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.
IIN that I have been learning empathy skills from the internet.
