to some extent, i do believe in ontological evil.
that's why i'm so bothered by the concept of "empathy courses" and so on.
i know how i operate. i also know that the best thing i can do is isolate.
you cannot ever make me like you. i will never care about your plight. if i deem your problems self-inflicted, my immediate response is to tell you to flounder.
i understand this, so i choose to cut people off and not participate in social functions. still, i'm called selfish for it.
i'm expected to swallow my disgust in favor of protecting the feelings of the majority.
i truly don't know if i can go on like this.
