As for your first question:

1) "Sensing" the emotions of other people is not restricted to psychic/psionic ability. If you _don't_ pick up on the jist of what other people are feeling, at least occasionally, you're likely to be a sociopath ("path" in this case referring to "sick" rather than "feeling"). So, you do not give enough data in your note for us to say whether you are empathic in the "psionic" sense of the word.

2) It is possible to be born with psionic talent, to parents lacking such abilities, in theory. In practice, the question is more complicated than that. One of the complications is that there is considerable disagreement over how much psionic ability needs to present in a person before that person is considered "Gifted"/natural/(insert semi-derogatory term of choice here). A goodly number of supposedly not-psionic people have had evidence of some small degree of psionic activity.

Concerning your second question, the simplest answer is to do as other folks do who wish to acquire or re-acquire a skill: practice.

As a general rule, we choose not to read the minds of querants in the chatroom or in here, in the Q&A section. Please be more specific in your query. For example, a good place to start would be to indicate what Gift you have, and with what difficulty it is presenting you.

Try a Shield. Shields are good things. Program it to keep unintended Sendings of emotion and thoughts inside. Simple, ne?

Clairvoyance does indeed have a nast habit of showing up unannounced and undesired. Working on it can bring it under some semblance of conscious control.

The common claim that psi cannot be done without pure and selfless intent is total horse-pucky. Completely false. The idea that you cannot harbour ill/evil/harmful/malicious thoughts is equally nonsensical. It is bandied about by the White Lights and Fluffy Bunnies crowd, though. They might have any number of reasons for such a bogus claim. Such reasons include:
1) an easy excuse if their methods fail to produce results
2) convincing people that "evil" folk have no power in the world
3) bolstering their philosophical beliefs about balance and justice

Feeling like you're reliving an experience like that is often a case of deja vu. One of the common explanations for the psychic version of this is the simple expedient of half-forgetting a precognitive dream, then being startled when the scene unfolds in real life.

The cats crossing the road at night probably indicates the cats' desire to be on the other side of the street, perhaps in search of mice, or feline companionship. Black is one of the more common coat colours.

"Negative energy"? Interesting concept...Energy is the capacity to do work. *shrugs* Making lights blink or fade is fairly common with minor pk, intentional or otherwise.

Headaches, stomach aches, blurred vision, losing vision (everything gets all splotched black), confusion...

I'm sure it gets worse if you overload for a longer period of time. I've been overloaded for about... 12 seconds... and felt the above. I haven't had any desire to figure out what comes after that... probably passing out.

Read those and then tell me what you don't understand.

Dear Kayne,
I first recommend you see a doctor. Depression and severe mood swings are really nothing to play around with. And to answer your question, yes it is possible. Whether it's probable, likely, or true is in the air. Try shielding, if that doesn't work, perhaps that's not the problem. Process of elimination. Again though I'd like to reiterate that depression and severe mood swings are SERIOUS conditions that are not to be reckoned with.

"Psychometry" is usually regarded as a perceptive, rather than affective ability.

However, you can imprint living things psionically. Likewise, you can put psi-stuff in an object for later use.
