Anyways, support people with low/no empathy, sympathy, and/or compassion.

Those things are not required to be a good person, and nobody should feel like those things are a requirement in life.

A really dumb vent but tbh you don't have to feel empathy, guilt, sympathy, compassion, remorse, etc. to be a good person. You can feel none of these and still decide to do the right thing. In fact people who DO feel those things and STILL continue to do horrible things are worse imo.

Hey btw the human brain is super fucking complicated so everyone experiences things differently and lives differently, so stop calling others fakers for being different

And: Yes, I am referring to endogenic systems here. Yes, I am referring to people who use xenogenders. Yes, I am referring to people who struggle with empathy and sympathy. And yes, I am referring to all of you that are different.

You have no proof they are faking. You have nothing. They are just trying to live their life. Go back to doing that yourself.

Sincerely,

A really annoyed punk that can’t see why we can’t just accept eachother

for @wut-igay! the top three stripes are from the low sympathy flag and the bottom three represent fictional characters (black and dark purple for evil characters, purples for fictional characters in general). the term is 'fic' from 'fictional', 'low', 'sym' from 'sympathy', + 'cept' from 'except'!

While I understand why the "low empathy" tag is full of people saying that low empathy doesn't make you a bad person (something that I do fully agree with, honestly) and that you can be compassionate and sympathetic and human without empathy (again, I agree), I cannot relate to something less.

I did grow up with violent, even homicidal, thoughts mixed with my own self-destructive thoughts of suicide and such. I play the part of a "good" person, but I don't think that I am one. Hell, I hardly even consider myself a person.

I can't be the only one that's only following these rules because I'm "supposed" to. I have set ideas of "right" and "wrong" because I was told which was which, and I abide by them because I don't have much reason not to. I'm apathetic in general, it isn't worth the risk of consequence to break these rules, etc.

But I'm not a "good" person. I play the part, and that's enough to function in this world, but it isn't my default state. But, in all honesty, I don't care about others. I try to be polite and correct because it saves the trouble of being scolded for being otherwise.

I looked through the low-empathy tag trying to find people that I could relate to and, while I came closer than I ever had anywhere else, there is still that sense of feeling alone and alien.

Sure, I won't intentionally hurt others, but not because I'm actually a "good" person. I'm simply a nonconfrontational person.

‼️just a little reminder abt things ive been a bit pissed abt lately. (feel free to correct me if i say anything out of line! - mainly saying this bc i have OCD and feel like everything i say is wrong, even if ik it's completely correct)‼️

(all of these are random and don't necessarily have anything to do with eachother btw!)

1. being pro-palestine ≠ being anti-semetic (AKA being FOR palestinian liberation ≠ being AGAINST jewish people) - *notice that it is a 'NOT equal to' sign*

2. speaking from a script or plan speech doesn't make the message any less genuine. some people prefer to be prepared, have anxiety, can't remember what they were going to say, and etc.. and need some help to get a message across. and that's okay!

3. some people have no/low empathy, sympathy, and/or compassion. that does not make them bad people. yes, some bad people have no/low empathy, however, that does NOT mean that having no/low empathy, sympathy, and/or compassion makes someone a bad person

If any of my followers are against low/no empathy people, please DNI/srs

We support low/no empathy, low/no sympathy, and low/no compassion people here

Plus I literally have low, maybe even no empathy

I think one of my main struggles with empathy is when people are really insecure and need a lot of reassurance because I get the feeling theoretically but I don't get the way they react at all.

What do you mean I didn't respond to a text and you've been begging me to forgive you and sending apology messages for the past hour?

My response to someone not messaging me back for a while would be to go "well then they obviously suck and I don't need them no way am I apoligising for anything they don't deserve me".

So when someone sends me a bunch of "are you mad? I'm so sorry" messages it pisses me off because I just cannot understand their reaction.

is there a better way to describe sympathy vs empathy bc honestly everything I find boils down to “I feel for you vs I feel with you” and it doesn’t really make sense? I’m trying to figure out how much sympathy/empathy I have but it’s not helpful if I can’t understand them

Sympathy Flags

High Sympathy || Low Sympathy || No Sympathy

empathy is so damn confusing. i get it in theory, but in practice ? like i sorta think of myself as low / flux empathy but am i really ? how much of that is actually low sympathy and compasssion ?

cognitive empathy is understanding why someone feels a way, and ive read and researched and trained myself enough to be very good at that, but its all logical analysis. is that still empathy ? what if i can connect all the correct logical threads but when it comes to the conclusion i just cant wrap my emotions around it because why does it matter Really ? is that still empathy ? sometimes people are a curiosity, a fun little puzzle to analyze. certainly thats not empathy ?

emotional empathy, feeling what others feel, thats definitely not there too often. secondhand embarrassment maybe, and i used to not be able to look at people who cried but im not sure it affects me anymore

sympathy. i dont always feel that either. sometimes i still help because i feel compassion but sometimes compassion is also gone and its just to save face. reputation is especially important to me, without it id have nothing: power, support, admiration— theyre all intertwined.

sometimes its because i know i will or might care later so i better act accordingly to secure the future i want. or maybe i care about the relationship with the person as a whole if not whatever bullshit im having to deal with at the moment, so i do what i must to maintain their love and trust

sometimes its just base morality, my ideas of whats right and wrong, that stop me from being as cruel as id like. or reputation. it always comes back to reputation when im that far gone. the fun of burning everything to the ground just isnt worth the effort itll take to rebuild it all again yk ?

No empathy/sympathy culture is feeling unwelcomed in activism and activist spaces because people are constantly saying you're a heartless monster if you don't feel a deep empathy/sympathy for whoever you want to help

no empathy/sympathy culture is

someone getting mad at something i did because its "assholey" and saying "do you just have no empathy??" like yes! im glad you noticed! i do not have it! i said i didn't care because i really don't!
