13. It's already suggested up thread that you could be empathic.

I feel that's probably what this is. I don't know that I believe empaths have a "sixth sense" in some unusual or far fetched way. I just believe that their talents are directed to sensing the "vibes" (if you will) of others, etc. Much as people are born with a great singing voice that most of us would have no way of duplicating, others may be born with other, different talents that the majority do not understand. When those talents are cultivated, they get better at something that the general populace.

It most definitely indicates that you care and understand the feelings of others. I think that makes for a good person. So, if *I* were you, I'd be proud of who I am and not worry about it.

Are you, by chance, an animal lover? I think most animal lovers are empaths. I will bawl my eyes out over a story of some four legged creature suffering, etc.
