Hard agree. This logic applies to so many things in life...
people who worry that they are a burden, vs. people who are happy to take and take
people who worry what others will think of their success, vs. people who will gladly trample others to gain success
etc.
A few months ago, I was SO mad at people acting heartless and cruel online, and ranting about how I didn't understand people, that I seriously questioned myself and actually sought out an online test to see if I myself had psychopath symptoms because I just couldn't understand them. The test said I had high empathy, not low. When I mentioned this on fb, a friend said the same thing you did: people who worry that they aren't being empathetic enough, are probably more empathetic.
That's right.
the people who worry - are the ones who are extremely sensitive. Otherwise, they just wouldn't give a damn.
Your first clue to whether or not you were empathetic - was the fact that you went to take a test! hahahahahaha
and here is the thing I tell people.
I do not want to understand the baddies.
I NEVER want to understand them.
I want to always be CONFUSED by behavior that is so abhorrent to me.
I want to understand the people who are trying, who are lost, who want help, who want to grow.
but i never want to understand the people who just shit all over everyone else.
so i'm with you! LOLOL
Glad this post spoke to you hehehehe
