High empathy sucks cause when you understand why people are the way they are you realize most people aren't truly evil they're just dumb and incapable of viewing the world outside of their own experiences which makes it hard to truly hate them even if they are ugly inside.
People don’t realize that you can actually push someone so far that they no longer want anything to do with you anymore. This applies to friendships, relationships, or even family. Sometimes, people assume that because you love them, whether as a friend, partner, or family member you will continue to tolerate anything, disrespect, neglect, hurtful actions , lack of effort, or emotional stress.
Everyone has limits, and there is only so much one person can take before they choose peace over connection.
Even the most patient, kind-hearted person can reach their breaking point. When someone continuously feels unappreciated, misunderstood, or mistreated, they can reach a place where they emotionally disconnect. And once someone emotionally disconnects, it is very hard to repair that relationship.

Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.
@StodehTV Honeslty, i think its a very good game, but for now its only some locations before vostok, that honestly is scaring me so much because if you die in vostok, you'll lose save. Still waiting for more locations!
Kinda frustrating how people who i always helped in their asks and just had a nice time with them, not texting you, if you're wasn't first who texted. I am not crying but it is really feel bad when nobody just cares about you even as friend. Painful.
Trauma didn’t give me strength.
It gave me trust issues.
Panic attacks.
A hyperaware brain that won’t shut off.
It gave me nights I couldn’t sleep.
Relationships I couldn’t maintain.
And a body that flinches at safety because it doesn’t recognize it.
My trauma didn’t teach me resilience.
It taught me fear.
It taught me to be small.
To apologise for existing.
To expect love to hurt.
And I’m still unlearning all of it.
Most introverts are kind, low key, and super nice people. But if you hurt them, and if you betray their sense of safety and trust, they can cut you off and walk away just like that. They will go into self protection mode. Without even saying a word. Just don’t mistake their kindness for weakness. They may be silent, but they are strong.
