Anybody can learn to read people, I'll be impressed when you can read past emotions and feelings from the place where they occurred. If you can you might be able to make some money from some scientists, assuming they don't cheat you out of it.
Ever walk into a house or a room and get a strange feeling? Could be something, could be nothing.

While this method works for you, i have actually developed a method for turning down the emotion knob on myself to where it doesn't effect me so much. My ability is so intense that I cannot just turn it off. And the only drawback is I come off like a cold no feeling a**hole to others when I do this in public.

I have a Third Job where I have used a technique that has been long taught way before the movie came out.
INCEPTION. It is not like anything you would have seen in the movie but rather the PLANTING of a Concept or Idea in a persons mind through association of many things both spoken and unspoken.
The target individuals Conscious Mind will not pick up on it if a person is good at this but that persons Subconscious Mind WILL. It will grow like a seed planted and the water and soil are provided by the other persons ability to read and know EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY OR NOT TO SAY...as well as when and to be able to do this to an extent where the Target Individual feels that what I am trying to achieve is THEIR OWN IDEA...I must use other instances and circumstances that randomly occur instantaneously in a manner that is so quick and leaves no possibility in the Target Individuals mind that it could have be prearranged...that it actually ENFORCES this concept or idea to a point that they would FIGHT against anyone offering another concept or idea.
This can be done even with the most Brilliant of People as they tend to have EGO'S that will not allow them to believe that they are being manipulated or that a person of their Mental Capacities could possibly be PUSHED without the slightest clue that this is happening.
Once the Inception of a concept or idea has grown to this level as a False Realization within that persons mind...even if told it is happening...they will hold on even tighter and it will be so ingrained into their own psyche that NOTHING will be able to remove it.
I know this sounds bad...but I have rules that I abide by and Inception can be accomplished upon even an Enemy as they also have Ego's that will not allow themselves to realize that it is happening to them. Thus it has it's UP SIDE in that Violence can be averted by implanting a thought. I will not do this to create Violent action.

arent you guys just kidding yourselves? so you can relate to how someone is feeling, great! youre a nice person.
why stick a silly label on yourself?
i can read peoples emotions and have empathy, am i an 'empath'? no, of coarse not.
its just the latest fad for gullible kids on the internet, like indigo children and star seeds.
its a bit embarrassing dont you think?

Unfortunately, at some point I started to think that my own emotion was worthless anyway... that my emotions didn't matter in the scheme of things, because I have always (since about age 3) been in charge of keeping other people calm and caring for other people. I just got the idea that nothing I want or need actually matters in the course of my life, that everything about my life is for the benefit of other people... so I just kept them off because that realization hurt me greatly. My pain, in turn, affected other people, and then they would come to me to ease their pain (which was caused by my pain), and then my pain became invisible. Eventually, I forgot how to feel anything. I stayed that way for seven years because I felt hopeless in that infinite loop.

Reading this resonated strongly with me. Especially your point about about your pain effecting other people, causing them to come to you to ease their pain, thus crushing all of your own emotions away. Sometimes when I read posts like this I feel like I am reading a reflection of my own.

One thing I noticed, especially upon reviewing my past, is that quite often the people who where drawn to me where unable to distinguish what was drawing them to me, mistaking it for love when really it was most likely an addiction to the way I enabled them to feel after they opened themselves to me. Does that happen to any other empath's?
I still find it uncomfortable when complete strangers feel compelled to open up to me on levels they claim they do not open to others. But unfortunately I am unable to confront them, let them know how uncomfortable it makes me, because I fear that their negative response will overwhelm me. I try to avoid conflict at all costs. Even on the internet, I do not like to argue, because I often sense the actual intention or anger behind the words of those who argue with me. It can become too draining.edit on 3/9/2012 by TheSparrowSings because: (no reason given)
