Telepathic Empathy

I'm not sure how to explain this and it's all so new, so I feel kind of crazy explaining this, but it's worth a shot.

I was at my friend's house and it was very very late. She was kind of zoned out and I asked what was wrong and she said nothing. I just had this horrible feeling in my stomach, so I asked again. She said she wasn't sure what was wrong she was just upset. So we were talking and I looked her dead in the eyes and I literally felt her emotions. I was naming off emotions that I was feeling that I thought she might be feeling and she said I was correct on all of them. Every single one. And emotions she was feeling, but didn't know how to explain it, I was very shocked. I asked her if she ever felt lonely and she said she had, and I knew because I was feeling so lonely and empty. Then we moved on to depression and she said she felt depressed all the time. She asked me how I knew this and I said I just felt it. I just had this feeling inside of me about her mom, So I asked if her mom ever cries and she said no. Never. But she told her mom the next day what I did and she asked her mom if she cried and she said she had been crying. Every single night. Now I was interested by what I did.

So I called my brother into my room and did what I now call a "reading" and I asked if he had butterflies in his stomach, because I had them too. And he said yes. I did this on a few other people and it has worked.

I don't know what this is or how to explain it, but I was hoping somebody had some answers for me. Somebody told me I could have what is called "Telepathic Empathy" I guess that's why I posted on this site.

Does anyone have any answers for me? It'd be appreciated!
