Tbh, these days I feel like I’d be better off without it. It’s like the gift that keeps on taking.

I mean, empathy can be biased, it can cloud judgement, be weaponised in many ways, and also lead to compassion fatigue. What's the context here?

Masamoon @masamoon.bsky.social

If you’re response to “when did being kind to people become controversial?” Is “well what do you mean? Sometimes being nice screws you over”, you might be part of the problem lol. Or at the very least, affected by whatever the problem is.
