First off let me start off with a few vocabulary words [not many people seem to know these words]. An Empath is a person who can feel another person’s emotions, they have the ability of actually being in the other person’s shoes, at times the other person may not have fully expressed these emotions but the person can still feel them, it is sort of like a connection with people, that allows you to feel what they are feeling. Clairsentience means “clear sensing” to possess clairsentience means the person can sense what is going to happen or what may have already happened in a given environment.
I happen to have both of these. Being an Empath is hard enough but to have clairsentience as well is tough. I know what you are thinking being able to sense what is going to happen should be a good thing right? Well that is not always the case, knowing things before the happen sometimes cause problems but I will get into that a bit later.
The upside of being me being an Empath is that because of the fact that I can feel a person’s emotions, I have been better able to help them get through it and offer advice as to what to do. It has also drawn people to me because they feel secure telling me things they otherwise would not wish to share. The bad thing is that sometimes I get overwhelmed by emotions that are not my own, not only that I rarely take care of my own needs because I am either to busy taken care of someone else or I think someone else needs my help more than I do, I always put someone else’s needs before mine. Understandably I don’t have many problems of my own but when I do they are quite hard to figure out what to do because it involves another person. I can feel that other persons emotions making it hard for me to do the right thing.
For example, I have this “friend” who people tell me to let go and stop trying to keep her my friend because she isn’t a very good one, but I can’t because I know what she is going through I feel it all and I can’t let her go just because she needs me and asks so much of me while she does nothing in return when I need her. People don’t seem to realize that I can’t decide to stop being her friend because it’s to hard for me to let go of someone, I have too much of a connection with people to do such a thing.
Clairsentience is good because I can better prepare myself for what is yet to come, I can start getting ready, preparing myself emotionally when something is about to happen. This is another good thing for when I am helping people is my passion, my drive. The bad thing is people rarely listen because they don’t want it to be true so when it happens I’m left looking snobby because I was right, or sometimes it is something they feel I am just saying and they take it offensively, which just causes problems.
I appreciate the gifts I have been given, it helps me better understand people, it has given me wisdom well beyond my years [did I mention I am only about to turn 17 in August, and yet I am quite profound in my way of thinking and very mature] but sometimes I feel it is a curse because whenever am I supposed to care for myself, or who is supposed to care for me [nobody seems to want to care especially since even though they do me wrong they know I won’t stop helping and loving them],
