I really like week days because i work so hard and over time and it truly helps not to think about my problems and i socialize with my coworkers and i pretty much feel normal.. now issue is on weekends i really like to sleep and relax.. but that comes with the issue of too much free time = to thinking about my issues, and worrying and basically hardcore SA mode,, its hard not to have a real life friend or something else,, i wish that can change in the near future...

Is empathy a default human emotion?
Or is it something that is only achieved by being taught to feel it for others as you grow up?

This puzzles me because there seems to be such an enormous amount of the population without the ability to feel compassion!?

So, are humans not born with the ability naturally, does it mean they were just not taught it by their parents? Or, do they actively choose not to feel it while still having been born with the ability?

Such a difficult conundrum.:thinking::thinking:

(These is a rhetorical question btw, I am not requiring replies to it, I am just thinking out aloud)......:thinking:

Maybe it is a "sense" that some are taught to hone, while others are taught to ignore it. I'm sure our upbringing has something to do with it, but I'd like to think that it is born in, a natural component to humanity. Maybe more highly developed in some more than others? It's a good question!

Someone please take me away from this place. I don't think I can live like this anymore. I'm not strong enough to keep going.

a lot of people are only interested in what they can get out of you, once your usefulness to them ends ,so does their interest.

I've been trying to grow a moustache and beard for the past three weeks to see how far I'd come if I tried.

The outcome is tragic.

Well that doesn't sound like a stable foundation at all!

It really isn't. It's not perfect, but also not super bad here. The worst of it is in Amsterdam, were some of the older buildings have just sort of given up and started doing a low energy version of The Twist.

Instead of a moustache, why not try growing a mustache instead? You may find it an easier task with fewer letters to worry about.

But I need that extra letter to compensate for the lack of lush fuzz under my schnoz.

I believe it's very much a developed quality, but that even adults can pick up at later stages in their life. People can become compassionate after dealing with a healthy dose of hardship after all, so it's definitely possible.

The opposite also happens, but I feel that's more desensitisation than it is undoing the development.

But then you also have the people that are biologically unable due to brain defects, but they're not really default by any means.

Empathy is an "instinct" concocted by the Disney corporation in 1932, with the intent of subliminal marketing for capital gain. Before the advent of Disney films there was no such thing. The final stage of evolution into modern man did not begin until that point in time.

TALL PEOPLE SHORT WORLD. Knocked my head twice today on different objects that average-height people would not. There is a huge welt on my forehead.

You know those range hoods that go over stoves... WHY? All the time!!! At least once a week. I'm not even going to have one when I build my castle.

When I am rich, no short people will be allowed on my property. Liability. Everything will be inconvenient and unsafe for them.

I relate so much, being five inches shorter would make my life easier. Lol
