Pieces like this annoy me because they always omit anything negative about the poor woobie feelings-haver's actions.

Of course everyone else will seem heartless if you portray the entire world as wholly unreasonable people that are mad about 'someone having lots of feelings' instead of all the significantly missing actions the main character took and demands they made and things they imposed on others about those feelings, because it's always assumed 'felt too much = could not help but act'.

And that's just not true.

Yes!

I understand people have Big Feelings or are Highly Sensitive but you are still responsible for your own feelings and actions. I feel like a lot of the people I know who have ended up emotionally manipulative abusers use The Cat type of excuses. Like they couldn't help themselves, they're just a Highly Sensitive Empath.

When falling in love with someone who isn't interested, chasing them around gushing affection, and having your affections not be returned was portrayed as quote, 'asking too much' and not 'being rejected normally like everybody else' or 'actually being a bit of a creeper' it was like oh no, alarm bells

Ugh, I hate the whole empath thing. Every single person I know who's described themselves as an empath are either:

1) super sensitive woobies who view anything that isn't 100% gushing support as abusive criticism and who use their sensitivity as an excuse for everything

2) people who believe that other people need to handle their hurt feelings like they're made of glass, but who couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone else's feelings and behave accordingly

#2 especially for me. Everyone I've met who describes themselves as an empath fundamentally lack actual empathy.

This. Having lots of feelings isn't a problem. The actions people take because of those feelings is usually what's causing the problem, and then people rationalize it because FEEEEEEEEEELINGS.
