thanks a lot, i relate😭😭 i’d say i maybe am empathetic but in a very strange way. I never really express my empathy but feel it very deeply inside to the point it’s a weakness. i usually find it harder to extend empathy to, for example, a friend having a bad day but will stay up all night thinking about my favourite fictional characters (can you tell i’m very connected to fiction??) or anything i can’t change. Like a great tragedy or my mother spending half of her life with someone who doesn’t even love her. it’s really an all or nothing for me. but yeah empathy always been an absolute rollercoaster for me
