So I was testing to see if I had empathy today(to make sure I wasn't a psycho/sociopath), and when I looked at pictures of a crying anime kitten, I felt bad and had the impulse to hug it. I felt the same today when I read a post about someone's mom dying and for an abandoned cat too.
Is this empathy? I hope it is, I don't want to be a psycho/sociopath or animal torturer! Last edited by bluekoi; Apr 29, 2020 at 07:59 PM. Reason: Change text to black to make readable. |

Yes, absolutely. This is empathy.

 I find my empathy(as in putting myself in other's shoes) fleeting at times, and I hope I can love others. Though, that urge to cuddle and comfort cute, fluffy animals both IRL and anime + other cute things is always there though. I hope i'm not a sociopath, as I am kind to others all the time + I am not a manipulative, violent, liar. I used to lie but I stopped leing now. I just want to feel remorse, sympathy, love, and empathy! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
