I would think depending on what the feelings are and how they are used, they might actually be considered a gift from God. Personally, I think people who have psychic abilities are just more in tune. For the longest time I couldn't put a name to a lot of feelings I have. I am a bit of an empath. It can help, because I might know when someone needs someone to talk to. It can really help when my children are in trouble, because it's easy to tell who is lying (and the kids just think it's amazing). It can be bad when I feel overwhelmed about too much so-called energy. Scientifically, I would just be considered more observant. Because we don't always observe just with our eyes. It is really hard for me to explain, since it is something I just do.
I'd get "feelings" and premonitions that I was unable to describe. I'll be focusung on an event or a person and then something that would happen or what someone was going to say or do and it happens. But I can't explain how I knew it ahead of time.
