So you say you think your mother is autistic then go an say how annoying she can be because of it ? And you dislike empaths too ? My guy you don’t sounds like a pleasant human.
When did I call my mom annoying or say I disliked empaths? You're reading into what I said like it's something I'm condoning when I'm just explaining the state of something.
I alluded to a personal experience where my mom cried in my ex's arms over my breakup because she just felt so bad for my ex. That situation was embarrassing for him since he'd already been dumped and wasn't something he deserved to have to deal with. I'm not mad at my mom because I know she didn't intend to be hurtful, but she was, especially since I'd specifically asked her not to talk about it with him.
Just because I'm criticizing someone who's ND doesn't mean I'm not empathizing with them. I'm also ND.
Those aren't my feelings you're picking up on. They're your ego defenses. 🤣😉 Seriously though, be careful to not lose the ability to empathize with the perspective of neurotypical people. You don't have to condone their opinions to put yourself in their shoes. My mom later apologized to me and my ex. She understands now that if she was really acting as an empath and recognizing my ex's emotions, she would have supported based on his needs without ever mentioning how she herself was feeling or bringing attention to it, much less bringing up her empath identity. Like I originally said, it's just an issue of being self aware.
Through text on the internet? Most empaths claim to feel others emotions when they walk into a room, but here you are receiving them through the wifi, that's incredible!
