Faonnable Asked: Empathic questions! Help please?

Hello,
So I am just going to throw some random empathy questions out there. If you could answer some of them (or all preferably), that would be amazing. Here it goes.

1. Are empaths kind of like psychic? Do empaths know what a person is not only feeling, but thinking?
2. Does sex effect empaths in any different way?
3. How does a typical empath act?
4. Do people like to be friends with empaths?

And if you have any more info on people with empathic abilities, I would really appreciate it, thank you.
