How do I stop being empathetic and compassionate

[TheHatedOne]

As the title says, how do I stop being empathetic, compassionate and overall kind since most humans don't deserve it and act like shit towards me no matter what? I was always the hypersensitive idiot that gets attached quickly, this causing me a lot of suffering. A LOT. Even in the present I'm suffering because of this. I want to become cold, emotionless and indifferent to humanity. No matter how much I tried, even through isolation, it didn't work. I'm desperate. My days are counted yet here I am, still getting hurt because of my shitty undesirable traits.

I think that the fact you're so empathetic and compassionate is admirable beyond words. We need more people like you in this world. I'm not just saying that, I swear to God we need more of that.


Please don't change. It's ok to take a step(or 10) back from being super outgoing and giving to others, especially when they're not even grateful for it. But please don't change into one of those people whom you despise so much(I do too).

Please take it easy and do what's best for yourself in the meantime. Don't give so much to those who treat you like crap. But I promise you that people like you make a positive difference in this world.

I wish you the best.

I can't help but wanting to become one, that's how you suffer less and humanity is beyond repairing anyways.

Please don't throw away your empathy. I tried and it lead me to a dark place that only made my emotional health worse. Try to do your best to avoid contact with people that hurt you. No one has a right to your time or efforts.

I do completely understand where you're coming from. Honestly, I'm in a similar state of mind with humanity. But I think it's important to remain good and compassionate/empathetic, even through all of this world's bull crap.

I'm not saying to go out of your way to help unappreciative jerks or anything like that. But please don't stoop to their level. But it's important to prioritize your mental health. So perhaps taking a step back is a good idea.

you could always try drugs i know from experience the power drugs can have on your world view they rewire brain chemistry mdma ecstasy ketamine pills, becareful tho they can cause psychosis effects can last a couple of weeks or many years all depends on how it effects you, they can make you feel invincible.

a mind that is stretched by new experiences can never go back ot its old dimensions

I've been there, especially when younger, where there are so many mean people around and a person can't seem to connect with nice people who value these traits- in situatons like these, at least for me, I can see thaqt there were some nice people mixed in but there were really mean, manipulative people who were able to redirect me away from the nicer people- I didn't have the social skills to overcome this because home was mianly yelling, screaming, swearing, and being ignored, so I couldn't learn how to carry on most normal conversations. It might be worth it to try to find people who value these traits, such as by volunteering, especially by volunteering with people who help animals, such as at an animal shelter. If you connect with people who are united around a good cause these traits could really help you.

You should see it us a gift. I was given the same gift of sensitivity too and we experience life intensely which is good when postive things happen. Unfortunately, energy vampires latch onto us and dump their shit on us. The clue is to find ways to protect you otherwise sensitivity will control you. Start by being kind to YOU because my experience tells me that empathic people always put themselves last. You cannot change but you can control emotions. . Peace❤

Please don't stop being compassionate and empathetic!!! Do you realize how few people there are on this shitty planet that have none of these qualities? These qualities make you who you are - you are unique, special and so precious.

From a buddhist point of view, attachment is the root of your suffering, not your empathy. You said it yourself, even.
The art is to be ready to feel, and act accordingly as long as it is in your power. If you mentally get stuck there, without being able to act in a way that expresses your emotions, you just create suffering for yourself. Let the things be if you cannot change them.

A different point of view could be of self-love. When you love yourself, you will not get down the drain just because you feel a connection to someone else.
But is a heart of stone an expression of self-love?
Life becomes empty without emotion. You just trade one bad with it's opposite, which is equally bad.
