a plea from an empath- especially to men

Who knew being an empath was a real thing. I heard of this a few years ago. Ive always been extremely attune to other peoples feelings. and i always hate hanging out with people. especially people who claim they “love” me.

i get “loved” alot. every person i know will claim this at some point. the unfortunate reality is ppl dont understand their feelings. and as an empath i feel their feelings. so then i become free therapy. my condition is such that when i do this it wipes me out. dealing with other peoples feelings is an incredibly hard thing to do. when u feel them.

but everyone else always feels better after hanging out with me. i cannot wait to leave them and go home.

this is especially true with men. i like hanging out with men at work coz they dont talk abuot their feelings. but as the “girl” if they do- its with me. and i legit never want to do this. if u meet me out and about the rules are:

  • dont discuss ur feelings
  • dont show me baby pics
  • unless ur kid does calculus in mandarin im not impressed

done.

we have a HUGE mental health crisis. i would argue thanks to OpenAI. the current language algorithms have engineered an emotional mood that has two poles only.

  1. i hate you i want to kill you
  2. im so sad i want to kill myself
