I need advise for a friend

[Aledrea]

Hello, I am psychic and one of my abilities is empathy, and I can also tell when someone is psychic. One of my friends are and I'm almost entirely sure he has empathy. He knows I'm psychic and we talk about it a lot, and I'm not sure how to tell him he's an empath. I really need advise on this!

You could simply suggest to him that you think he could be an empath like you are. There's no harm in giving your opinion.

Seriously though, aren't all humans capable of empathy, and thus all people are empaths, except for psychopaths?

Seriously though, aren't all humans capable of empathy, and thus all people are empaths, except for psychopaths? Not to mention...that everyone is psychic. Or at least everyone has the potential to develop their psychic abilities...just like anyone can learn lucid dreaming. Though some people are definitely more empathic than others. I'm not very much at all.

Hello, I am psychic and one of my abilities is empathy What makes you think that you are psychic? And how the hell is empathy related? Not to mention...that everyone is psychic. Or at least everyone has the potential to develop their psychic abilities...just like anyone can learn lucid dreaming. Then how come James Randi has yet to dish out his million dollar prize?

Really inappropriate for this area of the forum. You're allowed to have your opinion, but being disrespectful will get you infractions. Consider yourself warned.

If he's open to your psychic abilities then he will be open to empathy as well. Chances are that once you mention it to him it will make perfect sense anyway, since acceptance of empathy goes hand in hand with being empathetic. You should start by explaining to him what empathy is; most people know the general meaning (ability to feel what others are feeling) but don't understand the full implications of what that entails for people who have a stronger empathetic sense than what is considered normal. If he seems skeptical, you could ask him a few basic questions that might help him to understand, for instance, if he has noticed that he can generally tell if people are lying when others cannot, if he feels like his first impressions of people are usually or even nearly always correct, or if he ever feels strong emotions or cries uncontrollably without knowing why or without feeling as though there is anything causing it. If he is what would be considered an empath (as opposed to someone with a more normal capacity for empathy) then he will most likely welcome you talking to him about it because it will greatly improve his life. Empaths who don't know they are empaths are generally depressive or angry people because there tends to be more negative emotions floating around in thought space than positive ones and this can be an incredible downer for someone who is constantly tuned into that without knowing the source.

But for serious though, my questions still stand. How did you discover that you were psychic? And what does empathy have to do with psychic abilities? Empathy is a trait that all animals have. Most of the process does seem to occur subliminally which makes it extremely hard to pinpoint how you know someone else is feeling. But it is derived from many things that can be picked up on externally with out having to read their mind... Not to mention...that everyone is psychic.

People are capable of controling energy around them. ;D

I discovered it when I could feel that something bad was going to happen and it did a couple days after and about two years ago I started writing and some of the things I wrote came true. It happened, but the details of it were exactly opposite. For example I wrote about a fire starting in the cellar and hours later the place next to me went up in flames and it started in the attic. And as for empathy, for me I don't even have to be looking at the person to tell what they're feeling. One time I was talking to a friend of mine and I could feel that someone was very angry and I told my friend and we turned around and there was someone who was VERY pissed off. and there's been other times where I could feel someone's emotions from miles away, but only a close friend's.

My empathy only works on TV or if something sad happens to someone. I can feel their pain even if i have never expierienced it. But alot of times it is because i have actually expierienced it. I don't believe in psychics though, but that doesn't mean they can't be real.

I was pretty skeptical about psychics too. Until I met a real one when I was living in Chicago. You just sit down in front of this guy and don't have to talk and he tells you your entire life story up to that point in full detail, and then talks a bit about what's coming. But it's a total mind trip. Maybe he can just read minds...I don't know. But he came highly recommended by a friend, so me and my sister and another girl all went to him. We saw him separately and each one of us pretty much had own minds blown. During the readings he had to get up to answer the phone a few times and I heard him giving quick advice to whoever was on the line. I can imagine that some people would base their every move off of what he suggests because he's just so accurate. I probably would have gone back if I still lived in chi-town.
