Well its the distinction between the two that really bothers me. I consider myself an empathic person. If I observe a social situation for a minute or so, I've got pretty good beat on how everyone is feeling. If it is a situation with closer friends, I can usually predict their next move. But nobody speaks to me... mentally, or a manner that I think of as telepathic.

***What you discribe above is part of being a feeling human, part of observance and very normal. I think, unless you are a man, it is all but a given. OH! Did I say that out loud???!!!
LOL - Honestly though, women are naturaly more sensative to those things.
I've never met anyone who can show me the slightest hint of anything paranormal when asked (apologies if ESP'ers find 'paranormal' offensive).
