I have AuDHD and ASPD so that being said, I have very low emotional empathy, guilt, and remorse, but I do have excellent cognitive empathy. Apathy is how I am about 80% or 90% of the time and I find it difficult to push through it, but I have many times. I’m lucky enough that I’m naturally super curious too, so I actually like to think about things and the only way I gathered the amount of cognitive empathy that I have and the opinions on specific things that I have, is because I took the time to think about these things and think about HOW I think about these things. When I see things on social media or on the Internet often, I will take time to think about things so I can see where my specific stance is on things. I don’t handle being stagnant well at all. There’s definitely a lot of things I have to kind of force myself to think about because I don’t even think about them because I don’t give a sh!t. But as I said, luckily for me, I am naturally very curious so I do think about things a lot. When it comes to people though, that’s where I struggle the most. Performative interest is super difficult for me to mask. I’m self focused so sometimes I don’t think about others abd have to remind myself to. Befriending people is hard. Cutting people off is easy. I am a very good friend. I’m loyal, dependable, protective, but I’m also apathetic to the person’s life and struggles a lot of the time, which means I have to fake caring about often. People may call me a bad or evil person because of the way my brain works, but I don’t personally think that I am because I actually take the time to think things through and understand myself and the world and choose to be friendly and understanding. I think no matter who you are, the most important thing is to always work on yourself and to push your boundaries. Don’t allow the apathy to keep you stagnant.
