I have heard of empaths and I believe that I may be one to some extent, as I can sense other's emotions, but I'm beginning to think that it is only to aid another talent which is sort of the opposite. I think I may be able to influence the emotions of others, even when I show no outward sign of what I'm feeling. For example, if I feel really, really embarrassed in class, my classmates start to get fidgety and uncomfortable. It has to be a strong emotion, but I'm pretty sure it's actually happening. Any thoughts, and is there a name for this? I was thinking 'emote'.
