Yes, this can be true especially for personality disorders when shows like Dexter, Criminal Minds, and Hannibal are popular now. However, I'm talking about grown thirty somethings. Like I said I know I should "unfollow" or not let it get to me, but sometimes I just get irritated. Plus just in everyday life, sometimes I find my empathy can run short on certain types of people. For example, I totally understand that everyone has bad days. I can empathize with someone who got a flat tire and was late to a meeting at work. I'll listen. I'll empathize. If I know you, trust, and have a few extra bucks I'd be willing to loan out a few extra bucks, if you are having difficulty in financing the new tire. However, if you the person is seriously going to brood all day long and take it out on others. Then complain, that there life is so horrible over this. They have it so bad yada yada. Life is unfair. No one struggles as hard as them. I'm going to lose patience after like two hours honestly.
