I DO feel the emotions and the thoughts of others. Many, many times. I also do feel their thoughts too.
I would not say I have consistently learned to control that. However, there ARE things you can do to block out these feelings. I don't know if it is possible to completely turn it off. Perhaps someone with a strong will and enough time to practice various techniques.
Do the following: Grounding yourself, putting up "protection" around your aura, (like imagining yourself surrounded by white light), etc. You might also want to get some books on psychic protection.

I am an empath .Or empathetic human being.I believe
everyone has to be to a certain degree.Empathy is simply remorse,guilt,for something ,often you have nothing to do with
literly.It is really not a fair emotion or being for the beholder.
I was an epath to death actually.I still am" sensitive " thats what
I prefer regardless.. If people believe it after so long.
Emphathy is a "human" neccessity" basically..It is the pre requisite to sorrow and understandingEmpathetics are .People who know and have experienced the same feelings towards any other especially in social situations and at some level are .
Who accept you because they may"Know what your going through"
Most emphathetics have been there somehow where you are
but in intelligence and understanding and feel the same pain .
Which is why I rather have an empath for a friend "All
empaths who truly are make the best friends.For thei r
sensitivity ,understanding ect.

Empathy is an inborn characteristic of human beings. The dictionary defines empathy as the ability to identify and understand another person's feelings, situation or motivations. If you can identify and understand YOUR OWN feelings and motivations then you can learn to identify and understand another persons.
We are born with the ability to feel other people's emotions...this is how infants bond emotionally to their parents and form attachments. This is how we are able to learn a language.
We are always feeling each others feelings/emotions and we generally know what other people are thinking (that's the feeling you get when someone lies to you and you know they are lying), but most people don't realize that and so don't pay attention to it.
If you want to be more empathic (feel other people's feelings and know their thoughts), first make the intention to yourself. Then learn how to identify your own feelings. Once you're clear on yourself, begin to pay attention to others. Observe them, see if you can identify what they are feeling and then just ask them. Your awareness of their feelings and thoughts will increase and you will begin to trust your empathic abilities more.

You can't control it but you learn to work WITH it.You can learn to ground yourself through meditation and also learn to sheild yourself through meditation.
There are so many styles of meditation so look around on the internet and find one that best suits you.Its always good to try several styles before selecting THE style that will fit you.
Hope That Helps,

I dont know about empaths but I avoid highly emmotional situations. I went to a funeral yesterday and I was quite distressed so was my 6 year old son and I can only conclude he picked up on all the emmotion in the room.

I don't consider myself to be an empath. I do feel a lot of emotions more strongly in company or vicariously but I don't think this is a psychic or magical power.

Yes, and I have learned yo control it, its a wonderful thing to be able to understand those around you better then yourself, though strange.

I sometimes do. To control, you just say stop.

No, heavens' no, the very nature of it gravitates my soul toward my only true will, that is to say my fathers' will for me while my mother looks on with immense tears of sorrow: for the final act that save our torn souls. Yes, my dear, yours and mine.
