When you say you're an empath, do you mean to claim that you have psychic powers? An empath is a being from science fiction with the psionic ability to sense emotions, like Counselor Troi on Star Trek. The term originates from the short story "Empath" by J. T. McIntosh, published in New Worlds Science Fiction #50, August 1956.
- dr_dshiv 4y agoYes, that is correct. I have psychic powers, specifically the psionic ability to sense emotions. AMA
- itsyaboi 4y agoWhen did you first become aware of your powers?
- dr_dshiv 4y agoIt has always seemed natural (to me) to be able to directly feel what other people are feeling. Most people can. Sometimes, however, it can feel shocking when I realize I’m talking to someone who doesn’t feel what I’m feeling. Or, that doesn’t feel that I’m feeling what they are feeling.
- slavik81 4y agoThanks for clarification! I was a bit unsure if that was what you intended. As you mentioned, writing and communicating effectively with people is very hard.
