(What I got from this): You only love people who care about the unmasked you.

that’s such a fuckin good way of putting it insightful af

[sourgummiez]

I feel other peoples emotions and experiences so intensely its painful. As if i am actually experiencing it. My amygdala is overactive and over stimulated because of my childhood so i can really relate to how your brain didnt develop the proper way either. We didnt choose this shit. We can only try to be the best people we can be now

Thank you for explaining this. I have a friend who just admitted to me the other day that he is a sociopath but I imagine it's on a spectrum. He has actually treated me better than any other man that I've ever had in my life. He has been there for me when I needed him and he actually seems to care about me. When he said that, I was a little wary after that but I'm not going to judge him for it. He can't help how he is and though I am going to pay attention to what he said, I'm not immediately going to write him off. I just know not to get to attached to him.

people in the comments making people with psychopathy sound like bad people are part of the problem. i struggle with bpd and i see how the stigma affects my ability to get treatment bc even medical professionals label us “difficult” and “untreatable”. psychopaths and sociopaths are people who also struggle with their disorder and the stigma around it. We are not all bad people, you just need to change your pov and try to understand that many are trying to get better. no all of us are bad people or abusers

I have adhd and I was born extremely empathetic (along w the other women in my family) and I love your content and wish you all the best! Watching you be open about your experiences is very interesting, and myself being on the opposite end of the empathy spectrum feels like an exercise of putting myself in someone’s shoes who has a very different experience. Kinda paradoxical, empathizing with non-empathy ! Lol peace and blessings, beautiful!!

Insightful. Definitely would rather be around her than a dark empath

[arefe]

So, you don't love them. You love you. Coz they're an extension of you

[bamabby]

Honestly though, it just sounds like you want someone that knows the real you. And I love that.

[amberenergyhealertarot]

This is exactly how I think/feel. Perfect explanation.

[steaksoymilk]

so true. if you can put up with my bs and i dont see or sense any negative reaction then to put it bluntly youre mine now. well until you mess up and find it almost impossible to forgive you..

[orokremagyar]

what does "truly care about" mean to you? if there's no empathy

[KwameR.Sankofa]

KANIKA BATRA...the sociopathic type pokemon, uses dark type moves, superficial charm & baby like voice to control her foes

[Cagedbird]

I often think maybe I might be a sociopath, but disguised. People have always said how "empathetic and understanding", blah, blah, blah I am...but truth is is that I feel nothing for anyone (the exception being animals or babies/toddlers), but I understand how you're supposed to act or what to say in any given situation because of picking up on other people's social skills/habits.

Everything you said was spot on.

Also diagnosed with CPTSD, so maybe life fucked me up. 😂

[tientruong]

So basically you love what they can do for you, not them as a distinct person.

[a.a.erd.]

This is so helpful and makes so much sense.

[CJ-vwdt]

OMG that explains so much about my ex! He used to say that he "loves without emotion"

[nalinea]

As another with ASPD (a psychopath here since I was just born fun I guess), thanks for explaining it better than I ever could. One Life Pro Tip though: if you ever marry, marry another ASPD-person. They won't expect things you cannot deliver. My husband does not get offended by anything I do, and vice versa. It helps us both to relax at home.

Sounds like so many tv shows depicting love, and what we're taught at school tbh.

[victoriadawson]

I completely understand that some people can have no empathy, but as someone who is TOO empathetic i don't understand how people could not have empathy, but it's just because being too empathetic is all I've known, sometimes i cry during movies when they're not even sad 🤣😭 and i absolutely cannot watch someone being tortured in a movie
