I think me having too much empathy kinda sucks. I was watching a show with my fam about the contestants trying to prove they’re not “dumb” and my brother made a comment saying how stupid one of the contestant’s answers was. I felt bad for the person and was like “well, they’re on that show for a reason,” and thought he was being serious. So maybe I just interpret things as always serious rather than having too much empathy then(?) because he explained to me that he was just making a joke. Ik it sounds stupid and it was just a small comment i made but i do things like that all the time and i don’t know why or how to stop myself before i say stupid shit. I wish i didn’t take things so seriously.
