    Empathy is a strength. Not giving a f*** about everything is easy.

    Not giving a f*** about anything as an empath is not easy at all

  • It's a literal essential function for human reproduction

    it depends, I got empathy for some people, but if I don't like you...

    it's what made humans so successful as a species

    but imo it's dangerous when you romanticize it and go too far with it

    being a slave to your empathy is just as unhealthy as not having any empathy

    It’s definitely a good quality to have in a person but sometimes u gotta think about more than ppls emotions

  • Feb 22, 2021

    A good trait for humans to have but can be exploited. Unfortunately I can't emotionally feel empathy for others besides myself but I can see empatthy logically.

    Tf kinda question is this

    Empathy is an essential part of what it means to be human. It's one of the most beautiful things in the universe, and ultimately the key to our survival as a species.

    Empathy is good, but you have to be alert and not allow others to fool you.

    wish I had less tbh because this s*** hurting me rn

  • It’s a weakness when you compromise your moral code because of it. I feel empathetic for a lot of people who wronged me in the past but I know it would be a mistake to forgive them or to act like nothing happened.

    I think empathy, true empathy, is a difficult attribute to have. There are few people who are truly empaths even if they believe themselves to be so.

    Often I find that a lot of people who do consider themselves empathetic tend to empathize almost exclusively with people they already feel a degree of sympathy for, or can somewhat easily relate to already.

    Very rarely is it directed towards people whom they disagree with, or dislike, or even despise.

    I try to separate the human being from the actions in the sense I won’t defend reprehensible actions, but I’ll try and respect the individual who commits them from the standpoint of a human being, a human being whose life experience likely differs greatly from my own.

    Even people who appear to others on the surface as evil, which I don’t believe in, are often times, if not the majority of the time, capable of love and kindness to others, you just may not bear witness to it.

    I think this is perfect friend. You are wise beyond your years

    It's a strength generally.

    But too much empathy can def be a weakness.

    Pretending that you don’t give a f*** about anything is.

    Sociopaths do this effortlessly.

    I mean is it pretending if you have actual antisocial issues?

    I was referring more to apathy or nihilism.
