I sometimes wish that I was not as sensitive to peoples pain and hurts. I can’t watch the news and I barely watch any tv. If an advertisement comes on showing pain, starving children, animal abuse etc. I have to turn it off immediately. It affects me for days. Anyone else feel that way, or just me?

@gregscloud1 It does affect me. It does give me great pain. But I'm one of those people who consider it a duty to the lost, the hurt, the aggrieved, the abused, to not turn away from their pain.

I'm a watcher. It is my duty and purpose to look at things that others must turn away from. So I am designed in a way that allows me to handle it. I do it because not everyone else can.

Just like there are people who can do what I cannot, and I must trust them to be there where I can't.

@AskTheDevil @gregscloud1

It hurts, but I cannot - not look. I think that is what made me a good anti social worker. 🙃 Not really antisocial, but kind of am these days.

@gregscloud1 @AskTheDevil

I am not clinically antisocial. 😉

Isolation is more of an act of self preservation at times, for me.

@CajunBlueAZ1 @AskTheDevil yes, that’s me too. If I have to go out, I can and do. But I think things and people are different. Okay I’m sounding paranoid, I’m not. But I chose to have peace if that makes sense. I can’t handle drama or judge mental people, and now I. Trying to not soind like I’m judging the people who are judging others. It’s a crazy life lol.
