I was unaware that being an empathetic person required any effort.
It requires far more effort than hatred to maintain a self capable of empathy. For many, they feel it is an insurmountable challenge to come to terms with the people they are and the actions they’ve committed.
That's weird because it requires no effort on my part to be empathetic.
Doesn't it though?
Do you not see your internal suffering by seeing other people suffering as work? You could force yourself to stop caring and then you wouldn't have to carry that weight off other's suffering.
No, I don't see it as work. It doesn't require any additional effort on my part. It takes more effort for me to not care.
as i have told those around me repeatedly, i am fundamentally incapable of not feeling empathy all the time, it's fucking miserable
I dont think I could
I totally understand; I think many of us kinda choose to ignore/accept the cost of maintaining an empathetic perspective, simply because we are unwilling to accept the alternative.
But everyone walks their own path! In any case, I applaud your way of thinking.
