Emotional Control

[psychicgaza]

Hi i was just wondering if its considered wrong to use empathy to change peoples emotions when they are feeling realy sad or depressed etc. ?

please reply with any answers you have! Thanks!

well I would first use your own non psi ability to cheer them up. Then use psi if nothing is working.

I agree with JediKaren, use your own abilityes to cheer them up beacose when you interfere with someones emotions it can be dangerous. When you're not influencing empathical on them anymore the effect wil distort and they would be sad, depressed again and it is possible that they can feel guilt beacose of that. I did this on my friend (he broke up with his girlfriend) and after i stopped he felt guilt beacose there was no logical reason for being happy. He was thinking that it could be his fault that she left him beacose he didn't care enough, that he is screwed up, that he is loosing his mind (being happy with no reason at all and then depressed again!? what's happening!?) etc.
-It can screw up a person if not done properly, and lead in greater depression.
-You can use both your own, non psi abilty and emphaty to bost that feeling. It has much stronger effect.

I don't like interfering with other people's emotions. It depends upon the situation. You have to do what you believe is most ethical. I think that it should only be when they are extremely upset and a danger to themselves, like the might try suicide or cutting themselves or some such. I think it would be okay if someone is angry to just send 'calming' or 'soothing' waves, but not to really touch their emotional self.

Above all, be very very careful. This is basicly invading a special part of the self. I would be very careful and never use it for personal gain. I think it's best to leave someone's emotions to themselves. If a person is talking about suicide go see an adult about it.
