why do i feel like i’ve become empathic so suddenly

[swt]

growing up, and especially highlighting my early-mid teens, i’ve felt like i lacked empathy, i couldn’t feel for what other people felt and would often make humor out of “tragedies”

nowadays i feel so extremely bad when it comes to tragedy, any tragedy, from something small or something heavy like death, i’ve felt this change quite recently. what might’ve changed?

 

[swt]

i feel like it’s very obviously a good thing, but i’m curious to know what happened

It's because you're a good person.

I felt this too recently. I was thinking about how much I hated some people, while looking on into the distance.

The 2 girls who I was angry about (cuz they were loud and are the pinnacle of hypergamous society) asked me if i was okay and initiated small talk with me

I now do the same to others, as I feel that doing that will prevent them from going the path i did.

it might be funny to say, but i feel like this change happened to me after charlie kirk died,

i didn’t even like him that much but seeing his death video i was like damn, then i was looking at his old videos with his wife and kids and i really processed like damn, people all have their backstories, nobody deserves anything tragic, it’s all our first time living

i totally get it

everyone is human, even if you don't care about humanity, treat them as such.

ive been feeling such way towards every living being honestly

i was sitting outside and i saw these wasps, normally i’d grab something to kill them with but i just watched them fly and thought to myself, they’re really just trying to get thru life like anything or anyone else until death reaches them

it’s rough, life is brutal to anyone, so why can’t we all just treat eachother with empathy

Order of humanity. Order of life.

Eat or be eaten
kill or be killed

Sad truth

as much as I want to treat everyone with kindness, sometimes i have no choice to squash the scum like the mosqitoes they are.

Same. I even became left wing and stopped being a nazi

There was a spider in my bathroom and i couldnt kill it. Normally i just take a piece of toiletpaper and squich it to death but this time i decided to let it sit in the corner

All this happened after i stopped taking drugs. When i was still addicted i was a retard who made fun of everything and everyone. I lost all my empathy after 2023 but i think it slowly comes back now
