this is more of a rant more than anything else. Just to help me get things off of my chest instead of doing something stupid and unnecessary. If you do not want to read something pointless and/or do not want to read about the concept of EMPATHY then i recommend closing this page NOW.
that is all
*END DISCLAIMER*
Here is a picture of a giraffe... Just in case you felt like you were wasting your time
Not many blogs have giraffes do they!!!
For those who know me-- you may understand my empathy levels.
for those that don't.
EMPATHY- the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
Back in High school, I was a very empathetic person. I could partially feel what others were feeling. Both a blessing and a curse.
My group of friends weren't exactly the happiest of people. they had a lot of problems.
Problems that I thought I could personally fix. I put aside my own issues and problems to fix their problems, which helped my empathy levels with them around....
Surely this all sounds crazy. But for those who knew me in high school. I said I wanted to be a therapist. or a psychologist, or something that had to do with peoples well being.... That was because of the fact that I could feel and read peoples emotions.
Though my little "gift" has cooled down a bit. It occasionally flares with people. People I am close to.
I feel their pain. and now I have to force myself to try not to fix it. no matter how bad i hurt for them. or no matter how badly I want to fix it. I know i can not because reviewing my high school life I know it will only lead to more chaos and rapture.
I will end this nicely.. and quietly...
I am praying for those who have empathy issues like me. and I know how it feels.
I love you all..
Godspeed <3
