Losing empathy?
Does anyone else worry that they’re losing empathy?? I have real events that I’ve been obsessing over and feeling upset over for a long time and sometimes my head will tell me I don’t care or that I would do it again and stuff and it feels so real. But right after I’ll be like no no no I would never think that or feel that way. And sometimes I just feel like I feel nothing. Like I’ll see something sad and I just don’t feel anything and it makes me feel like why am I not crying?? Why am I not feeling upset in my body like in my chest and stuff like I should or would have other times? I’ve even had thoughts that I wouldn’t care if loved ones died and I’ve worried like what if that actually happened and I felt nothing or would just be making myself feel sad? I know it’s not true in my heart. I just feel like I’ve become so selfish and self absorbed worrying about things in my head all day. I worry I’m a narcissist. I think I’m just burnt out. I don’t sleep well anymore and my entire day is worrying. I think my body doesn’t have the energy to cry or anything but I still worry. None of the thoughts I have lately align with how I truly feel. So many mean thought criticizing loved ones and everything. I never ever ever used to have thoughts criticizing anyone’s appearance or anything like that prior to all of this. It’s too much.
