Avatar you should be happy that you feel, even if at times its sadness and depression. I can watch someone hurt and sad and feel nothing, you get to have some empathy and feel others hurts and emotions where as I only feel my own. My ways really aren't that great. I create my own paths at all times, drive people around me nuts and never get affected because of this. It would probably be ok to be able to look at someone and see the pain their in even if I caused it and be able to understand fully and make a difference to do better. Many of my emotions are based on music, music makes me feel things and understand feelings better than anything else (as weird as that may sound). You see if you were a narc you would only care about yourself and work at everything just for the way you are perceived. It's a curse really, sure I can joke and make light of all my dark but really I am a broken person. We are people who are only concerned for our own playbooks. It's really not as great as I always make it sound. This here is real. Be happy your miserable and not like "us". Trust me it's better!!! Now I want my hugs!!!!!!
Also this will be in my book ha ha ha
Underground, that breaks my heart...I'm sorry that you are trapped within yourself. It must be awful. The fact that you want to feel empathy seems like evidence to me that you are still a good person. You lack a skill, not a heart.
