grimaces It isn't. Trust me, it isn't. As for how I know... I am one. ._. Gods, to be one is essentially to subject yourself to one of two fates for those who have it... Death by suicide because they cannot learn how to shield themselves or are simply unable to shield themselves for one reason or another. Or to learn to shield oneself, but to learn the misery of being one, and knowing that... if you're lucky, you might be able to find one who makes you feel soothed. I have found my significant other, or so I'd like to think. She makes me feel much more at ease. My mind and emotions aren't as chaotic. The voices and the chaos of emotions that I can sense and sort of hear, slow and quieten. Things aren't as important... and I can at last relax and think clearly. Then, for a time, I'll have peace before I need to plunge back into the world of so much destruction. ... I don't know if she comes here, as I haven't asked her if she does... but just in case: I am ever so grateful and happy, and for what you have given to me so far... is love. And I love you in return. <3 Edit: Also, for those of you who wonder why I sound poetic just now... that's because I AM a poet. And a writer. >_> I'm assuming this is a bit of fictional creative writing. If it isn't, dude, it's called Prozac. It's not. And no, I'm not taking prozac. No way. I should've probably clarified that no, it's not fictional. But meh.

Being serious, I can totally see how someone could delude themselves into believing they had actual telepathic empathy. It's the one form of "psychic power" that is so abstract that it can't be disproved if the deluded person really, really wants to believe it. "Oh, that person is feeling sad! Holy shit! I'm sad, too! I'm empathic!!!" When it comes to things like psychic powers, I personally take the "prove it" approach. So far, I've never seen any proof. (Which of course does not mean such things do not exist, merely that I have never seen proof. Not seeing any now, either.)

As Sigmaleph. Most interested in passive telepathy/empathy. I dont see empathy on Signa's list, which is probably a good thing. Feeling others' pain is NOT my idea of a good time. Beware, the following is extremely nerdy: I was basing myself on the Whateleyverse powers classification system, where empathy is considered as a subset of either ESP or telepathy. In any case, it's within the "psychic" family, and one theoretically possible power for package deal psychics. Why would anyone want it, though... sure, there are applications, but it's the kind of superpower that comes with built-in kryptonite. As for people actually having telepathic empathy in the real world, um, no. I'll just assume Keiro meant he's a typical human who's very good at reading emotions and whose natural tendency to share other's emotions is higher than usual, until such point he actually says he believes he has supernatural powers.

Flying or pyrokenesis. Yes I am a pyro. EDIT: Fuck! I just realized I made myself sound like the Human Torch...

You know, the power to give other people super powers at will would have ENDLESS entertainment potential....

Portal creation, probably. Instantaneous access to resources like asteroids, or gas planets, or being able to build a moonbase for next to nothing.. Of course, all that depends on any distance restrictions..

How about giving them super-senses in the men's room....? Or the ability to stretch body parts when they are in the middle of some nookie....? Or X-ray vision while walking past the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant....?

I'd like the ability to freeze time, please! Portal creation, probably. Instantaneous access to resources like asteroids, or gas planets, or being able to build a moonbase for next to nothing.. Of course, all that depends on any distance restrictions.. The two of you are close to what I want. I want the ability to use any doorway or archway as a portal to anywhere on earth (think Stargate) and I want the ability to control time at will.

I just thought of another one to add to my list of flying and pyrokenisis.
Mind control. Just imagine the possibilities when being used on fundies.
