Top 16 signs you have telepathic abilities

Telepathy is fascinating, but sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you actually possess telepathic abilities or are just imagining it.

Luckily, there are 17 clear signs that indicate that you do, in fact, possess the ability of telepathy!

Are you ready to find out the truth?

1) You feel physical sensations in your third eye

Many people who experience telepathy report feeling physical sensations in their third eye.

If this sounds like you, you’ve likely encountered a more common phenomenon known as the “sixth sense.”

This sensation is a telltale sign that you have an unusual sensitivity and awareness of those around you.

This can be very useful in some cases and might help you in uncommon situations in your life!

What does the third eye have to do with that?

Well, the third eye is your center of intuition, which is a sense of knowing.

It’s your “sixth sense” that tells you about the people around you, including their innermost thoughts and feelings.

When you feel your third eye a lot, even physically, it indicates that there is a lot of activity going on there.

Perhaps it will feel like tingling, a slight pressure or warmth.

Your third eye is what essentially allows you to have telepathic abilities, so it’s no wonder that this chakra will feel a lot stronger and fuller when you’re experiencing them.

2) You can see auras

Auras are the colors that surround people and objects, though they are also known as light bodies.

This means that if you see auras around people, it’s likely because you’ve developed the ability to see them.

This is another sign that your telepathic abilities are strong enough to manifest themselves in your everyday life!

People who have experienced this phenomenon say they can literally see the colors around other people and objects.

The colors surrounding people or objects will change based on their mood or emotion, so if you notice this happening around someone, it might be because they’re feeling something!

Not every person with telepathic abilities is able to see auras like that, but every person who sees them has telepathic abilities.

You see, these auras really help you with reading people, as well!

3) You are extremely empathetic

If you feel the same emotions and pain that others feel, then it’s likely that your empathy is a form of telepathy.

You may also be able to sense the feelings of those around you, but they might not be thoughts or words.

It can be a gut instinct that something is going on with someone else and feeling their emotions even when they are not in the room.

You see, people who have these abilities are often very intuitive and can feel what others are feeling.

They can read people very well and might even be able to heal them with their own energy!

You sense other people’s emotions quite easily…and it’s pretty easy for others to sense yours too.

This is another sign that you have telepathic abilities. This ability allows you to feel the emotions of those around you very well.

In my own experience, being an empath is anything but easy. I’ve had to work very hard at learning how to control my emotions and not let them control me.

The most important skill as an empath is to not let other people’s emotions consume you and carry them with you throughout the day.

I’m still learning, but I’m getting better every day!

If you are anything like me, you know what that feels like, and it’s important that you protect your energy.

You can’t be there for people if you are exhausted, drained, or overwhelmed by other people’s emotions.

If you feel like you’re being pulled in too many directions and it’s all just too much, that means that you need to set stronger boundaries around your energy.

4) You always know exactly what someone is thinking

ability2 Top 16 signs you have telepathic abilities

Telepathy is the ability to read another person’s mind.

And if you have this power, you will always know exactly what someone else is thinking.

This can be a frustrating experience for some people, but it’s also a great advantage when given to the right person.

You’ll never have to worry about misunderstanding someone or being misunderstood yourself.

Have you noticed that you always know exactly what someone else is thinking right before they say it out loud?

Perhaps you never clearly hear thoughts yet, you just have a sense of knowing or deja-vu when they say something.

This is a huge sign that you do, in fact, possess telepathic abilities.

These abilities allow you to know exactly what someone is thinking before they even say it out loud.

This is a strong ability that can help us understand people better and read their minds. It’s a very powerful gift…and one that you should cherish!

5) You are very connected to spirit, god, or the universe

One of the first signs that you may have telepathic abilities is if you are very spiritually connected to god, the universe, or even just spirits in general.

If you feel like your connection is strong and very tangible, this could indicate that you have psychic abilities.

For example, many mediums who possess telepathic abilities say they can feel messages coming through with a heavy sense of emotion.

