From my Pamphlet I Will Eventually Make Into A Magazine

Empathy – Empathy is the ability to feel and absorb other people’s emotions. Empaths take on the feelings of others, while also being very good at reading what a person needs. Empaths often cannot watch somebody suffer for very long without feeling the need to help them, which may seem annoying to those who do not expect help or that someone understands their problem or emotion so deeply. Empaths feel other people’s pain as if it is their own. Sometimes this pain takes the form of energy transference and the empath is carrying around someone else’s pain with no known physical cause in that person’s body. An empath is a type of psychic who can totally tell when someone else is lying. That is easy, and it gets ridiculous since average humans lay a lot to save face while an empath does not feel the need to lie as savagely as an ordinary human.
