aren't we all broken in some way, at this point? we're here in MFP chit chat, for god's sake.

Too true. But I think I missed my calling in life. I should have become a psychologist

I have thought this at times, but I would be a wreck of a human if I had gone that route. It would tear me to shreds to have to hear everyone's horror stories.

Good Morning everyone...

OK. This is just weird. Barely 1 page of activity in 24 hours. I'm use to coming in and wading through 3-4 pages between the afternoon and evening. Is everyone having connection issues? I certainly did yesterday, but this has been going on for a few days now.

You are probably right. Even having gone through my own horror story and living with two narcissists, I still have buckets of trust and empathy. It doesn't make me a very good judge of character

Empathy can be a great trait, but when you have too much it can be a curse.
I've lived with a narcissist too. It's not a good situation and I think they see an empathetic nature and take extreme advantage

Still, I'd rather be overly empathic than psychopathic

So very true. It often makes me feel run down and depressed.

C'mere bb!

Are there men who are empathetic? It seems like there aren't many.
And no PLEASE don't send me PMs telling me how much you want to feel. I just want to know if there are men who are more on the feeling side of things and will listen and understand or maybe, I don't know, try to understand.

The way you are defining empathy does not describe me despite that I'm compassionate and have an above average amount of concern for others. I'm the opposite of apathetic, but that doesn't mean I am willing to go out of my way to listen to everyone. Instead, I see things at a more 'summary / overview level' and typically in media or hearing from others. I feel for others many times without knowing the individuals, which makes it less damaging to me personally.

I think I am a magnet for the broken. Even online. Oh well. Such is mid-life

no question that i am

Me too.

I tend to attract people that identify as being on the spectrum. That's interesting and often frustrating.

The board is generally REALLY quiet. Maybe the login and not a robot confirmation prompt is affecting forum activity.

I've barely read the main board, so am uncertain if drama erupted on one of the threads.

I deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times and it kept telling me my login was wrong....
I used the app for the first time in about 1.5 days, about 2 hrs ago. Haha
