Answer 1

You may be empathic. In electricity, there is a component known as the transformer. Electricity is altered by passing it through a series of looped wires that do not actually touch each other. If it is conceivable that electricity can be affected this way, then it is logical to assume that electrical waves can be passed from person to person as well. This is just theory of course, but if it is real to you, and you are able to depend on it, then you should investigate the veracity of it for yourself. Bats use sonar to navigate through the night skies, your ability may be a similar type of ability. I am deliberately trying to avoid any spiritual or religious label out of respect for everyone's personal belief system. There are many scientific studies of this phenomenon, and it is linked to telepathy.

If you happen to have watched Start Trek, the Next Generation, Counselor Troi played by Marina Sirtis, was supposed to have this ability. I deliberately chose a character out of fiction because hers was carefully researched and it also avoids any additional labeling that a real person might carry along with them. It is important to understand this ability. With the proper self control it can be a real blessing for you and others. Without understanding, it can be a curse that affects your own mood without warning and alters your perceptions without your control or knowledge.

Hi there - It's not really a power - it's a gift - like drawing, or languages, or cooking - you are an empath.
The key, like you asked - is in controlling it. These won't be the only emotions you feel, but while you are learning about this gift, it can be confusing. I know I have times where I still can't distinguish between what I am feeling and what is coming from another - but it is rarer. I take time by myself, away from people. Water is good in showering, washing your hands, drinking - it helps release the stuff that isn't yours.
Your gift can make you a good listener and a good friend. Be careful of energy vampires - they are drawn to empaths - but it's not all that hard to block them out. Have favorite songs or phrases - repeating them in your head if you are in a situation where you don't want to feel what the other is - and it helps block. Practice relaxation and visualization skills to block. Stay away from large crowds (I still have a hard time in malls during the holidays!) all those emotions can be anxiety producing.
Okay - I know I'm sounding a little out there - but I believe this stuff.

Answer 3

You were chosen by God to have this gift; this is a power that God has given certain people like an energy and an aura around you. I agree with the first two answers that you have a high emotional intelligence, you're incredibly intuitive, and emotionally empathic. My husband is able to feel people's feelings and thoughts by just standing next to them. When people have this energy I think that subconsciously they want to call attention to it because when my husband is on the way to the store, he wants to feel the neighborhood. I think you want to feel your environment and those around you but if you don't want to than don't think about it - not even a little because you will feel what other people are feeling. The way to control this is to not think about it. Everybody has some sort of power but only they know what it is; I have this energy sometimes but not all the time because I'm more of a psychic or an oracle. God gave you this to help people through what they're feeling but you have to want this power to pursue it and remember not to abuse it because God gave it to you because he knew you'd know what to do with it.

Answer 4

You have a high emotional intelligence, are incredibly intuitive and empathetic. I'm like this too - maybe not to the extent of the physical hurt (though, sometimes I get sympathy pains). I like to think of it as a gift because it will allow you to reach out to others and act as a force of light in their world. Unfortunately, it is sometimes incredibly draining for you because you feel so much. If you are just as aware of yourself as you are with others, I'm sure you will be fine.

Some people are not that equipped with dealing with their own emotions and layers of the human psyche. Maybe you have been chosen to help these people not only make sense of things but also be a source of comfort, inspiration and connection. It only adds to your understanding of humanity. Think of it as a gift. Through helping and understanding others, you will add more depth and compassion to the world. We need more of that!

Answer 5

You are a very empathetic person and therefore you feel deeper and sense other peoples pain as well. My wife is a lot like that. It seems that she takes on other peoples emotions sometimes and really feels their despair and hurt. I think it is a gift that you can surely use to help others. There are so few compassionate, empathetic people in this world now. Everyone seems too busy to take notice of what others are going through. Consider it a God given gift and use it wisely.
