I'm sitting with someone who lacks all empathy, can NEVER put themselves in someone else's shoes. If this person hasn't personally experienced said situation or emotion, it doesn't exit, and anyone they hear about who is experiencing it, is stupid, an idiot, weak, faking, being dramatic, on drugs, attention seeking, etc.
Postpartum depression.... attention seeking
prenatal nausea.... faking, it's just not that bad
depression.... lazy, selfish
hyperemesis... dramatic attention seeking
ptsd.... only military gets that, and they're mostly being dramatic and attention seeking
vets with severe ptsd who kill themselves or their families.... selfish, dramatic
this week's empathy-anemic critical judgementalism.... celebrity suicides.
Apparently someone rich and famous who suicides, is stupid, selfish, and dramatic. And must be on drugs.
My reply: having money and fame doesn't make them immune to mental illness, it just means they can buy more and nicer stuff while they have it.
No response to that. Typical
FFS why is it that people assume the rich and famous somehow get a pass on all the shit that life throws at the rest of us peons?
And why do people think they get an opinion on someone else's pain and suffering, just because they're rich and famous? Because of course, that R&F person gave compete disclosure to the rest of the planet about the minutia of their life.
Why can't people just say it's tragic, and that person must have been in unbearable pain to take such a drastic an irreversible action?
And why the f*ck can't this person have any empathy, ever? That can't possibly be normal. How do you go through life completely lacking the basic ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes for even a moment?
And turn off the f*cking hypercritical judgementalism. I get it, everyone else in the entire world is wrong at all times, can never do anything right, never puts in the right amount of effort, looks wrong, acts wrong, comes from the wrong place. Blah, blah, blah. Your worshipfullness is the only person on the planet who is ever right. Well, why don't you abandon humanity then, and go find yourself another planet where you don't have to put up with the rest of us imperfects? I'm sure Uranus is looking for a resident Queen Shit.
