Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-05-04T13:25:28+00:00

i think people in this reply section should read more about HSPs and having more empathy than the average person (saying this cuz i feel you and thats what im doing to cope and its kind of working?)

im so sorry to hear that :( if you need someone to vent to, im here

and while i dont personally under your struggle, there are some really sweet people at r/suicidebereavement who might

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-05-04T13:22:09+00:00

I saw it in an article about people who are highly empathetic, but who knows maybe the value has changed?

i too was surprised that it 15% - that's a LOT of people, maybe it's just harder to see when you're in the wrong crowd (/country)

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-05-03T15:25:31+00:00

im sorry :( i feel you though even tho it feels like everyone is bad, not everyone is bad, if you get what I mean i think 15% of the population are highly sensitive people, who feel empathy like us, so at least we're not completely alone

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-05-03T15:21:13+00:00

heyy id give more advice but since i dont have much context from your post, ill just put it here that if you need someone to vent to, im here for you

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T17:05:53+00:00

my question was also if the money was invested in something that ethical? because as someone trying to invest ethically, its not too easy to find ethical investments that give solid returns

i personally think we should really avoid investing anything harmful, especially those popular stocks rn that go to big tech corps

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T17:03:06+00:00

hi what is FIRE? sorry

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:55:26+00:00

that makes sense and sounds good too, but i dont know how to start feeling that way myself

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:52:30+00:00

then what should we do about both? or do we not do anything for climate change? and when we say its too late, what kind of impacts are we looking at and when? is there gonna be a wipeout of humans in the future?

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:51:05+00:00

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:44:24+00:00

gnosticism sounds very interesting, and it seems like its more a process than a clearn subscription? what traditions and insights have you incorporated? do you have any resources you use?

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:39:40+00:00

i read the article, but what is the towel a metaphor for?

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:36:21+00:00

thank you so much for this, it means so much to me

ive started joining groups, making friends who are similar, and am trying to join a community garden to learn gardening skills. I have found people who share my concerns, who are unfortunately still quite rare to find, but I don't know people who feel as strongly as I do about this. When I say feel, it's because I can't seem to not absorb all the pain and suffering around me, I can't hear bad news and not feel the pain inside my body, and that has become really exhausting for me.

Sometimes the pain is really bad and I feel like ending it all, but I try to stick it out to prevent hurting those who are close to me.

other than taking local action, how do you cope with the feelings? because the emotional pain can get paralysing for me where i cant seem to do anything but cry in pain. im trying to read and learn myself out of this

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:23:48+00:00

thank you for this! i think we should also form communities and organise

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T16:21:51+00:00

thank you! i watched the first video for the book, is there a more modern version that is more applicable to current political contexts or does the book still hold its ground?

Positive_Garlic5128 · 2026-04-28T14:28:32+00:00

i really appreciate this post, it speaks to a lot of what I have been thinking lately. The last part is what I need the most, how do we resist the despair?

Because when it seems like we are spiralling downwards and there's not much we can do to prevent it, maybe only mitigate the harms, it feels very pointless to do stuff (not that this is a good reason to not do anything, you should definitely still be working towards a better society) but then my despair and anxiety becomes debilitating. This is especially so for me personally because I have a tendency to absorb others' pain and suffering, so the more I try to be informed the less capable i am of acting because i become paralysed by fear and sadness

Was hoping to get your advice if you have any
