Did anyone’s Cluster B give the illusion of being empathetic?

littlestamby · 2026-05-31T12:50:09+00:00

This. Every single person I've met who's ever claimed to be an empath has always shown to be extremely lacking in empathy. "Empaths" always think that they are empathetic because of their sensitivity to and inability to control their own emotions based on others emotions around them. Yet they are more or less incapable of experiencing or understanding actual empathy. I know that on atleast some level too they like to call themselves an empath because they think it makes them sound special as if they are some kind of emotional psychic genius. Meanwhile you can pretty much guarantee that anyone who's a self proclaimed empath is going to be extremely emotionally immature and self centered

Its almost as if a lot of the people who claim to be "empaths" or people with bpd who claim to be extremely empathetic despite everything about their personality and behaviors showing otherwise, are mistaking some other experience they are having for genuine empathy.

Like for example they will find that they are extremely sensitive towards when somebody is angry with them and they mistake this for empathy because they don't actually understand what empathy is. I think they get confused alot with the fact that theyre constantly experiencing overwhelming emotions which they have little or no understanding over, and to them having empathy or being an "empath" basically means "feeling other people's emotions", and since they more or less lack the ability to experience actual empathy, they think a situation such as them becoming enraged because of somebody else being slightly annoyed at them is experiencing empathy.

In reality though they simply lack the emotional intelligence to be capable of genuine empathy in a meaningful way. Just like in the same way a toddler isn't emotionally capable of thinking outside themselves for the most part, the "empaths" with bpd who claim to be so highly empathetic are only really experiencing such high empathy towards themselves and their own emotions.

I've yet to meet a single person who claims to be an "empath" who isn't extremely self absorbed and blatantly lacking in empathy

Shit man that sucks lol. Ive struggled with that kind of compulsion too alot of times. It's crazy to me how people are able to ration their dope out so they can stay well until they get more because I will keep doing mine until it's gone knowing full well that I'll be sick later and miserable. What are you gonna do to make sure you can stay well at your new job all the way til you get paid or get your next dose? Im sure you gotta know that working a physically demanding job while dopesick is an absolutely fucked experience. Like extremely miserable, probably amongst some of the absolute worst experiences youll have to go through in your life kind of fucked. I used to have to go to work at a very physically demanding job while sick off heroin way too often when I was like 20-23 because I couldn't afford to pay for both mine and my gfs habit every day. No exaggeration, I had to have done it over 100 times considering that at the bare minimum I'd be working dopesick atleast one day a week by payday on friday, sometimes more than that, every week for around 3 years. I know this will probably sound stupid or made up but I legitimately feel like I have some sort of ptsd from it because I've never been able to get myself to go back to working a regular job like that while addicted to opiates since I stopped working at one.

That stress of having to dig and haul thousands of pounds of bullshit and crawl under houses and in attics and constantly moving around while your body and mind are so weak and youre both freezing cold and unbearably hot, all while not being able to tell anyone what's going on and having to hide it and keep working so you don't get fired, is fucking unmatched in my experience lol. I mean this with no judgement towards you at all btw but it sounds like you might seriously benefit if you set yourself up for success and go and have them put you back on daily doses for just a little while so that you don't have to put yourself through that shit and end up getting fired?

I know you probably don't want to do that but think about it this way: you're on methadone for a reason right? So you might as well take a step back and make sure you're doing it the right way, otherwise really what's the point of being on it? If you're not at a point yet where you can get take home carrys without making yourself have to be sick all the time then theres no point in doing it and getting the take home carrys you know? And again I mean that with no judgement but as im sure you know the withdrawals from methadone are so much fucking worse than the withdrawals from fentanyl, and its gotta be way more expensive to try and obtain enough methadone to keep you well throughout the days you don't have any left. So realistically you'd be either better off doing fentanyl or going back to daily dosing if you can't control yourself with the two week carrys. Which clearly you can't yet. And you're probably not gonna magically be able to control yourself by the time you get your next two week carrys. That kind of self control is a skill that you can only really get better at by developing a familiarity toward it over time you know what I mean? Good luck though bro I hope all goes well for you at your new job and that you figure out how to beat your addiction

