If you are not a skilled empath, or ultrasensitive, and you are really not "in tune" with YOUR feelings as opposed to others yet, there are a few telltale signs that can clue you into whether what you are feeling is YOU or someone else.
First: you would feel other people 10 times stronger than the person you are "picking up" who is actually feeling that particular emotion. For example, if someone around you is angry, YOU would pick it up as RAGE. If someone around you is feeling fearful, YOU would be picking it up as PANIC. To be honest, if we are NOT in tune with who we are and what our energy/feelings feel like, we do not usually feel things this strongly, although we may think we do. But we are so used to absorbing other people's energy around us, we really don't know who or what we are feeling. That is why this clue is helpful.
Also, if a feeling comes on us really out of the blue, quite suddenly, out of nowhere, it is usually someone else that we are picking up on. Say you are quite happy when you wake up in the morning and you go into work and as soon as you hit the building or go into a room where there are people and your mood changes suddenly, you KNOW that you are picking up on someone else (or many people). Crowds tend to be very difficult for empaths to be around - for many it is very difficult to function when they are in that situation.
Another way to know if you are picking up on someone you are strongly connected to (even those who live with you) is to get up in the middle of the night when they are sleeping and see if you feel better. Empaths sometimes feel more like themselves in the middle of the night than any other time because the rest of the world (or at least the time zone they are in!) is sleeping.
Watch for these signs! More to follow...:-)
