I'm tired of everyone dumping their feelings around me. I'm tired of people claiming they understand when they so clearly don't. Every time I talk about it, the people I talk to claim "they're the same way" but then act in ways that makes it clear they're not.
Now I don't want to invalidate what they're feeling, clearly they feel something too. But it makes me wonder that maybe, even to those who claim to be like me, I'm a freak.
I'm an "empath" or whatever. I have a higher affinity for reading and even taking on other people's feelings. I have no control over it, I just feel like an empty cell until I'm around other people, mimicking what they feel until I'm so overwhelmed I want to break.
I talk about it with many people, searching for someone to give me answers or to even understand, but everytime they tell me "they're the same way", I observe that really, they aren't. I don't want to tell them they aren't empaths, because clearly they do feel some semblance of the label... but it makes me wonder if I'm something else entirely.
