That sounds like it actually might work.

Tell HR what went on that day with the way the manager was behaving, that he then made that comment to you. Tell them that you said what you did to get a point across on his bad behavior and that it was like an example on how we don't know what is going on in a person's private lives - that we should always talk things out with someone before judging them, and that he should really learn how to deal with a situation like that in a more professional way. Let them think that it was just a coincidence that what you said turned out to be true.
We've all had "coincidences" like that so they will understand that. They will then (hopefully) turn their attention to what is the real problem there at work - their managers management techniques!
What makes you question that you are an empath?
Well whatever it is, I don't think you should think of it as a burden. It's just something that will take time to master. For example, earlier you mentioned that you imagine yourself opening up like a flower. I think that's great that you want to feel exactly what they feel so that you can help them. However, it seems like opening yourself up so much could be toxic. It seems like it can become draining and unhealthy. So maybe Moonstone's suggestion of you becoming like a stone could actually help. Now I'm not saying you should become a total stone because that extremity would be just as toxic as being too sensitive. Find a balance of the two, young grasshopper. (lol)
I understand why you said what you said about the dying man to his manager. I'd want to put his mean self back in his place as well. However, it might have been best to not say anything at all. Just because you know this information about him doesn't mean his manager needs to know.
But then again you never know. Maybe this incident needed to happen to expose a certain someone's managing techniques like Redwolf suggested.
I also don't think you would have been given this gift if you couldn't handle it.

im going to try that since i didnt go in to talk to them today. The HR person only works every other Saturday so that turned out well. I didnt know the information till after I said it. Thats what irritates me so. I dont want to controll it I want to be rid of it. Do you know any way to do that? I can shield, control my own energy, meditate and on and on and on. For some reason I have been getting alot of very old and wise teachers teaching me but they say i cant get rid of it. My phone bill will be enormous calling all these countries to talk to mentors and im getting nowhere lol.
