I think these words can only said by those who are empathic and can put themselves in other people's shoes. Among all those who I am close with, I believe there is only one person who had validated how I felt about being emotionally abused.
Find the right person who understands you and your situation. As it is the situation itself is hard to deal with, the last thing you need is to deal with people around you who don't understand your pain.

I am fucking tired of people using the word "empathy" when they clearly mean "compassion".
For all y'all that don't know the difference here's a chart:
Tumblr media
Being empathetic isn't being able to care about other people, that's what being compassionate is.
Just because you may not understand exactly what a person is feeling or be able to experience their emotions with them does not mean you do not care about other people, or that you don't want to help them.
Tumblr media
So, for all y'all that think ppl with low empathy are incapable of caring abt others? Fuck you.

maybe there is a neurodivergent, socially awkward, or socially unaware person who does not know this so i am going to gently explain this to you today:
"small talk" is (usually) a social device that people use to gauge a level of awareness of how the other person is feeling or thinking. small talk is not usually brought up because people enjoy being vague or lightly talking about the weather or sports, but rather because this casual simple conversation can clue you in on how the other person may be feeling in the moment, their engagement energy level, and whether or not they feel like chatting right now. small talk is usually a "safe" kind of conversational engagement because it is an indirect way of letting people know, through kinds of non-verbal language, that perhaps they are too busy to chat, are focused on another task, are preoccupied with another concern, are feeling too tired, or are feeling non-sociable. it usually nothing personal against you if someone is hinting that they do not want to chit-chat right now, and honestly a lot of people kind of appreciate the "small talk" social check-in because it can be viewed as considerate. as in, "thank you for checking in on my social energy right now, i appreciate you checking before opening up a huge topic with me." of course you can also always just gently ask someone if now is a good time to talk about something that's on your mind or urgent, too. small talk is just also another method people use, both neurotypical and neurodivergent, both socially experienced and inexperienced.
i thought maybe someone might need to hear this today because i had a couple friends tell me that they hated small talk because it didn't make sense to them or that it was frustrating because it can feel uninteresting in conversation. i feel like sometimes small talk gets a bad rep because sometimes people are unaware of why small talk is actually happening. of course, this conversational device is not a one-size-fits-all method and not fool-proof. people are going to respond in different ways to small talk, and you are allowed to as well. but perhaps by talking about it like this, it wont feel as frustrating or confusing to some folks now :)

Why do people immediately think Nightmare and Dream's ability to feel emotions=empathy?
Empathy is defined, from the Oxford Language as "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another."
So for empathy you need to understand the others emotions, and be able to share that feelings.
It is never said Nightmare and Dream will feel the same though or understand!! They just can sense the feelings. They might not be able to empathize with the other person, they just know they might feel bad, but they might not understand why fully or feel bad as well.
Now, sympathy is, as from the Oxford Language, "feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune" or "understanding between people; common feeling.", which much more fits!!
My conclusion is that Nightmare and Dream don't have to have empathy. They are probably more sympathetic. If anyone knows any other words that would describe them, please give. This just bugs me a bit.

it’s so strange to me that people with npd and aspd are considered the “evil monsters” of society.
in my experience, people with aspd/npd, or even people with autism, basically just anyone who struggles with empathy, are the most compassionate people you meet.
those who struggle with empathy have to consciously consider others. of COURSE they’re more compassionate. they’re always thinking about how they can help others.
my partner has aspd and it is the sweetest person ever. i always see it stop to help others. whether it’s a couple dollars for the homeless man outside the corner store or helping someone put more gas in their car, it is the most caring person ever, WITH aspd. not despite it. not because of therapy or medication. because it wants to be a good person. it’s part of why i’m so in love with it.
some of the most cruel uncaring people i’ve met are those who apparently are “mentally well.” they don’t struggle with empathy and yet they don’t help people. they think they’re the main characters. they think asking them to consider how their words can effect others is a personal attack and snap at you for suggesting they have some consideration.
nobody is predisposed to be cruel. nobody is predisposed to be kind. you choose who you are. choose to be kind. choose to care for others.

Stop battling the wrong battles. Stop entering the wrong battlefields.
Tumblr media
Many pieces of you would stop suffering the day you would stop battling the wrong battles, so, stop battling the wrong battles. Stop reacting to every action. Just like not every opportunity is for you to grab, not every risk is for you to take as well. Stop carrying the emotional baggage of everyone you come across in your life. Not every battlefield is for you to enter. Be an empath, but learn what empathy is, and what it is not.

There comes a point where we have to understand that the door to our lives, love, and future can't be readily open to everyone for various reasons. Sometimes, it's our forgiving and empathetic nature that leads others to believe that we will always take them back and let them into our lives. Maybe it's the fact that we always looked past problems to keep the peace in our friendships or relationships. There comes a point that we have to stop choosing people who don't choose us. If you want to grow, you have to detach from what pulls you down. Free yourself from one sided relationships, wishy wash friends, and those who take you for granted. You are worth too much to continuously settle for less.
