#low empathy

anyone wanna show each other the perfect amount of attention and space until the end of time

sometimes i feel like a mirror for others. there's not much to reflect on when no one's there. only what's in front of me. most disappointment is internal. i can't swim that well after all

constantly struggling with identifying the difference between my want for attention, entertainment, or some abstract form of love. perhaps i confuse the former two for the latter. i like to think they can co-exist in the same space

i have no empathy but i try my best to help my loved ones when theyre struggling but it often times just comes out really awkwardly and it frustrates me so is there any tips you folk who also struggle with this can give me as ways to comfort others when there isnt really a way to.. i guess make the problem go away??? idk. like i can do physical affection as comfort sometimes when theres a problem i cant fix, that feels more natural to me than any sort of word of comfort, but i cant do that all the time ofc and just. help. i want to make the people in my life feel better when they are sad, i want to help them, but idk i just freak out and get. awkward. kinda.

i get embarrassed at my vent posts sometimes but i will keep them on here to remind myself how temporary my feelings are
