Not totally unfeeling I guess.
25.01.2026 by Kraneia

Hello! I am new.
I seem to have the best of both worlds..........although it is difficult to feel and express what I am feeling (it has its advantages sometimes--you don't get hurt as much! ;) )... however, I do not have a problem with empathy--if you're upset I can generally pick up on that.

I suspect mine stems somewhat from some PTSD from my teenage years.

Nice to see I'm not the only one.

Yes, I have hyper-empathy, mirror-pain, and mirror-touch, which makes me a "sponge" for others, but I am unable to tell what I personally feel inside... I used to think I was just weird!
