I have come to accept that I am almost as cold as I am warm, and that empathy is more of a faculty than a disposition. People seem to miss this and treat it as some kind of identitarian fashion accessory. Being high empathy does not mean demonstrating it in every context.

But also, it's sorta tacky to call yourself an empath, specifically, as if to suggest you're some special Chosen Person. Definitely signals *something* being off, most of the time, ä
