Nah, but then, I am a bit Aspergers, so I wouldn't, would I.
I also think that you can pick up on someone's mood because they want to tell you, and do so, and they display it through physiological cues and expressions.
My husband is an aspie and because I'm in tune i often know what he's thinking before he opens his mouth.
I think he has difficulties in this area with most people but he's learning to pick up my cues. Even aspies have the skills but its often harder for them to develop because of how their minds work.
Maybe they don't have a box for what they sense so it gets lost.

Personally, I can't 'read' the emotions of others but I can guess. That doesn't mean that I think telepathic and empathic communication does not exist.
In my youth, several times I 'heard' my mother (in words) when she had only thought to call me. Similarly, I have noted that I 'sync' with close friends, and very frequently we say the same words at the same time. This has not always been cliche phrases but is more because we are thinking along the same lines and express it the same way.

My husband has similar abilities. Sometimes he'll be at the store and will pick up something that i was thinking about but never got around to asking for.
I always point it out when it happens which surprises him.

Perhaps Aspies, in their 'dry and empty desert' of sensed emotion, have taught themselves to be inferentially astute? 'Telepathically' sensitive.

i find a curse to read people.. so many selfish lies and so much deceit. but i always have, and my efforts to block it, are slowly killing me... crowds drown me in a hundred separate worlds, overwhelming me, but when i can sense someone close to me being dishonest and i unravel their web of lies, it destroys me.. so slainte, bottoms up.
whatever this is, intuition, being an empath, whatever, it is a curse that has always been true.

Do any of you believe in vibes, auras, or otherwise the ability to sense the intentions and emotions of another person?
I've come to believe in it more and more as I've looked into it, as I've thought about it.
Looking up information about the hearts electro-magnetic field, for instance, and knowing that studies show that when two people interact, their heart and brain waves sync up in some matter... It's profound. To think that we can be connected and sense each other in an entirely different fashion, and that some science even backs this up to a degree.
What do you think?
Do you believe we have this sixth sense?

It certainly wouldn't surprise me. I've told my husband on more than one occasion that i think i'm an aspie. I have a lot of the characteristics but i'm a lot more in tune than most.
I was abused at home so perhaps my senses are more acute because of it.