This doesn’t mean you need to be religious or spiritual in order to have telepathic abilities, but most people with this gift are very connected to something they believe in.

You see, essentially, it doesn’t really matter what you believe in, in the end, it is all about connecting with your inner self and nurturing that connection.

If that is you, then there is a good chance that you might have telepathic abilities!

6) You have sent or received thoughts in the past

We all think about our thoughts from time to time, but many people experience telepathic communication more often than they might realize.

This is because we are able to send and receive thoughts at any given moment when we have telepathic abilities.

Most of the time, telepathic connections happen with people who are in close proximity to each other.

However, it’s possible that you have had a thought connection with someone across the world or even on the other side of the world who you have never met before.

Sending or receiving thoughts like this might feel normal to you because you’ve done it ever since you remember, but you see, most people can’t do that!

Simply put, if this has happened to you before, then you most likely have telepathic abilities!

7) You are good at helping people express what they want to say when they can’t put it into words

One of the key characteristics of a person with telepathic abilities is that they are good at helping people express what they want to say when they can’t put it into words.

If you are able to interpret what someone else is feeling or thinking, then you have an innate ability to read people.

This skill can be helpful in personal relationships as well as in business.

Understanding what your prospects, clients, friends, or family want will help you immensely in life!

And the best part?

Your ability enables you to help people who can’t speak up for themselves because you can do it for them!

You see, some people have a really hard time voicing their needs and concerns, so when someone like you comes into their life and can basically read their mind, that will help them immensely!

8) You have a good sense of intuition and a strong sense of knowing when something is right or wrong

Intuition is an innate ability that most people have.

This means that you intuitively know when something is right or wrong.

You just know what you need to do, even if you have no idea why.

For example, if you get a feeling in your stomach that something is going to happen, then it’s best to go with it!

However, when you have telepathic abilities, your intuition tends to be much stronger than the average individual.

You can tell whether or not someone will be a good friend or foe.

When you have telepathic abilities, you are able to sense people’s true intentions instantly.

If someone seems genuine and honest with you, then they probably are!

If, on the other hand, they seem like they might be faking it, then it probably isn’t worth getting involved with them.

But not just with people, you also have a great sense of gauging situations.

If something seems off, then you know it is probably not going to work out.

This skill will help you in your career and relationships.

You can sense when something isn’t right and won’t be good for you.

And even if there is no reason, to begin with, you just know that it’s not going to work out!

If a situation feels odd or strange, then there is a chance that it will end badly!

Learning to hone your power of intuition is an amazing skill on top of your telepathic abilities.

You see, sometimes intuitive choices are anything but rational, and still, they end up being the right decision!

9) You have the same thoughts as the people around you sometimes

Having the same thoughts as the people around you is a sign that you have telepathic abilities!

There are many reasons for this occurrence, but the most likely reason is that you’re picking up on the other person’s thoughts.

To test if this could be the case, think about something and see what people around you start talking about.

If they’re talking about your thought subject, there’s a good chance that you’re picking up on their thoughts.

Why does this happen?

Well, this phenomenon is common for people who aren’t aware of their telepathic abilities just yet.

They will write it off as a coincidence that they keep thinking the same exact things as what the people around them are saying.

Let me tell you something:

It’s not a coincidence!

If you keep doing this on accident, there is a really good chance you have telepathic abilities.

10) You are amazing at non-verbal communication

Non-verbal communication is a form of telepathy.

It’s the form of telepathy that relies on body language and physical cues to convey thoughts or feelings.

If you are amazing at understanding non-verbal communication, it is more likely that you have telepathic abilities.

For example, if you always know your partner is mad before they tell you, this could be an indication that you can read their thoughts and feelings through their body language!

Sure, some people are naturally good at picking up non-verbal cues, but more often than not, this is a sign that you have telepathic abilities you don’t know about!

Think about it: unless you really educate yourself on the matters of non-verbal communication and reading body language, how come you are so good at reading people without words?

The easiest explanation is telepathy.

