    Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

    Sounds like a medium like Whoopi Goldberg in the movie "Ghost".

    An Empath


    Your first thought was correct

    I dont know the name for this but it sounds to me like they are 1 caring person. I have the same type of thing, only mine is with emotional pain. If my mum or my son has some type of upset, i feel like my own heart is being ripped to pieces. Sorry i couldnt be of more help to you

    A sympathizer. 


     

    you call him empathetic . He feels your pain. He's able to put himself in your shoes

    probably mentally ill...as that really stretches any understandable logic, imagining seeing someone say they physically feel another person's pain...almost akin to being psychosomatic. I apologize for being so skeptical regarding that, but that's a concept that is really out there, and ripe for charlatans to manipulate and abuse at somebody' elses expense. A lot like what you might find in some of these so-called "mediums."

    You think them   Tea Party  people  have  any  empathetic  feeling  for us   commoners. LMAO
