Millions of people worldwide believe to be empathic, however empathy is not a proven mental ability, therefore the exact number of empaths worldwide is a bit shady.
My addition to the answer.
True the medical/mental health community still doesn't fully understand or recognize what it is to be an empath. However, Elaine Aaron is a pioneer in the field and has brought a lot of understanding to the subject.
Read anything by Elaine Aaron where she discusses the challenges and pluses of being a highly sensitive person. HSPs make up about 4 out of 20 people or 20%. She goes further though and states that out of the HSPs 25% can be classified as empaths. That's 5% of the total population...so no wonder you also feel confused and alone. Understanding helps, so research more about it.
As an empath since birth, I found that just understanding that all the emotions I feel aren't mine has been a huge help. I no longer twist myself into knots trying to figure out why I'm feeling angry, sad, depressed, anxious etc.
Understanding helps, so research more about it. Look up Elaine Aaron's work for more info.

What is emotional manipulation?
Emotional manipulation is where someone has complete control over another person's emotions just by twisting their words to make them feel like they are the bad guy. A psychic with this natural ability would be the empath. An empath can sense the emotions of another person psychically. An empath can also influence the emotions of others through the means of sensing their emotions, and then using whatever method that empath has found to be the way they manipulate emotions. Mostly, an empath influences emotions through verbal contact, but that's not the limit. Usually, an empath will project their own emotions; example: if an empath was unhappy and they went into a room full of people, those people would start to take on the empath's current emotion. Empaths project their own emotions to people consciously but unknowingly. Empaths project emotions just like a satellite broadcasts different things out to the world. Empathic Projection is not the same as Empathic Manipulation. Projection is projecting their own emotions to others whereas Manipulation is having control over a person's emotions to induce any emotion on that person. Empaths usually take their gifts to a dark place, thus using them for their own selfish intent. And having the ability to influence emotions isn't something that anyone would want to leave a malicious abuser with, is it? Most empaths do take that route because they think that they can go around manipulating people's emotions when it really isn't all that healthy to be inducing the more dangerous emotions on other people who are happy and content with their lives. Most empaths who have chosen the route of evil do that to people.

How do you stop being a empath?
You can become a skilled empath..if you find a good metaphysical teacher. The curse of being an empath is not having anyone to tell you how to turn it off. Empathy is basically volunteer service for the soul...I am sure God has a way of taking that ability away if we truly don't want it anymore. I think regression therapy can be of big help if you can't find a TRUE gifted metaphysical teacher that knows what they are doing. Mental sheilds and blocks do not always work, depending on their strength and the strength of your empathy. I am determined to find a more successful route to powering on or off my empathic abilities.

Can you be both empath and Clairvoyant?
Absolutely. Some people confuse empathic abilities with being clairvoyant but they aren't the same.However many empaths are clairvoyant and vice versa.Being an empath means going beyond just having empathy which is to understand that other's have emotions and feel sympathy or compassion for them, but you don't necessarily have to "feel" what they are feeling in order to have empathy.An empath FEELS what others feel and often has a difficult time separating the "other" from themselves which can lead to a lot of confusion, pain and even feeling quite crazy at times.the most understood meaning of empath is of an emotional empath, and most of the time when people discuss being an empath they are meaning emotional empath.An emotional empath feels deeply the emotions of others.A physical empath feels what others are feeling in their bodies, pain, fatigue other sensations.A mental empath actually can practically hear someone else's thoughts.According to Rose Rosetree there are as many at 15 different types of empaths.Wikipedia defines Clairvoyance - The term clairvoyance(from French clair meaning "clear" and voyancemeaning "vision") is used to refer to the ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses, a form of extrasensory perception. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a clairvoyant ("one who sees clearly").So definitely an empath would be considered clairvoyant in that definition in that they gain information through means other than their 5 senses. However, most people discussing clairvoyance are talking about an ability to see into either the past or future - which isn't related to being an empath.But I know many empaths who are also clairvoyants - and I, myself fit into both categories, I am also a gemstone empath (feeling the energy of crystals and stones).Unfortunately most of us go through our lives being convinced that just because most people don't feel the same way that there's something wrong with us, or that we're crazy and that WE NEED TO BE THE ONES TO CHANGE. That sure isn't helped by all the people out there who think we are crazy. I struggled with this for over 40 years.I was so relieved when I discovered that I truly was absorbing the emotions and even physical pain from other people. I couldn't figure out why I was upset because it wasn't my upset, it was my mother's, my friends, etc. I spent a good deal of time shut in my room away from the chaos in a house with 4 kids, a sick and sometimes overly emotional mother (also an empath I know now) and the 7 kids she baby sat in our house. It was too much for me to take. I needed quiet and peace to even be able to function in the world.Often when one's energy field is open to outside information a lot of differing psychic, spiritual or paranormal abilities also come into play. What I do know is that we are all so unique that the combinations of abilities that people have can be extremely varied. The biggest mistake you can make is to compare your abilities to someone else's. If you have abilities, learn to understand and use them responsibly and enjoy what you have.
