Someone people genuinely lack empathy and it’s terrifying

here’s the thing i don’t get: people tell you to communicate your feelings, and then react negatively when you feel something they don’t think you should.

i’m ill in six different directions: my feelings are mostly negative and generally illogical. i get upset for reasons that i know don’t matter in the bigger scheme of things. but i can’t express that anger or hurt, because then people think that i am selfish, and entitled, and a bad friend. on the other hand, though, i’m also bad at hiding my feelings, and saying you’re okay when you clearly aren’t is also rude. so it’s just a constant struggle between “how much can i say to make this person feel that i’m answering truthfully, without them deciding i’m a selfish asshole.”

people tell me that you can’t rationalize away your emotions, and then react with disgust when i can’t do that for “the things that matter.” i’m upset. i know i shouldn’t be, i’m upset that i’m upset, but you sitting there judging me isn’t exactly going to help the situation. i know that whatever’s going on with my friends is more important than how it affects me. but then what does selflessness look like? is it not being upset in the first place, or is it just hiding your expression of your hurt? am i incapable of being a good friend because i can’t keep myself from feeling things i shouldn’t?

i just don’t get people sometimes. it’s like everyone has a rulebook for what’s allowed, and they just forgot to give me a copy. i get told communicate, communicate, communicate, over and over, and everyone forgets to mention what i’m meant to be conveying. because sometimes it really seems that what they want isn’t the truth.

Did you think that you were sneaky when you went behind my back? Why couldn't you just leave me? I could've gotten over that

I should be paid 1 million dollars everytime I see a really bad post and suppress the urge to write a 938484 page rant about it. even though it is so so bad.

Do you ever look at someone and think "It's gonna hurt so much when we (inevitably) stop being friends"?

[duelpawn]

Trying to educate yourself and being insulted for it really shows how important it is for us minorities not to receive well meaning people with such hostility, because god is it discouraging 💥💥

we have this discourse every week aren’t you fucking Tired

idk. just. for me “this particular character is written in a way that often makes her come across as unsympathetic, and intentional or not that’s fucked up” feels like a way more interesting, and productive, conversation to have than “if you don’t like this character then you’re a bigot.” especially because we have the “if you don’t like this character then you’re a bigot” conversation Fucking Constantly (about this particular character and about other characters) and for some people (definitely not everyone, but some people) it comes across as wanting an excuse to be mean more than it does as any sort of drive for justice, or compassion for other people, or anything of that sort.

and, like, i’m well aware that getting individual fans to look at things with more nuance is at least sometimes possible, while yelling at a major company over a ten-year-old piece of media isn’t going to do anything. i’m not proposing a solution or anything. i am just. so fucking tired of discourse.
