The internet has shown me how emotionally vunerable people can be. I do not understand why but from peoples reactions to things I say I learn to say things differently. I have learned that people are less likely to listen to what I have to say when I say certain things that I would never think would bother someone.
at first it sounds nice of you to consider others' vulnerabilities, but then it seems like you're sort of manipulating them into listening to you, not saying it's a bad thing, just curious. if you really care about people's feelings, or you just use them to get the most out of someone. I don't know which one i do either. I mean, they say everyone is motivated by self-interest... i don't usually like to hurt others' feelings, but a lot of times that means holding back my true self and ideas.. like i'm lying or being fake. but sometimes that is the only way to get by in social settings.
I am kind of like you. I think some people are just very emotional. Some people are a bit more level headed. To the people who are very emotional someone who isnt confuses them and they often reject that person. You cant make someone feel what you feel though and they should not be expected to. I have been interrogated for not crying at sad movies before. I was not sure how to handle it and the person told me I talk too much and that everything I said was irrelevant. Everyone else thought I was awful too but there is no way to change how you feel.
IIN that I have been learning empathy skills from the internet.
