We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are
The beauty of being a clairsentient and empathic is that you feel other peoples energy. You can have an insight as to what drives or is driving their actions.When people approach you for a chat or to say hey,you sense the vibe of what is going on inside them at that point in time,whether the actions are from the heart or just ego driven and in-genuine.You sense the intentions behind peoples actions.The emotions and energy accompanying peoples behaviors and actions. They are all so apparent to you that sometimes you have no idea how to treat or respond to someone.The paradox is at times you may actually feel you are better off not knowing at all. Sometimes the truth can be such that we would rather not know.
Assuming you entered a car and the energy of the driver says he is not confident to steer does that not make you panic.
Working  in a field that means i meet with a lot of people and each comes with certain expectations.Some hold important positions in their work places,others just feel important .When you meet such people they expect that you shall treat them as they are treated in their workplaces at home or even by their friends.They are used to such treatment.When you treat them like you treat all other customers they expect more, sooner or later it may be interpreted as disrespect or they may feel you did not treat them right.Being a clairsentient means you can feel this energy of self importance emanating from such individuals .Others suffer low esteem and maybe intimidated by people with high energy.To some extent i believe people can sense your energy thou in a subtle level or soul level hence people in a soul level may recognize you can see through them and their reactions may be driven by fear.The do not know how else to act.

As individuals each of us has a dominant energy signature,that affects how we live and react.It forms a behavior pattern which most of us are blind to.Being clairsentient means i may have a deeper view of things that does not mean am different from other people.It does not mean i do not have preconditioned behavioral pattern it just means i see things as i am.

Authentic power
Assuming we see things as we are ,this also affects our authentic inner power.To be able to accept that we see things as we are to be aware that ,this could just be our view is a transforming and powerful thing.It allows us to be non judgmental. One beautiful thing about empathy is that it allows you to feel as other people feel.The pains, the joys, the sarcasm ,the power all these you get to feel as emanating from other beings.It makes you compassionate .At times i sense beautiful things from people which give me goosebumps,amazing things.I have a sense of what means the world to some people.Challenge yourself by once in a while trying to put yourself in the other person shoes.
