One of my biggest strengths is also my weakness. I have great empathy with people who are struggling and suffering. I care a lot. Its a beautiful quality to have and to see the difference in people when they know someone cares deeply and not just that but also someone who understands deeply. But the weakness comes with what it can do to me emotionally, especially when no matter what I do isnt enough to help, when a situation seems hopeless, when someone is in significant suffering. Having suffered a lot myself (emotionally, mentally and physically) for lots of times in life, sometimes for years on end intensely, I can easily slip into feeling pain, suffering and despair too. Sometimes caring can be immensely draining and painful. I am so aware of the suffering many people and lots of creatures on our planet go through as well. I know Im not alone in this. Im not so much interested in advice from those who dont have this experience or type of personality (as much as i value you) but rather from people who also have deeply sensitive souls and understand and have found their own ways through this struggle and dilemma. Feel free to private message me if that is more comfortable for replying. Thanks for hearing me!
