I just discovered that I'm an empath. It is eye-opening, and gives me a great deal of insight into my strengths and glaring weaknesses....why I struggle to fit in and be normal, am shy though I don't want to be, and spend so much time separated from people, even though I love people and long to help the world.
I have a question for empaths:
How have you advanced your gift (sensitivity to other people) from a liability to an asset?
for non-empaths - what has been your impression of empaths? are we overly-sensitive assholes or confused soytards...? or gifted counselors?

Stop gaslighting him.
Schizophrenia is a made up diagnosis to discredit MK ultra and gangstalking victims.
This is how compromised psychiatry is. They gaslight the victims rather than believe and help them.

I don't know much about schizophrenia. but yes. its more like ability to read people. and if I know someone (family or close friend) you can feel how they're doing, through physical feeling or, what can feel like divine premonition from across the world. a quick phone call has confirmed this to me many times.
strangers in public often just start talking about all their problems to me. it used to stress me out but now I listen and read the person and can usually offer constructive help in a sentence or two, and thats usually all I say. happens a lot.
