empathy

Yesterday I was sitting at my computer typing a paper when I got this feeling like something bad just happened. My mind was racing so I got up and walked around my room. Then I had the urge to go to my roommate's room. Two of my roommates were sitting on the bed crying over a guy. Here's my question do you think I was just picking up on their emotions or do you think it was something bigger? This is not the first time I have gotten a feeling and it turned out to be something really bad.
