I have children and I do encourage the older one to be more aware of his younger sibling's emotional state. But I hope I treat them equally as they get older. It's hard to say how much empathy is a learned behavior and how much is innate.
It's hard to express just how familiar I am with intuitive type people. So much that it pisses me off at times. And I'm currently in a tiff with a friend who seems to be oblivious of her actions. Her intentions are good but she never seems to think I am capable of seeing things better than her. It's so stupid.
But I have seen the manipulative type. I'm usually pretty good at spotting insincerity but sometimes I get caught up in my own delusions and wishful thinking. But I agree, they are giant wads of dick.
what is real?
