Second anon in chain here:

yes, this is true. But for those of us with emotionally divergent brains: ie who have to struggle with mental illnesses all our lives, sometimes it is a good thing to hear what those who don't struggle with mental illnesses think like. Our thoughts and anxieties can sometimes get us so far away from healthy emotional/mental responses, that it's kind of a good thing to understand how other people think and respond to a situation.

Though when you're the one hurt, it can often be hard to see this and not cringe away from the harshness of their tone.

Lastly, us tender-bellied lovelies sometimes need to be reminded that most people in the world are aholes who need to be ignored, and who we shouldn't let affect us because they are just that: aholes who need to be ignored.

First anon is probably one of these, even if they did recommend a good solution: talking with someone irl about this.

People are not assholes just for pointing out the truth. Honestly all this 'overempathy' 'tender bellied lovelies' stuff sounds as if y'all just want to believe you're better than everyone else.That anon was giving good advice and saying they should be ignored is of no actual help to OP whatever.

Hey, if the shoe fits. People are aholes for being caustically rude in a way that they know is cruel. first commenter actually even wrote they knew they were being cruel. It takes like 2 seconds to rephrase to be kinder.

People who are superfeelers/emotionally divergent unfortunately feel the highest highs and the lowest lows easier than other people. I never implied that made us better. If anything I actually implied it makes us so much worse bc we can easily be pushed into reaction, and unfortunately there are a lot of people in the world who have and will use this against us. Have you ever had someone abuse you into feeling like shit, bc they knew they could do so with only a couple words? I have. It's horrible. Have you ever literally been emotionally incapacitated by a stranger flippantly being rude to you? I have. It feels like your dying inside. I wish I didn't feel as deeply as I do, it would have made my life easier. It would have made me functional as a fcking human being.

Also, I NEVER said anon should have been ignored. Read my comment again. Wow, can't believe I'm writing to someone who doesn't know how to read.

You can't expect complete strangers to know what you're going through and to bend over backwards to accommodate something they don't even know needs accommodating. A large part of how you handle interactions, both online and irl are on you.

And a note: I have emotional issues, but I don't expect complete strangers to magically know this and treat me like a delicate piece of glass when they don't even know me.
