I read somewhere that empaths, feel paranoid alot of the time, is that true?
And also, i was reading the topics, and related to what people were saying, because i cry for no reason, i hve done for 7 years, since primary school since we watched a movie and i cryed but i wasnt really sad...
and also people always come to me for advise, and most of the time they ask me about topics that I have no idea about but yet I can make them feel better about themselves, Is this empathy?

it sounds like yes that is empathy. Empaths feel the emotions of others around them which can make them seem paranoid, but usually they aren't.
Empaths often suffer from something called overload which is where you feel too many emotions around you and you get swamped. So if a friend is crying next to you, you may feel the need to cry, if not you haven't started crying.
Empaths can also be easily tiggered to feel certain emotion. If you watch a movie that has a part that you really understand you're going to link to it much more than a normal person. There have been so many movies that have brought tears in my eyes when no one else is feeling sad.
Empaths are good listeners and naturally attrack people and get them to talk without doing anything. This can get tiring and boring for some empaths. People are attracted because an empath gives out this feeling of openness and understanding.

Yes.
Empathy: read the article. Practice the skills.
Precognition: not really. Try predicting small stuff like the weather or what people will do or say.

Yes. Be aware of your emotions. Try to decide if they make sense. If they don't, look around you to see who might be feeling this.

a good way to practice is doing it via msn.
sit down and get fiarly relaxed and try have some lvl of focus.
first concentrate on how 'you' feel, its important that you do so. this helps you determine if your feeling someone elses emotions or yours.
so once you have done this, look for someone who is online and open up the chat applet. close your eyes and try and link with the person. It is posible to link to someone just thought there nick name so if you dont know there real name just use that. try and feel out the person take note of how this person feels.
I find if you just use your gut feeling or your intition to take a guess at how they are feeling once you have connceted to them and are feeling there emotions.
Its important to practice this with many people, it helps you determine what emotions feel like and how to tell them apart. Once you get good at it, you can really freak people out!
make sure you say hi to that person and tell them how they are feeling to you. see if you get it right or close. again practice, and make sure the person or people you are practicing on arent going to think your a freak or a looney when you tell them how they are feeling and get it right..
im on sometimes and if im not tired i dont mind helping people out. my address is danile_t@hotmail.com feel free to add me ^_^

i think im emathetic because i can usually feel what some1 feels like and tell how they are feeling just by the tone of their voice. One thing that leds me to belive this is I was at a friends house and someone else that was there got really hyper and then i did to that went on for a few minuts then i stood next to my friend and was like instantly calm just like my firend. Also i can usually find out things that are going on around me without even hearing about them.
p.s i also randomly cry during movies.

yeah I easy can cry at sad movies and stuff. It's really embarressing when no one else is and I'm fighting tears and can't look at anyone.
