I read about psychic abilities, and this one stood out for me the most. Only because I just realized that my old and dear friend who died many years ago, unexpectedly and suspiciously, was an Empath. He would always claim to know how people are feeling and thinking, not only me but people around us. I'm not sure if he told these things to anyone else.. but I really really liked him, and was heartbroken to hear he had died after moving away.
I was just wondering if you have to already have the psychic abilities to be able to develop them further? Or can you actually learn it through study and practice either by yourself or with a teacher?? Also, how would one go about finding their abilities, if any?

Empathy is something all humans have, or at least all humans who are not psychopaths. Some people are more sensitive to the feelings of others, and sometimes the cues you pick up you may not be conscious of. I think that contributes to this idea of it being a sort of psychic phenomenon, but really, it's something most people have to some degree. It's part of being human and being a social animal.

Ooo~ Thats good to hear. Haha.

My friend though was super sensitive I guess.. He was able to get brief pictures or phrases from a person head by touch. I was envious. He helped me a lot through tough times. <3 So kind and gentle. He always said I was a special person, but I think that was just cause he liked me. x//D Ah, high school~

EDIT// Also, whenever he touched any person with a lot of "activity" in their head, he ends up with a headache of varying levels depending on the "activity" level and emotion of the person(s).
