i HATE my mother trying to prove i feel empathy for strangers, hell even people i'm close to. i don't, mom. i don't. the most i feel is "oh that sucks" as an empty statement, not a legitimate feeling. or if i'm close to the person, i want to make them feel better, and i feel distressed when i can't make them feel better.
i just. stop trying to prove i'm a "good person". i can be a "good person" on my own, without empathy.
