Hey thank you for the reply i appreciate it
ahh okay so it's like a foreign language to them. That makes so much sense i have experienced that with my BPD friend where she almost blames you for the way she feels. It's always someone else's fault instead of her taking a look at the common denominator (herself) in all the problems she deals with.
You have evidence that empathy is something they lack that's interesting i never knew that i thought they just didn't want to show empathy or wanted to be center of attention in the conversation topic if you get me.
Thank you again
