text: do you know an empath? have you ever met someone who can feel the emotions (even the unexpressed ones) of others?  it does not matter if they read body language, facial expressions or have some psi power.  is this real? yes i do know an empath. my mother. she has always been an empath. she tells me that sometimes the emotions of other people consume her and she can't take it anymore. for example like at big parties or when she is in big crowds.
