Knowing Things About People Instantly

I already know that I am sensitive, espescially when it comes to knowing things that other people don't know yet. I have recently discovered that I know certain things about people even though I haven't really talked to them about themselves or if I know a person extremely well such as my cousin, I know things she tries to hide from her family and she is a totally different person than the person everyone knows and I know what she acts like at school and what she tries to be even though she has not even discussed any of this with me and no one else knows but me. The other day, I told my mom not to phrase a question in the way she was going to because I knew my cousin would lie already and my mom phrased it differently and my cousin told the truth. (In defense of my cousin I am making it seem like she is an awful person, but she isn't she is going throguh a rough time with a lot of personal and family issues and loss.)

I notice that when I am around animals I know what they are like and I also can kind of sense how they feel and what they want and how they feel about certain people. I want to make this stronger so that maybe I can communicate with them telepathically? Any advice for this would be great.

I can also tell if someone is a good or bad person which brings me back to knowing what people hide and the person people really are. I can tell when I am in a bad situation as well.

I seem to have this unexplainable connection with the water, any thing that involves it especially the beach. Everytime I have to leave it, it almost hurts my heart. When I am around the water I feel amazing and all I feel is happy and almost free. People might just say I love the water but I know its more than that. Sometimes I even feel like I can control it.

Any help with any of my abilities or just advice is much appreciated. Thank You:)

I also would like to know (stupid question I know) if there is anything that you drink or eat that seems to increase your awarness or abilities as well as anything that you avoid. Thank you:)
