[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t that a sociopathic trait? to lack empathy? 🤔[/quote]

To lack empathy entirely is, yes. But to have no limits to your empathy and to be blindly used by various groups who take advantage of your empathy because they know you’re soft is a mark of a psychiatric disorder as well.

To draw an analogy to parenting. It’s bad to not have empathy for your kids but it’s worse to say yes to everything, never put your foot down, and be manipulated by their whining, cries of something not being fair, etc.

The former type of parenting usually produces more self reliant children, who might feel unloved sometimes. The latter type of parenting produces kids who live in their parents’ basements until their 35.

You live inside of a prison that is your own mind. You have created a narrative that justifies your worldview. Like Don Quixote tilting at windmills.

My kid will never feel unloved and no that is not some sort of disadvantage.

I think the crux of the issue is that you mistake the feeling of empathy with “being manipulated”. You are insecure and feel like your sense of self is so unstable that whenever you feel empathy your fear response leads you to protect your delicate ego against being “manipulated”. I think it is far more courageous to give generously without judgement in your heart. This is all about fear.[/quote]

You do you, boo.  Feel free to give generously of your money and time to anyone you want.

Same to you, but then why do you want people to view you as empathetic if you don’t care?[/quote]
