If you can - does this tend to prevent you from hurting others or not?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I can, but not when someone is actively masking, which happens often enough, we're on a stage after all. However, I've met a few people unable to mask anything, it's a double-edged sword, it can feel agreeable or terrible, depending on how they feel.

Update: Prevent hurting? Why asking, you already know the answer lol

I can only imagine how I might feel in similar circumstances. And yes, this does tend to prevent me from hurting others. It doesn't always lead me to helping those in need.

Instinctively only in certain circumstances. Otherwise I'm drawing oh prior experience or guessing. But generally I don't empathize enough to read it

[Agape93]

But to answer, no not really. Certain things will. make me pause and not hurt someone but I don't have that as a general instinct

[TrueConfection]

Yes, sometimes I can feel them. No, it's not what prevents me from hurrying others.

I am more empathetic than I would like to be. The women on GAG will laugh to read this, but I am very aware of the feelings of those around me.

I don't know! I can project how I'd feel in the same circumstances onto other people, though.

i tend to hurt people no matter what i do. i can't help it.

[msc545]

You can help it. You may not want to.

[Sevenpointfive]

i do want to, but i can't. i learned it from my father.

Can I be empathetic? Sure
