I have met other humans in real life whom are comparatively more empathic than most humans. Although, they were not born with the trait, but rather developed it throughout their childhood. For instance, one person I know was an abuse victim. At a very young age, she had to learn to read others and pick up emotions so she knew when to avoid the abuser. This eventually caused her to become very sensitive to others.

[Shrugs] That being said, I have no fundamental, solid proof of the existence of empaths (aka Highly Sensitive People). I just have reason to believe they might exist. I fully understand your skepticism. But, if you think about it, there was a time when nobody ever heard of schizophrenia either. Ergo, just because it has not been widely researched or documented does not immediately mean it is not out there. [Shrugs] But of course, I could be in error.
