If I called people on the carpet every time I sensed a lie, I wouldn't have any friends, lol. Actually, I wish I could. I don't like lies for stupid reasons, I've met people who lie about the dumbest things, I just think if you have to lie, be good at it, and make sure it's a life or death matter.
I have in resent years, learned to process information without feeling. I'm very analytical as well as very sensitive, so when I'm in a thinking mode, I don't feel. I don't know how I did this, except by analyzing. I use both sides of my brain equally.
That's funny, my step daughter was very hyper, adhd hyper. I couldn't stand being around her. Her energy was hell for me to be around. It's also funny, I think I release nervous energy on people accidentally sometimes. Years ago, my friend Thomas out of the blue turns around and said I was making him nervous. But I wasn't nervous at all, I was calm. So I couldn't understand how a calm person could make him nervous.
Wow! This is the first time I've read something that truly describes what an empath/clairsentient is. Nice post. Too bad the poster deleted or was deleted. :/
I would like to add that science is learning how it works. They found that everyone's brain mimics what it sees as if the person is experiencing it themselves. Pain for pain, sadness for sadness. This is why a smile is contagious! Empaths in the spiritual sense are merely utilizing this natural mechanism on a deeper level because they also have the ability to sense energy/spirit.
Here is what I don't get why is it some people get so mad thinking the use of some peoples empathy is "special"? The singing analogy is a great one. The skill to use empathy is always just under the surface but everyone can not use it because their mind does not allow it. It is a tool that is useful in other gifts. And it is special. People are guarded in this time and age and it seems so few are honest with even themselves about how they feel. There are clinical clues to figure this out but empathy goes deeper than that. Empaths have a natural skill of picking up on changes and energies given out naturally by each person. And I think the skilled empath can use this as a stepping stone to develop other gifts they may naturally have.
Yes Ravens are quite wise lol. Its a great debate although I think some are being a little undermining perhaps because empathy is something not received in their life. Its all a matter of perception
I too had a very similar childhood my father was drunk and abusive mom wasn't around I am recently looking into being an empath I believe I am but unsure of where I go next
