Okay so, am I human? Don't exactly know, but I want to know something. For the longest time I have had strange abilities, for example, I have preminition dreams, can sense spirits and ghosts, can read emotions, influence emotions(with a bit of struggle) and can create a thing that I call my barrier that is an invisible "force" that I use to keep ghosts and things at Bay. I can also turn it into kinda a wepons, but I cannot see it. I don't see any of it, more like get an idea of what it looks like, colors, but i don't physically see anything. Like a feeling. Recently, I met a werewolf, and a hellhound. If you think I'm crazy good, just pretend this is fiction and go cause I'm serrious. I got a neclaces that had a curse on it and a guy trapped in it. (Don't know the full story my friend won't tell me). A few months later, the curse went away and the guy broke free. Me and my friends tried to figure out 1. Why didn't I die(it was a death curse) 2. Why was the curse gone. Recently, I mentioned something. Maybe my body recognized the curse as a danger, and started to cancel it out. And while it was doing that accidentally set the guy free. I mentioned this to my hellhound friend and he mentioned I might be a mage. I don't know what to think, I'm tired of questioning everything about myself.so I just want answers. If someone could help me, that would be great.

Welcome to the forum.
Everything that you've described is within the capability of normal humans, for those that have an interest and belief in the 'supernatural'. However your experiences may make more sense with some structure, as not everything you've described is within the confines of possibility given this world's limitations and known constants regarding energy work and manipulation. I have been studying these for around a decade now, certainly not as long as some but it's enough time to have gained a good bit of knowledge. If it's alright I'll be talking about each section of your post so that, hopefully, I can provide you some information and maybe even give you some answers.
What you describe as 'abilities' could be looked at from a particular light. While I will provide my own thoughts on this I certainly encourage other members to chime in if they feel that they can also provide information.
Your dreams, the ability to sense non-physical entities, and having an insight to the inner workings of highly emotional creatures, such as humans, are all easily accessible through practice and the study of the non-physical. Your senses, which all people have, will and do become more defined the more we use them. The more we practice. These are pretty rudimentary abilities given a couple years of work when it comes to the study of energy. Especially on the front of emotions, as an increase, decrease, or change in emotion will alter the flow of energy that all living beings give off.
Molding energy into offensive or defensive structures is simply known as energy work. There are quite a few schools of energy work, you will find as you continue on through life.
Binding a soul to an object is also fairly rudimentary and is slightly different as hollywood tends to portray it. Well, alright, a lot different. It's not a 'curse', as it's just a binding. Curses may not exist as we expect then to, though some things can be attributed to this concept. The binding breaking of this object wouldn't harm you, and there's several reasons as to why such a thing might fade. It could have been an old binding, and not done properly. Simply breaking over time. Or, perhaps, the spirit bound to the object had the strength to break the binding. That does not mean they are a threat to you, as anything can be bound to an object with the right knowledge and circumstance. Meaning both good and bad spirits. Your natural flow of energy would not have had an impact on this binding, but if it wasn't completely bound, the spirit may have used the close proximity to you to feed on your excess. Allowing them to gain more strength over time, and thus being able to break the binding. It's really up in the air, but it doesn't mean anything super scary that you should worry about.
'Mages' are a videogame concept, really. The term can be used, but isn't necessary. Anyone can wield energy with enough time and practice. Some people have natural affinities for certain types of energy work, but all schools can be mastered with enough time and, hah, energy. Thus meaning there is nothing inherently special about it.
As I said prior, nothing about what you mentioned indicates a non-human identity. Hopefully this has provided you some answers, and if anyone else wants to chime in I encourage it.

You've come to a good place to ask questions about this sort of thing, there are a few of us, such as Geist and myself, who practice energy work. Geist pretty concisely summed up everything very well, she's been at this a while and knows her stuff.
Humans, and most living creatures, have a basic ability to sense energy to varying degrees at a base level; and humans can work with energy as well. It's just that in the modern, urban, technological age a connection to energy has become lost by many. But it's still there, which is why anyone can have moments of premonition or reading emotion.
Though, the ability to read emotion isn't always because of energy work. A large portion of communication is in body language, especially micro expression, which are inherent in every human (for example, someone born blind and who has never seen a smile will still know how to smile and in what circumstances). Tone and emphasis are also important parts to expression. All of those factors are also able to be used by someone to change how someone else expresses themselves and can alter their emotional state. There's a pretty neat science behind it, so it doesn't always boil down to "strange abilities", though that is one explanation as well.
As for the amulet with the binding, like Geist said above already it's not too difficult to bind something to an object, and it sounds like the binding was either wearing off already or whatever was bound just finally decided to break out. It was highly unlikely to have anything to do with you, or have any affect on you since you weren't the one under the binding.
I agree with Geist's analysis that everything you're experiencing is well within the realm of human abilities.

The others have this covered, but my only addition is that I assure you that you're human. If you test your DNA, just like everyone else on this forum, it will be human.

I think that this is the point that needs to be stressed, first and foremost, is that you are a human. Biologically, physically and mentally. However whatever it is you feel you identify with and as goes far deeper than what pop culture stipulates