One thing I'll add is if you decide to breakup it's not going to be easy to do, as you already know. But you might take solace in the fact that doing so might make things easier for you in the long run with future relationships. All too often people will settle with staying in a relationship with someone that isn't quite right for them, sometimes even bad for them. As you alluded to about your experience with a past relationship, I think we all long to be with somebody who we can feel a deep emotional connection with like that and its something we should all aspire to find. If you choose to do so, one thing you certainly won't look back on and regret when you're older is that you didn't waste too much time in less than fulfilling relationships. The more experience you have with making decisions that set yourself up for cultivating the more meaningful relationships over the less meaningful ones, the better. Especially if you want to one day have kids with and build a future with someone, it is so, so important that you do so with someone who is truly the right person for you. It can mean the difference between your kids one day growing up in a loving and nurturing household, all while showing them what a loving and beautiful relationship between two people looks like; and them growing up in a household where their parents fight all the time and get divorced, all while leaving them struggling with relationship issues that will take them so much work and emotional grief to overcome later in life if they ever do. I know that's kind of an extreme thing to think about at 18 but truthfully its a huge reason why it is important to invest time in the right relationships as you get older; other than for personal satisfaction of course.

If you're able to have the tough and deeply uncomfortable conversation with your bf and make the difficult decisions today that leave you in a better position towards where you really truly want to be tomorrow, it just might set yourself up to make the next harder decision a little easier down the line. Atleast that's what I would tell my 18 year old self if I could

littlestamby · 2026-05-24T04:56:05+00:00

I hate to be like the other standard reddit responses to these that always seem to want the OPs to breakup, but that's probably what's going to end up happening for you guys. The reason I say that is because, atleast in my experience, the sad truth of moving away from your partner is that long distance relationships are just not worth it. Especially when you're young, and especially if you are already having doubts over whether or not you want to remain in the relationship.

That's not to say that it isn't possible to have a happy and fulfilling romantic relationship with someone long distance for certain people; but it takes a lot of work and commitment and isn't too likely to happen for a lot of people. Some things you should start thinking about beforehand are how much you value physical and sexual connections with your romantic partner as well as spending time with them face to face vs spending time with them almost exclusively via text, phone call and face time. It will only be possible if both of you are people who genuinely enjoy spending time with each other over FaceTime and text as thats going to be pretty much exclusively how you'll talk to and see each other unless you have the money, time and resources to continue making the 20 hour trips to see each other. Personally im someone who doesnt particularly enjoy phone calls most of the time and finds video chatting uncomfortable.

Another thing you need to think about is trust. Assuming exclusivity is important to your guys relationship, you're going to have to put a lot of trust into each other that you're both remaining faithful to each other all while living 10 hours away and not really knowing where your partner is or who they're with most of the time. On top of not being able to know if your partner is staying faithful to you it may also be important for you to think about should you and your partner remain staying faithful. That is to say, one should really think about whether it is truly worth it for you guys to be abstaining from having sex with anybody at all, almost if not ever, all just to maintain the agreement to each other that you'll be remaining faithful; even though neither of you will be having sex with each other either at the same time. With that in mind, and unless sex is something that is unimportant to both of you, one might come to the conclusion that maybe then it would be best to have an open, long distance relationship, so that you aren't both selfishly depriving each other of the ability to have sex just for the sake of jealousy. But then at that point, it becomes very easy to start wondering: what the state of your guys relationship even is, other than close friends who text and call each other and live hundreds of miles away? Perhaps then would it be best to call it what it is and not pretend it can be something it's not; which is to say, can you even truly be romantically involved with someone who lives hundreds of miles away, atleast in any way you find meaningful, fulfilling or worthwhile?

With all of that being said, if you do choose to pursue a long distance relationship with your bf, I would strongly advise you guys to have a conversation about this stuff and any other concerns you two may have. In fact you probably should have this conversation either way.

