I too had thought two separate people could read my mind. One of them is a shaman-type person who runs Native American sweats that I have attended and he could accurately pinpoint who needed what in the sweat, so, who knows with him? But in general, I don't think so.
As for being a highly sensitive person I can really relate to that as well. It's really easy for us to pick up on others emotions, etc. for me this was learned behavior as a child from necessity. There are great books available specifically for highly sensitive people. Just check out the main sources if you're interested.
