theres also a huge misconception that empathy is just "feeling bad for someone" when thats literally not what it is. sympathy and empathy are nowhere near the same

The older I get, the less patience I have for people who call themselves “empaths”.
Sometimes being sensitive to people’s emotions just means… being sensitive to people’s emotions.
It doesn’t mean you care more than others or that you’re a “better person”.
Empathy is a basic trait - not a cudgel.
