Egotistic or unheard?

It's different with me Fried.
I really bleed for people and feel pity for anyone suffering. I always think of how sad peoples' trials must make them feel and often I think that them knowing me or worse, feeling in some way responsible for me, is also a disagreeable burden.
I do try and make their lives easier if it's within my small range, but I'd never be capable of making a real difference to anyones life though.

I agree. I'm too wrapped up in my own thoughts to even think about anybody elses. I need all my energy to cheer myself up nevermind anybody else. It's not intentional, I just haven't got the head-space for anything else. Too drained to care.

Sounds kind of strange, but not too unlike myself.

I feel extreme sympathy for close friends and family, perhaps too much at times. And I am often very generous and selfless towards these people. But anyone outside of my "circle" I have little to no sympathy for. I couldn't care less if they dropped dead. I can understand what people are going through, and understand their feelings, but often times, I just don't care.

I'm not really sure why that is, perhaps I have more than one personality disorder/issue.

i have exactly the same problem in trying to empathize with people. and i have little to no patience for anyone stupid. so i go for really long periods asking myself why im so snappy with people and why im so nasty. no matter how many kind things i do for people though i always feel like this.
last month i sent an fairly recent graphics card to some random person i met online, for free. i had upgraded and so i just didnt care - if it makes someone happy, fine. i was going to atleast charge him for shipping but cant be bothered. he lives in jamaica and myself in UK.

i ask myself, ###$, no one ever did that for me when i had no money.

my friends and family tried to make profits from me when i needed help.. but i can PAY to GIVE expensive things away for free - and still feel bad about myself. yay. wtf?
