    As someone with extremely u!usual emotional reactions: i love this shit. It’s so cool and good.

    And if you argue agaibst it, for any other model of compassion, you’re just a monster.

    That sounds less like an empath and more like a cop. They know everything you’re thinking within 5 seconds

    It’s almost like we spent millions of years evolving as social communal animals. Almost like we evolved …wait for it…

    Empathy. /gasp

          How would a single person evolve at all? At least your lack of intelligence and compulsive urge to downvote what’s beyond your understanding certainly is not a medical condition. Nor can it be helped. An asshole will always remain an asshole.

    I sort of have this… but its not supernatural.

    It’s just my autistic quirk of adopting personality traits of people around me… I’ve heard it called Chameleoning

    “I’m an empath” a.k.a. I’m so stupid that I think reading body language requires supernatural powers

        As far as I’ve been told, that’s an extension of their inability to regulate emotions. They aren’t more in tune with other’s emotions, but rather, their emotional responses to other’s emotions is stronger than the average person.

        People with bpd aren’t sensing other people’s emotions more, they are reacting to it more due to their dysregulation.

    This actually works, whenever I scold at people for thinking mean thoughts at me. They ALWAYS respond agressively. Didnt know there was a word for it, Thanks!
