Being an empathetic person has it's benefits. I never struggle to see something from someone else's perspective and will always strive for mutual peace. The problem lies in hoping people you encounter will respond in kind, when of course they likely won't because we are not made equal. We each have different strengths. That mismatch can be truly hurtful at times to an empath. Reality does not always meet expectations, and you can end up getting hurt quite badly when you're also highly sensitive.
