[QUOTE=DianasClan;1005054]Some ppl would consider me freakish I guess. My gift is I can read tarot cards with prety good acuracy. But I am also what you would call an empath. I feel the emotions that others are feeling. This can be quite a problem as I work at an airport and constantly have to have "walls" up. But when I come in physical contact with someone the "walls" dont always work. One time a lady came in and I had to pat her down. She had seen some horrible things while in Europe and was very sad. When I touched her I was overcome by her saddness and had to go on a break to deal with the images and feelings I had. It was horrible and the memories stays with me some 4 years later. I mostly pick up on feeings of saddness but occasionally I have picked up on happiness. One time I knew about a persons death. I freaked a girl at school out when I asked her who died. She looked at me broke into tears and said a friend had died. So yeah I am a freak and I am also hypervigulant. I never know when someones emotions will over come me.

No, never a freak! That's what outsiders think, even some in the mental health field. Yeah, I agree that sometimes things feel freaky, but that is very different from acepting that as a label. But even saying that, I feel it too, lots of times. I think it is because of the isolation we are forced into. There are so many more of us around than they used to believe, but how do we find each other? Put an ad in the paper? Not safe! I wish i new two things:
when I'm feeling someone else's emotions as opposed to my own
how to put walss around me because i really suck at that - I don't think i have any skin at all!
So if you can help with that, I'd be grateful, but i suppose it's something you just learn to do over time. Thanks so much for sharing with me!
