Do you find it hard to care about other people?

ManicMicah · 22-25, M
I'm a severe empath. It's hard to tell if my emotions and personality traits are my own...rather, often it feels as though I care about too many people and their emotions TOO MUCH...I feel their pain ten times harder. Or at least I think i do...i dunno.

@ManicMicah I don't know, guess it's the wrong word?
ManicMicah · 22-25, M
@ShaythePanTransMan Then what's the right one?
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@ManicMicah I don't know. I abandoned my studies of psychology a few years ago.

I do. I feel a void where I understand others have feelings here. My experiences may have contributed to this.

In the moment, yes. Generally, no. I've been through a lot, so I can relate to a lot of things, which makes it easier to care about other people. Really depends on my current mental state, though. It's hard to care about others when you're drowning in the ocean, right. So first step is finding a nice island.

@Tatsumi Right, that's very true

It’s not hard but extremely time consuming and exhausting.

No, I usually care too much and it burns me. I wish ai could care less

Nope, lol. I'll legit cry when I hear of someone I know struggling.

@SW-User aww
SW-User
@ShaythePanTransMan Tbh, even people I don't know. Like, I'll see documentaries and cry.
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@SW-User Really?
Ooh if you want a documentary that will make you cry but also is fantastic.... America's Drone Wars is one of the best I've ever seen. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpzk7OdbjBw]
