"No it's ok that we tease her, she spelled something wrong or said something the wrong way, so we're allowed. Plus at one point she tried to stick up for herself, and we hate that most of all."

Know what's cool about being empathic? You realize that most of the teasing comes from people's deep insecurities. So I hope the OP knows that and isn't quite so bothered by it.

I'm not insecure, I'm an *kitten*. I mock because it amuses me. It doesn't make me feel better about myself (my ego is already fairly large) but it does make me chuckle.

I'll thank you to not pin such mundane motivations as "Insecurity" (a term often used by the weak and angry to try and bring down those they feel are 'mean' to their level) upon me.

You is a terrible empath.

I don't even think you were in the thread when I made that post.

Thanks for letting me know though. I'll resume not knowing or caring about you in the slightest.

I had posted in the thread before you popped up to play the shame game, but it was more a commentary on the childish claim of "insecurity" than something relating to you specifically. You, after all, are just some person parroting the same junk mommies tell their kids when other kids are mean to them. "You're special and unique and those kids are just insecure!"

It's not about You (I imagine very few things are ever actually about you) it's about that flawed concept and the thick skulled special snowflakes it creates.

But uh. Thanks for coming back and responding and allowing me to elaborate on my commentary. I appreciate your dutiful desire to defend the OP and such. Great vehicle for discussion.

Is anyone on hear Empathic?

If you don't understand it you can use Google.

If the argument being made is "We didn't know what she was talking about, so we mocked her.", guess what? You're being a bully.

I did Google it. The definition was "pertaining to or showing empathy".

That doesn't really describe what the OP was referring to.

I don't get what you're talking about 80% of the time. Would you like it if I responded with a series of Adam Sandler gifs?

It would make your posts much more entertaining.

Hey. You were wrong. It wasn't embarrassed it was 'nervous'. I've got the inside line.

OP, I'll stick with the general consensus that it's hard to distinguish empathetic people who are good at observing body language from what you describe. Often victims of trauma are hypersensitive to the moods and behaviors of others, often without being aware of how or why.

A doctor told me that they can measure the brain chemicals involved in empathy, finding this chemical to be lower in people with antisocial traits and also show it to deplete after long days of using your emotions, causing compassion fatigue and even inability to concentrate. I don't know more than this, no primary source, doc could be FOS.

I wish I could manage my reactions to the emotions of others better. I find my eyes welling up embarrassingly easily the older I get.

Not trolling. Just returning and finding that the people who used to be my friends and fell over themselves sucking up to me when they thought I was "cool" now are equally as happy to tear me down because they think they're superior to other people because they've spent more time on an internet calorie counting forum. Ooh you guys are awesome!

Yeah, you know me. We were friends. I remember when you were new and scared and just hoped someone could help you and be nice to you. Now you've been here awhile, gained some confidence, and you use it to what? Mock other people.

I'm not trolling. Just deeply disappointed.

Boy, do you have me confused for someone else... and if I was friends with someone who couldn't understand the relevance of posting an innocuous Deanna Troi .gif, then I'm sure we would have parted ways at one point...

Wait... unless this is still part of your act. Hmm...

It's a mothereffing mystery! I love mysteries! It says so in my profile that no one can see because I don't want new scared people thinking we can be friends.

Empathy fail!

Yes, I am highly empathic. It sucks sometimes.

Do you pick up on other people's emotions, before they even convey what's wrong with them?

Hell - I dont even pick up on it when they *tell* me ...
