OMG! What is the word I'm thinking of!!!!?

[Super Duper]

I am having a super brainfart!
There's a word I'm thinking of, I've been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now. It's killing me! I tried googling definitions, looking in the dictionary and it's just not clicking!

I THINK the word starts with an A and has a similar meaning to empathy, I suppose?

It describes a relationship dynamic between people (Probably only two people). Where, they are... linked? Or connected in a way? Maybe spiritually? They feel each other's emotions, maybe their pain as well.

I'm thinking like... twins? The might have this sort of strange connection, because they feel one another even if they're apart.

Any clue?

Eh.

Telepathy? Not much else is springing to mind.

The type of connection you are talking about generally seems to be linked to Telepathic communication - telepathy (mutual empethy apparently being key to such a connection, if you believe in such things).

That it?

Hmmm... that's the MEANING of it, I think. Lol. Definitely explains the word better.
This is killing me! XD

Altruism comes to mind, since it requires empathy, but I don't know if the nuance is the same.

What you're describing sounds like a empathic bond-type super power. =o