Maybe it’s not strong enough to hear clear thoughts from the people around you, but it’s enough to know exactly how they are feeling.

This can be really interesting to experiment with.

Try to figure out if it’s only the case with people you are close to, or if you can also read complete strangers.

11) You have a strong instinct about the needs of babies

Of course, this is not a clear sign of telepathy on its own.

However, the fact that you are so in tune with the needs of babies suggests that you may have telepathic abilities.

You see, babies are very intuitive. In fact, they are as intuitive as we humans get, so when you have a strong instinct about what a baby needs and wants, there’s a good chance you’re picking up on their feelings telepathically.

Turns out most people with telepathic abilities are really great with babies, they just have a sense of knowing when the baby is hungry, tired, etc.

Sure, there are some moms out there who seem to have superpowers when it comes to this, and sometimes, it can be written off as maternal instinct.

But when you are in tune with all babies, not just your own, that’s a pretty big sign that you have telepathic abilities!

12) You have a deep understanding of other people’s feelings

ability4 Top 16 signs you have telepathic abilities

If you often find yourself understanding other people’s feelings without them telling you about them, that is a strong indicator that you are telepathic.

Telepathy is an empathy-based power, so if you can easily understand the emotions and thoughts of others in your surroundings, it’s likely that you’re a telepath.

Sure, it’s one thing to pick up on what people are feeling, but it’s something completely different when you actually start to understand where their feelings are coming from.

That’s when you know it’s true telepathy because you can actually tell them exactly why they are feeling the way they are.

A lot of people have trouble expressing their feelings, and it can get really hard to understand the full spectrum of them if you don’t know what they’re talking about.

However, if you can pick up on their feelings just by looking at them, then that’s a pretty strong indicator that you have telepathic abilities.

13) You have a strong sense of knowing when someone is lying to you

Telepathy is all about sensing emotions and thoughts without words, so it makes sense that a lot of telepathic people can read emotions like lies incredibly well.

You know when someone has been lying to you just by looking in their eyes, or from how they’ve reacted to your questions.

This skill can come in incredibly handy in life, especially when you choose to pursue a profession where that ability plays a huge role.

It can also just be a fun game for yourself, playing the human lie detector!

14) You can easily influence or persuade others

The next sign that you have telepathic abilities is that you are able to influence or persuade other people.

There are a lot of people who can influence others because they possess telepathic abilities.

They can tell when someone is going to change their mind, and they are able to make them see things the way they want them to see them.

This skill will come in handy in any kind of job, whether you’re a lawyer, doctor, or even an actor.

Of course, you might want to be careful how far you take this skill.

At what point does it become unfair to influence or persuade other people with your abilities?

That choice is up to you, but make sure to not take advantage of people when you know you are persuasive.

15) You can tune in with the feelings of loved ones, even when they are far away

This is a big one. When you possess telepathic abilities, you can tune in with the feelings of loved ones, even when they are far away.

You can tell if someone is sad or happy without having to see them or talk to them.

Turns out you can also tell if someone is angry with you without ever needing to speak to them.

This is a really useful skill for anyone who wants to be able to feel how people are feeling at all times, especially when they’re out at work or school and don’t have the time or opportunity to talk with loved ones themselves.

In this particular case, the strong emotional connection alleviates the telepathic abilities.

You see, with strangers, it’s not easy to sense their thoughts and feelings over a distance, but the stronger the connection, the easier it gets.

16) You sometimes feel tense for no apparent reason

When you sometimes feel tense for no apparent reason, it’s likely that you have telepathic abilities.

This is because you can sense the emotions of people around you, even strangers, in a way that doesn’t involve hearing their thoughts or seeing their facial expressions.

You might feel tense for no apparent reason when you’re near someone who is feeling down or upset.

Some people with telepathic abilities can sense the feelings of others without having to hear them speak or see their expressions and then they will tense up.

Sure, this is not always the most fun thing to experience, but it’s a good sign that you possess telepathic abilities!
