Are empaths in a way psychic?

Question

I just recently discovered that im an empath.

Answer 1

Yes in a way they are .a real psychic can read your aura .the way you pick up on peoples feelings and pain. until you learn to control it i would stay away from any one in great pain you wont hurt physically but you could get a depressed feeling or become tired.

Answer 2

"Psychic" is a really broad term.  It can apply to anything from carnival fortune tellers to 'finders'.

Empathy is a specific ability.  I wouldn't call it psychic because it has its own name.

Yes, in the same way that faeries are a kind of elf.

Answer 5

Psychic is a generic term that covers all paranormal forms that a human can exhibit. Empathy is just another form, like telekinesis or mind reading.
