Detecting other people's feelings?

Question

Sometimes I am able to sense other's people's feelings towards me. What is this called?

Answer 1

Empathy is one of the most common ability. This ability allows you to feel the emotions of other people. You will find yourself concern for others, you may sometimes sense when something is wrong. Lots of time you’ll feel anger, depression, anxiety, and have no apparent reason for feeling that way. You may be in a store, walking down a crowded street when you feel emotionally engulfed. These emotions you are receiving from the people around you. Then there is the good point; you can pick up other people’s happiness and up beat mood.

There are a lot of theories floating around out there how and where and why. It is said that our bodies are like one big satellite dish. We are constantly receiving psychic information. That is why you can feel someone sneaking up on you or the feeling you are being watched. It is said that the empathic picks up the emotions from the top of the diaphragm to just below the navel, what we call our solar plexus.

The metaphysics of eastern beliefs believe the solar plexus is the energy center, which is closely linked with the emotions and creativity, where both spiritual and physical worlds join.  Little wonder why some say that is why most people have health problems in this area.

Being an empathic can be very rewarding, you will learn to trust your feelings. You will sense if a project or journey you are about to venture on is good for you. When you meet new people your instinct will let you know if you should be weary of them and stay away, or become good friends. It will let you know if the environment is safe.

A person who is sensitive to others is very sensitive themselves. Words and actions can cut to their heart. They hurt so easily. They usually are moody and can seem aloof. I find a lot of empathic people love to be around children. Children’s love of life, play and laughter keeps them on an up beat. If your day is hectic and tense they will pick up on that vibration and feel you are upset with them, let them know that is not the case and the true reason you are upset. If an empathic wants to give you a hug (they make the best huggers) accept it, their hugs are full of loving & healing energy. They are the best caregivers. If you have a problem and need help, you will find an empathic will be the first one there to help you. Giving them the feeling that they are truly needed is the best gift an empathic can receive.

i don't now how it is called but sometimes happens sometimes often then other times Ex:me and my friend we can now what the other  things and sometimes we say the same thing in the same moment

Answer 3

I call it simply being human. People can communicate in many non-verbal ways -- the expression of the face, even something as insignificant as a raised eyebrow, can give much away. Their posture, the way they walk, their eyes, etc., all can communicate a lot. I have a hunch that you're just picking up visual cues.  But anyhow, people who think there is something paranormal going on call this being "empathic".

Answer 4

This is called being an empath. Most people are, and just do not realize it. One senses things, picks up on the subtleties of their behaviors. I also believe it is picked up upon by the sixth sense.  You should ground and protect each day plus release any residual pain or feelings that are not your own. In fact, you can release your own as well... meditation is a wonderful tool for this.

Answer 5

an impath or empath not sure which its spelled

Answer 6

I really don't know..but I know I used to "pick up" on other people's feelings etc. that I'd almost be "cloned" to them...It was almost like I was imitating them..but I didn't mean to..seems like it wasn't me doing it. But it was fascinating..so I let it happen..to my regret!

Edit..T.R...I think he means something MORE than just being able to tell by their actions and looks etc.

People used to do this with me..I'd be "normal" and they'd say they were sensing something wrong..through my vibes or something..and they were right. (I know you'll say they were just guessing..or that something was "always" wrong..)

Answer 7

This is something any mentally healthy person can do. I don't think there is a name for specifically detecting how someone feels about you, but empathy is the word for detecting someones emotions in general.

Answer 8

Being awake.
