I currently have the gifts of Precognition; Telepathy & Empathy and am a little frustrated. I've been dealing with my burgeoning Psychic ability since I was four(around about) so am quite comfortable with it. However my Telepathy was gained around 16/17 and Empathy a month later.
I'm unable to fully focus these gifts and what's worse I can not yet actively use them. Hearing voices off and on can be quite disconcerting, especially before I knew what was happening. Now that I know what it is it's not so scary and the same thing happend with the empathy.
I'm now 22 and i've been trying to gain a better understanding of them, however I don't know where to start, most sites don't hold the info i'm seeking. I would like any knowledge gleaned from others blessed with these particular gifts. Could someone please help me with my control issues?

Well, I am not exactly empathic, but I think I can help.
I am clairaudient (I hear things...), and I hear things at random. When I say random, I mean like "The Patriots will win by 7 points" or "He has done drugs in the past, and he is not to be trusted." I can understand about the voices, because I hear anything from peoples thoughts to commentary from the spirits (and they LOVE to talk when the time is wrong...).
My ability spans a bit farther than that, and this is where my problems arise; I naturally look deep into people. I am not talking about surface thoughts ect., I am talking seeing them as a whole being. Ergo, I see peoples emotions like words on a chalkboard, and social interaction is very difficult because of it. I myself don't feel their emotions, but I see them and I see how people cannot see them. When two people despise each other, but continue to talk and think within, "He just needs to shut the fuck up..." and such, you can't help but be nervous. You see how their emotions are very likely to surface, and you see the drama that will come with it. But there are ways to cope with it and filter it.
First of all, cut the people out of your life that are posionous to you. If an associate is a very saddened person, and you can't do anything for them, sometimes the best solution is to get away from them. Sometimes, it is helpful to actually work things out with people. No psionic sheild or construct will be enough to filter the thoughts and emotions of others; I recommend using them as suppliments to actual mental modification. If you feel the emotions of others instead of just seeing them, start making a definition between yourself and the emotions of others. You are not their thoughts, and you are not them. It takes time to get used to the idea of not helping everyone, but it just can't be done by one person.
Soon enough, everything will develop, and it will happen constantly. Not to sound dumb, but things come when you are ready for them; unless you have the mental capacity to handle constant bombardment by others thoughts and emotions, stick with what you have. If you want to focus it on one person or a certain area, try "looking into" it. I can't describe how, as it is a natural thing, but the five senses won't always do the trick; you are going to want to develop the others.
For now, I suggest you surround yourself with things that contain your gifts. Movies, TV shows, and books ect. seem to remind the mind that it can actually do those things, and oftentimes the gifts will surface that way. Also, if you think differently about people, you see different things. Look at them as only their surface, and that is what you will see. Believe in their essence, and all the fleeting emotions fade away. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. If you find that universal essence, it is like a skeleton key to the ability to see into people; really, in the core, we are all the same. If you can see the emotions of one person, you can see the emotions of anyone.
As for telepathy in particular, try learning to locate signatures. www.psipog.net can explain them to you, but telepathy is like phones; you have to know the number to make the call. You also need to learn to sever the link that makes you hear their thoughts, and psipog can teach you that.
Hope SOMETHING helps....
