I've never been particularly empathetic. But guess what I learned from a Myers Briggs test a couple of years back? That I AM AN EMPATH. As in like 2% of the population.

My point isn't about me, but it is about how a rare empath could be so hampered by life that their empathy is diluted to almost nothing? To the extent that they have no knowledge of it? Thankfully, I am a totally different person today. But if society can dim the love of a true empath, some poor nice guy out there doesn't stand a chance. Sad.
