It’s almost like we spent millions of years evolving as social communal animals. Almost like we evolved …wait for it…

Empathy. /gasp
We’re not very good at it. Lots of ways our empathy systems can be hacked.
Take the Kuleshov effect where a broodily staring man is edited with a secondary image which completely changes most people’s reading of the internal feeling of the person.
It’s not a perfect system.
“I’m an empath” a.k.a. I’m so stupid that I think reading body language requires supernatural powers
Or you have bpd.
Obviously not “you” as in the commenter I’m responding to
As far as I’ve been told, that’s an extension of their inability to regulate emotions. They aren’t more in tune with other’s emotions, but rather, their emotional responses to other’s emotions is stronger than the average person.
People with bpd aren’t sensing other people’s emotions more, they are reacting to it more due to their dysregulation.
If what they’re reacting to is even real in the first place.
Until you spend an entire life consciously having to process emotions and you’re right more often than not.
I sort of have this… but its not supernatural.
It’s just my autistic quirk of adopting personality traits of people around me… I’ve heard it called Chameleoning
I got my super power from an abusive childhood 😎
Join the club.
The problem with chameleoning is that it sometimes takes a while to calibrate when meeting a stranger for the first time, so you’re just confused. It can also be overwhelming when meeting with multiple strangers at the same time.
That sounds less like an empath and more like a cop. They know everything you’re thinking within 5 seconds
And are NEVER wrong once their decision is made. No mistakes ever.

As an empath, I emph that you are feeling… annoyed with me.
Until you look at the news and get depressed af then misuse your medications trying to keep the sadness under control
Hey now, nobody is perfect.
