      I'm sure you know that if people call themselves a few word they're usually lying or pretending.
      There's been people that say they're confident, I'm a nice person, I'm not a racist, I'm a strong person.
      It's better to act confident than to share with people that your a confident person.

    Secondary edit: The trend ticked me off, not Optimus (Oh. He said it a million times quicker than me as soon as I unpaused.)As someone who loves psychology and is *ACTUALLY* what is considered an empath in psychology, this ticks me off. Being an empath is less of actually being some mortal Jesus of a person when it comes to feeling for people, and more about being hypersensitive. This can have the side effect, however, of making you more able to pick up on subtle cues, hence being more easily capable of realizing what someone is feeling. Some people the fall into the HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) category *are* genuinely great people, but some are absolute monsters. It may be called empath, but it is more about heightened sensitivity than heightened empathy. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, aka the rant of someone who has science as their hyperfixation.

    also, as someone with a brain: No, you cannot call empathy a "personality" it's also a human trait, that allows you to connect with other humans easier. It can make you wary of people, or it can make you trust people. Empathy is quite literally judging people and your proud of that?

    I was under the assumption that empathy was how when you look at someone who’s wounded, you kinda cringe because you can kinda feel the pain too. Everyone can feel that right? I mean unless you’re a psychopath, I would assume you’d easily be able to feel emotions that other people around you are feeling. You can’t help but smile if you see someone else smiling or feel the pain when you see someone getting kicked in the nuts. Doesn’t make you special just because you know what that emotion is called. The irony here is that these people on TikTok are incapable of detecting the cringe that other people feel when they’re in these peoples’ presence. Additionally, hating popular people is the opposite of feeling empathy. Wouldn’t an empathetic person feel happy for the person who gets attention since it’s a positive thing? There’s a different between empathy and reading people’s minds but it’s hilarious that the people who claim to be able to do the latter are incapable of both.

People believed them back then when they described that.

    My god, the internet just continues to show the most brain melting people everyday. Empathy is NOT a superpower, it's an emotion that anyone can feel because it's a basic emotional expression based on experience and human interaction.
    What these "empaths" don't get is that it's just a higher level of pity. It goes *pity* > *sympathy* > *empathy* > *compassion* there's nothing special about being able to do that unless there's something chemically wrong with your brain.
    *Pity* is just acknowledging someone's suffering, like when strangers go "poor you" while they go on about their day. It's the simplest, and least emotionally attached, form of expression of the four. All pity does is acknowledge someone's experience and that's it.
    *Sympathy* is when you care about someone's suffering but can't relate on a mental or emotional level, like when a friend sympathizes with you about personal experience. They can't relate to it personally but, because they care about you, they can sympathize on a more base level and provide basic comfort.
    *Empathy* is where you can actually relate to a person's pain, either emotionally or through experience, something these failures seem to not understand. If you and another person both lose your mothers then that's a pain you can 'feel' the other person going through based on personal experience. Along the same line, some married men can also experience some of the pregnancy pains their wives feel while carrying despite not being able to get pregnant themselves. That's because they can understand the pain they're going through on an emotional level. Empathy is about understanding the other person and why they're feeling the way they do, nothing special about it.
    *Compassion* is the final form of pity and the most proactive version. You see a lot of compassion in the day to day like when you give money to a homeless person, or you rescue an injured animal. It's acting on the other three forms by trying to actively help another person and their personal experiences by looking for solutions.
    Having any of these traits is nothing new but being informed, and constantly practicing them, will help you grow as a person. These people seem to lack any empathy by being so frivolous about what these words mean and continuously spreading misinformation. I guess they can't relate to being lied, and manipulated, to by the internet. How very un-empathetic of them.

And putting your letters together makes empathy much easier. My grandfather, who I don't think has even told me the full story, made it easy to sympathize and then told me how it made him feel, and I felt similar things before so I was able to string it together what the emotion was when he was gambling, hoping for the big win. If you have a homie who was homeless at some point and he explains what it felt like and you string together from your own emotions and get a good picture, that could be empathy, maybe, but yeah you won't get empathy from looking at someone or having a 30 second conversation with them.

    What's funny is that an "empath" is usually a fantasy ability where the person can know what someone is feeling through touch but it's usually a lot more than just being able to read people's emotions

    The ironic part is that you end up empathizing with the empaths. Being fatherless must be a hard thing, but something about it makes them all flock to TikTok.

    The way they use the word energy is making me die inside. “I give my energy back to you.”
    I kinda get what they want to say (it’s pretty dumb) but I can’t stop plugging in “The ability/capacity to do work.” whenever they say energy. Like… what energy? Gravitational potential? Kinetic? Chemical? Thermal?

    The whole "the guy that everybody likes must not be that great" reminds me of a gumball scene where he tries to destroy someone's life to prove is not such a good guy,and nobody calls him an empath

    "Empath" just seems like someone who is high in personality traits of agreeableness and neuroticism. Thinking that that makes you special is just narcissism from people with low self-esteem

    Most real empaths feel a bit cursed most of the time, because if they hang around toxic people too much, it either makes them anxious, or it makes them aggressive for a while which if they are normally gentle, makes them feel regret.
    It's not easy to sort out the emotions you feel, if you are crowded by other people, hence why most have severe anxiety

    The funny thing is...they have no idea what empaths even are. Empaths are just people with a heightened sense of empathy (sometimes to a degree so high that it makes basic day-to-day life difficult, because they over-empathize with other people to the point that it may actually become a detriment to their own selves.) "Empaths meeting the nice girl everyone talks so highly of [and not liking her because she's not as nice as everyone believes]" isn't how empaths work. That's just being capable of "reading the room" so to speak. That's not what an empath is.

    The funny thing is that the definition of an empath is basically being able to understand and put yourself in others shoes easily, not mind reading. The issue is that these people could be doing something with their life instead of boasting about basic human emotions. Nobody starts “special,” so these people need to make themselves special. Pick up something and work at it, if you become great at something, it will make people believe you are special.
