It's so much easier in real life than over the computer. But being an empath is so much a part of me, I don't know how to act when I don't know what people are feeling. I'm very much a body-language kind of person, which I think has a lot to do with the empathy thing. I see the little things a person's body does and subconsiously register what it means and I know what they are feeling. Or something. If I don't make sense it's because I'm sick. *dies*
But yeah...body language. *staggers off*

Ooh yeah! I do that too! I was in a public bathroom in a shopping centre a while back, waiting for my mother and I was leaning against the wall, looking bored. And all these gossipy old women came in, like 20 of them and I started feeling really claustraphobic because I could feel everything they were feeling. I thought I was going to scream! But I didn't, I just got a headache.

*is sick too* feel better Hannah!
Anyway, I'm not sick enough to act drunk... but that's fun when it happens!
Erm... Ontopic= I watch people, constantly. Body language is a big part of being an empath me thinks. To be able to detirmine small motions, like a blink, an eye shift, a shift of weight and KNOW what it means... that's talent. *high fives others who have this talent*

*blink* Well, I can most definatly read body language VERY well,but it's not in a nera empathetic way. It's more of a scientific way. Is this wierd? Highschool is a social experiment to figure out how to act and how people work. Like when something happens,I try and predict how people will react to it, then test and see if it is how it works. Also, I try and figure out diffrent ways to manipulate people....wow....Now I feel mean. It's not my fault....I'm an Aquarian.....

Ha, I use that excuse all the time. Don't blame me for my weirdness - blame my star sign ;D Us Aquarians are known for being a bit... wacko o.O
Well, I'm relieved. I thought I just had an overactive imagination. I guess not, after all. I feel things about people, usually in colours, textures and shapes. By 'things' I mean something almost like an aura - it's like an energy that everyone gives out. (Sometimes it's like a basic structure of their personality and emotions, though I can only do that I know the person and they're in a state of mind that's static. Like watching TV, or asleep). Often, I have trouble staying around people I know well for extended periods of time because their 'energy' thingymabobs are very open to mine, and it makes me want to scream. Waaaay too uncomfortable >.<; I like my privacy.
I've never thought about whether it affects Nax or not. Now that I do, I think that it's part of us, but it's only me who can use it. Nax told me he wouldn't want to use it even if he could - he says that he's not interested in how other people are feeling. Just me, his human. I suppose that makes sense. It's not a talent, or anything. I'm just an observer. It's noticing things that are often missed out. Body language helps a lot. I'm not great at reading it yet, but I practice. Even if I'm not using the colour-sensing thing or anything psychic-esque, it's useful.
I believe the mind is a very powerful thing... there's a lot about ourselves that we don't know.... hmm. *is lost in thought*

It's that whole mind-over-matter thing. I'm a Taurus....so what does that say about me? Aren't Taureans supposed to be stable?!

Taureans are stubborn and sensual. The guy I like is very much a taurus on both parts. Makes for interesting conversations...

From what I've notcied, Taureans are stable and home-body,as well as earthy. The one's I know are also open to learning about enww ideas and ways of thought,but don't nessicarily accept them all. Also,they're artistic,one isa musician and the other an artist.