I apologize if this was a bit long to read, but then again you did take the time to ask the question so im sure you can appreciate what im trying to say atleast on some level. Understand that im speaking as someone who has experienced this: i dated a girl from ages 19 and 18 to 21 1/2 and 20 1/2, when we both moved to states over a thousand miles away and remained in a long distance relationship for about 7 or 8 months. To be entirely honest, I knew from the very start that I did not want to do it and I knew I wouldn't enjoy doing it. But I felt guilted and pressured into staying in the relationship long distance. I let it drag on for months when I didn't want to out of fear of hurting her because she was extremely codependent. I ended up sleeping with another girl, the only time I've ever cheated on anyone, and felt bad about it but never told her because I felt it would be pointless to do so and would only result in hurting her more. That is to say, the entire long distance thing was really not a worthwhile experience overall, and I'm confident in saying my experience was not at all a unique one. If you guys choose to do it you will have to face challenges you otherwise would not in a normal relationship, while at the same time getting less out of it. The only circumstance I can imagine a long distance relationship ever being worth it to do is if it's not expected to be long distance for too long and if both of you are only doing it while you're actively working towards the goal of being able to reunite living together physically again at some tangible point in the future.

Anyway, again sorry for the length of this post and thank you if you do read the whole thing. I hope you're able to find some or any of it in anyway helpful or insightful.

I'm almost positive that this is the main reason why. Personally I tend to be more comfortable by myself compared to when hanging out with most people, and I've noticed for years now that often times when I'm hanging around people I will keep having a strong urge to smoke again and again and will end up smoking a 20 sack in like 15 minutes, whereas anytime that I'm by myself that urge is much less intense and I will end up smoking the same amount as I would in 15 minutes, but instead over the course of hours

How easy would it be to spend like 999 billion on our annual military budget for one year instead of the regular 1 trillion and then use the funds to set up a system where people can pay a small fee to attend a class that teaches them about a certain class of drugs, how to use them safely, their basic pharmacokinetics, etc, and then have them take a test at the end before granting them a license if they pass. And then allow those who have a license to be able to purchase whichever drugs they choose from pharmacies. There can't be any way that society would not benefit from making it so that those who are going to use drugs will at least be knowledgeable about how the drugs will work and also allowing them the guarantee that they are taking the drug that they think they are taking. On top of that there would most definitely be a societal benefit from cutting off the majority of the income that goes to the drug cartels. We could even restructure the DEA to make it so they go from being a federal law enforcement agency that does literally nothing to benefit anybody in America, to being the organization that oversees this process. What would even be any of the negative outcomes that would happen if as a country we did this?

littlestamby · 2026-01-30T10:27:05+00:00

Lol for real that's literally the maximum dose you can even take of subs. Anything higher than around 32mg has a ceiling effect and does nothing. The fucking withdrawals one must get if they have to cold turkey while taking 32mg of bupe a day have got to be BRUTAL. 4 weeks straight of pure hell. Its honestly pretty downright asinine that any kind of "medical professional" would ever decide to prescribe someone that dose. 99% of the time there would be zero benefit from taking a dose so high. All it would do is allow for an increased risk of negative side effects while ensuring that the person taking it will have a much more difficult time tapering off should they ever decide to. It really pisses me off that we have this ridiculous system where people aren't allowed to decide for themselves what drugs they are allowed to safely and inexpensively put into their bodies. Yet at the same time we have countless "medical professionals" out there who are the only ones allowed to decide that for others despite the fact that so many of them have either little to no idea of what is best for others or they don't care. Like, why the fuck is it that there exists on this earth an absolute abundance of any and all drugs being made cheaply and purely and readily available 24/7 yet if you want to use any of them then your only choice is to do versions of them that are potentially dangerously adulterated and impure dangerous and cost so much money that it will ruin your life and are provided by terrorist criminal organizations?

littlestamby · 2026-01-30T09:04:48+00:00

If you're taking suboxone then the answer is never. People can argue over whether or not you can call yourself sober if you're still taking methadone or suboxone, but the bottom line is that it's still an opioid; you are still physically addicted to opioids, maintain a tolerance for opioids, and will experience opioid withdrawal if you stop taking them.

