Empath?

So apparently I am an empath. I have always been in tune with others and able to pick out how they are feeling and read the body language etc. But this is different. Sometimes I can actually feel what the other person is feeling. It doesn't happen with everyone. It's odd. It is intense. I first noticed it when a friend had a feeling of missing someone and I almost started to cry because I just automatically felt it. It was very weird.
It's such a new feeling. So very opposite from the way I used to be. I can specifically remember time periods in my life where I was not able to feel any emotions/feelings. Not even my own. I could not figure out how this happened or how to turn my emotions back on.
I think now that I am growing and progressing down my path, my senses have opened up more. This one seeming to open up more than the others so far.
It's something new to learn about and learn to use. I'll write more about it as I figure it out.

:) this entry makes me smile. I completely understand, as you know. I think the thing you'll start to notice next is that some of your emotions you THINK are yours.. aren't. That's how mine started, I could tell specific things, and then once I became aware I started recognizing a large number of emotions I weren't really my own. And the part about you being kind of emotionless a while ago actually makes more sense than you know. But we shall talk about all these things when you come visit me this weekend :)
