions and thoughts are picked up by more sensitive people. Empathy is the IDEA that we can "put ourselves in others shoes". Unlike the explanation of "magically draining other people of their emotional energies", psychic vampires are people that can never seem to get off our backs. They continue to harass and bug us for every little thing, eventually making us lose our time and energy on things we don't want to follow through with. They keep us away from our own tasks. A couple easy examples, though often inevitable, are when we have children and when we are in an physically or emotionally abusive relationship. The best thing for us is to stay grounded and be able to say "no" to the demands of others. We have all been both victims and perpetrators of psychic vampirism, and it's silly to say that one can use their psychic gifts to conciously sap others of their energies. It doesn't happen. I don't enjoy skepticism for one reason: Skeptics look for proof. Proof is a physical thing; the psychic realm isn't.
One more thing for the younger sensitives here on the message boards: Don't go around telling people that you are psychic! I learned that the hard way. Explain it only to your closest friends and family members. Think about the reason or purpose for your psychic talents-even ask for the guidance of a Higher Power or an Angel/Spirit Guide. They will let it be known to you in some way that they are there for you and willing to help. If you're psychic, you know that spirits are a very real thing. Just don't start thinking the whole stereotype of good and evil spirits. There are many shades of gray, and remember that dark spirits cannot harm you unless you let them or want them to.