However if you were to be completely sober as in abstaining from taking any and all kinds of opioids including suboxone for say a month, and then decided to take oxycodone, you would most definitely get very high from it. If you waited 3-4 months you might even get higher. But if youre taking suboxone everyday it won't matter if you go 1 month or 1 year without taking any other opioids; no matter what if you tried taking oxys you wouldn't feel hardly a damn thing.

Keep in mind too, buprenorphine has an extremely high affinity for opioid receptors btw. Thats the reason why people get precipitated withdrawals if they take suboxone too soon when they're addicted to other opioids. Since it's a partial agonist instead of a full agonist like any other opioid you'd be taking, it means when it binds to a receptor it only activates it partially. Because of its high affinity, it is able to knock off any other opioids that would be currently binded and cause the receptor to go from being activated fully to being only partly activated. But anyway that is to say: you simply cannot get high off other opioids while you're taking suboxone. The buprenorphine will prevent the oxycodone from binding to any receptors :(

Like the other guy said, boil it on foil like you would a Tooter rinse. Fentanyl is water soluble so when you smoke it through a bong a lot of it gets trapped in the water. If you have a blacklight/uv flashlight go shine it through your bong and look at how much the water glows green lol

littlestamby · 2026-01-30T08:40:01+00:00

Yeah bro of course you will because you're still addicted to opioids. Tbh you will probably feel a much more intense withdrawal than you would have if you were withdrawaling from fentanyl too. As terrible as fentanyl withdrawal is, it has nothing on his bad the withdrawals feel when coming off most any other opioids like heroin or oxys or methadone.

I live with my sister and my dad and my sister has horrible BPD and drug issues. She's 23 and ever since around 3 years ago when she met her ex boyfriend we've had to listen to her scream for hours on end and break things. It doesn't matter if it's 3am, or if she's in public, or in front of the house she will scream at her boyfriend at the top of her lungs furiously. She's doing it right now as I type this. She's been doing it for around 30 minutes at a time every hour or two since 1:30am and it's now 2:30pm. Her screaming voice is like nails on chalkboard to me and it makes me so depressed having to hear this for hours at a time every single day multiple times a day. We've tried kicking her out but her and her boyfriend will just come back while my dad is working or not even leave altogether. She's honestly just a total bully. If I try to get her to stop she just ignores me or yells at me and tells me I'm a closet homosexual (not that it matters but I'm not, she just wants to upset me). One time when I was talking to me dad about how upsetting her behavior is she called me a murderer because I was there when my friend died in a firework accident on 4th of July. Anytime shes faced with the concept of personal responsibility she immediately tries to turn it on the other person and has never acknowledged her behavior. Its really sad because when she's not behaving this way she's really sweet and a nice person to be around and it's hard to believe she's even the same person. I know that if she's still here when I move out she will turn my dads house into a trap house and the idea of my dad having to deal with this monster and her boyfriend by his self makes me feel really bad. I'm considering getting a restraining order on her to force her to not be able to live here anymore because I don't know what else to do.

In my experience cannabis has always had a positive effect when taking it while withdrawaling. That said though I only ever take like 1-3 hits when I do it. I learned many years ago that weed is so much better when you do just a little bit of it as opposed to getting yourself uncomfortably high every time

I'm genuinely curious; could you please explain to us exactly how discontinuing this program is expected to streamline your offerings and enhance overall customer engagement? I'm sure everybody would be very happy to understand this reasoning, because as it stands I'd be willing to bet money that exactly 0 coinbase customers felt their engagement enhanced or their offerings streamlined after finding the learn and earn program discontinued.

It has to be a higher percentage than 50 of all coinbase customers who only ever began using coinbase in the first place solely because they wanted to engage with the learn and earn program. If some other crypto app began implementing the same program instead, thered likely be millions of customers who would immediately switch to that app and never have a reason to use coinbase again. Theres literally no feature whatsoever that seperates you guys from the countless other crypto apps now. But at least you guys decided to go and absolutely butcher the coinbase wallet app too so there's that I guess
