Empathy is only one of the great talents a few have and can utilize, but it is used to read others emtions and to read emotions ( in my case) from those of the spirit world.
In one case of empathy I have shared energy with a friend who is a full blown empath, after the energy was shared the small part of empathy I had got larger. I started to feel different emotions in such a wave as people passed me by at work, tidal wave after tidal wave hurled emotions I don't usually use at me and Brandy thought it was strange.
We also share our own feelings with eachother, Brandy experinced my relaxed state and I experienced her anger spouts, which by the way made me a bit flighty.
I also use my epmathy for spirits who don't speak physically and do not talk with me Phsicacally through the mind. (( excuse my spelling please))

I love this subject. heart
My own personal theory is that Empathy is an ability all humans are born with a capacity towards. It is one of the few "psychic phenomena" that is generally accepted by the Psychologist community, although they call someone who has it (an empath), a "Highly Sensitive Person". It also seems part and par of the course for the Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator, if you are type INFJ. (Even though a lost of modern psychologists are iffy on Carl G. Jung to begin with).
Since I was born an empath, I have trouble distinguishing it sometimes. I had to learn to control it, because it was literally a life or death situation with me. Because of my empathy, I am able to feel what others feel--although this can get dangerous, so I generally try to cut myself off from those emotions. It gives me an additional bonus when it comes to helping others out, because I am truly able to speak with people as someone who knows what they are going through.
I have other psionic "gifts" besides Empathy, but all of mine sprout from this area. Some empaths can "read" people. Not just their emotions, but their core "energy signature", or "psychic fingerprint". Some consier this aura reading. It's like the core nature of a spirit. For instance, I can speak with someone, then all of the sudden I feel this energy. I'm bad at quantifying it, but I'm working on it. So I might tell the person: You reminds me of the colour green...you're very strong, yet naive and loving.
So, yeah. Great subject. I've done extensive research in this area if there are any questions. heart

Also can you read animal emotions? I get that sometimes with my cats, dogs, even random birds. o_o I got the feeling of being very hungery from a crow yesterday and I saw it sitting on a wooden pole eatting half a doghnut. XD Is that strange? o_O

XD Is that strange? o_O One word: Shielding. When you start feeling overwhelmed by your empathy, close your eyes and picture this white light surrounding you, starting at your feet, going up to your head, and engulfing you. Picture the emotions coming to you, and bouncing off of this light. Also, affirmations help: I will not be overwhelmed by other's emotions. It gets to the point where it'll happen naturally, but until then, keep at it. I don't feel animal's emotions so much as I just pick up on them. =3 Some animals must notice this. When I started college, I wouldn't speak. (doing better now). One day, I was sitting on a bench with a sandwich still in its bag beside me, and this grackle-bird was on the ground. It kept hopping closer and closer to me, looking right at me, and making noises at me. It then hopped up next to me and just stayed there. I remember a passing guy whispering to another guy: Hey, look at that bird and that girl! And the other guy told him: She just fed it. I was like...I most certainly did not! scream Animals are good empaths. They can read your energy. That's why they say animals can smell fear, and that's why some animals will approach certain people. 3nodding

There was a pair of Canadian Geese I used to sit with in the morning at college. At first they were reallt cautious of me but as time went by they enjoyed my company and I them.
I'm pretty quite in class as well, I think thats cause I can feel others emotions. I fear that I'll say somethin g stupid about the energy in the room or their aura or even the fact that I can feel emotions in the air at all. I mostly keep to myself irl but i do talk with my consoular she thinks its great. o_o
As for the sheild I'll try that out, I know I'll need to use it for work cause thats the place I feel emotions the most. They fly every which way. XD

I read somewere that animals when they feel that your in pain or scared they come near to you. Once my cat when i was sick my stomach hurted alot so i was lieing in bed. My cat came to me sit on my stomach and started to like dig in with his paws. That was such a great feeling seriously. When my cat was finished doing that the pain was gone. I was like wow and my cat just looked at me biggrin . So see animals can sense that something is wrong with you because they have better vision,stronger taste,smell stuff like that. 3nodding biggrin

He came dashing up the steps, and kept ramming his body at the door over and over and meowing his head off. He normally wants nothing to do with me. I don't get up...he opens the door himself! And comes and sits on my face. stare Ah, yes. Both of my cats can open doors, and they use it to their advantages. xd

Anyway - been an empath all my live and developed other abilities as well.
