i don't mean to refer to experiences that may be due toany condition outside of PTSD.
I have been through some experiences lately that have been very hurtful. Plus trauma. I'm finding myself very dead inside when someone expressed empathy towards me offline. Online I can connect to it, oddly. But someone showing genuine feelings of empathy are at best uncomfortable and at worst just feels like..: nothing. Like they might as well be describing the weather. If they express compassion for my dog, any dog, others, I can emotionally connect to that easily. But to myself I just don't feel anything. I feel piles of empathy for others, no issues there. I simply can't take it in.
It's a little concerning.
