Talk:What Are You?/@comment-31077845-20170207235858

Pah, I'm no psychopath. I can turn my empathy off if need be, but when the switch is "on" it's overwhelming; I feel sympathy for every living person, for no living person lives without some level of suffering, and I wish more than anything that suffering didn't have to exist, that death didn't have to exist, that we could live forever without pain. I have a past rife with substance abuse, which I've been told by my (prior) very experienced therapist regulary comes with over-empathizing and many times, particularly in females, intense tendency towards codependence. But ya know what? This made me realize I need to examine myself and post in a place that's more appropriate regarding what REALLY alienates me from those around me and causes the intense loneliness that has resulted in my entire adult life being a mess I'm, no joking, surprised I've even survived up until now. So thank you for that, person.
