Something happened to me several months ago and just remembered to ask about it.
Ok, I had just come home from a dance recital and went to my room to play my Xbox 360. My brother and cousin were sitting in the living room next door. I had only been home for a bout 20 minutes and all of a sudden my throat started hurting a bit. It felt faintly sore and I didn't know why. Any other person would have written it off as the beginning to a sore throat but I thought the way a Psion would.
The night before I had looked up any article on Empathy and what effects were common to said ability. One thing that was mentioned was that a empath could feel not only emotions of those around them but other physical ailments as well. I sat in my room asking myself whether or not I would ask either of the two in the living room if their throats were sore. I didn't want to be looked at as a weirdo but then something in my mind told me "You've been called weird all your life, what would make this any different? Accept it."
As I came out of the room, my cousin passed by. I asked him whether or not his throat was sore and to my surprise...it was! He claimed it had been hurting prior to me coming home. He asked why and I said "Not long after I came home, my throat started to hurt too." He looked confused and shrugged it off while I thought about what this meant.
The night he left, so did my sore throat.
Was this happenstance or Empathy at work?
