Lack of empathy caused… ? me to seek more in younger years (by chance?)–grew uncannily selfishness… Had unhealthy single mother that also kinda suffered same thing.

I’m not completely heartless, so my punishment therefore is, through a constant lack of discipline and pride, see pain, hurt, etc., but do little about it. But CONFUSING FACTOR = living with people with iron shells, yet one person has come around that is finally effected… it’s getting to him.

Everyone seems to blame themselves [due to other’s lack of personness] for “taking it personally” or, whatever–it skews the truth. It’s a combination of me getting away with it, lies, and not even knowing, and when truth gets out, it’s finally likely too late and THINGS HAVE GONE DOWN.

We’re so lacking in understanding you give enough of it to some women and they’re practically willing to marry you on the spot, lol–uncannily hurting themselves in the process because they let all their guards down and it’s like, “No no no! I’m not THAT great!” Yeaah… You show a little understanding, people drop their guards, practically, and then get hurt again.

Childish not childlike. It’s isn’t NECESSARILY “narcissism” or selfishness in some people’s case (that some people MIGHT blame them for due to their own lack of empathy… ‘you’re not caring about me enough’)… It’s a combination of those who actually need empathy and those who want it, and them getting intermixed.

I don’t want it; I might need a little (realistically, empathy for others should be 24/7); I can give a little, but not enough. Pride (I’m cocky), separation (albeit forunately I still live with family… I’m just 19), and lack of discipline. WE CAN’T HELP EACH OTHER WITH OUR PROBLEMS cause we can’t help ourselves, or other people can’t help us to help other people.

I’ve been kinda unconsciously immature until ~ age 17, and since then have rushed my maturity using Catholic and modern psychology intermixed. My right reason is half-baked.

THIS EVEN COMES DOWN TO parents not having parents, and then future parents (kids) not having parents… Cause I can’t grandfather my mother. (Strictly theoretically, I really could.)

The problem with one fella in my life is he’ll give give give but no one will give back… and no one’s even seemingly aware or even cares (thanks for letting us use you . . we’ll move on with our life now)… He’s unpurposefully a lone ranger. And his own skepticism (of even himself) fights him too… He has no one to talk to! Maybe he gives too much to people who accept too little, and lacks wisdom in this sense I suppose. “Don’t cast your pearls before swine”? (but check to see if they are pearls and they are swine)

Forgot-to-include note:
And finally, me not treating others with dignity appropriate to their position which is essential to take into account.
And please, no one say anything like “Yeah, that moderation” or “Yeah, that superiority/inferiority/equal thing” (lol, whatever that meant) – which is actually a good point, because everyone actually seems to think these days that they’re a “superior” because if they’re not, they “have an inferiority complex” … gah…
