The content explores the paradoxical nature of empathy, where it can be both a blessing and a burden. Empathy allows the author to deeply understand and connect with others, offering comfort and support. However, this same empathy also leads the author to constantly try to justify and understand the actions of those who have hurt them, even at the expense of their own feelings.
The author describes how, as an empath, they feel the pain of others more than their own, often carrying the weight of others' problems along with their own. This can be draining and exhausting, leaving the author wondering if their empathy makes them weak or too forgiving.
The author struggles with the desire to stop feeling everything so deeply, to give their heart a break, but acknowledges that this is not possible. The content highlights the emotional toll of being an empath and the author's conflicted feelings about their own empathetic nature.
