CIJSAIJBH, I am tired of those attacking people with my condition of being lacking in empathy in the sense that we are heartless "creatures" and thereby lacking in compassion (there's even a website that's exactly about that, lol). I am NOT a heartless person, I care a lot about a number of people in my life and have feelings of "softness" and compassion for them, especially when I realize they are going though lows in life or need emotional support. When I see them cry, I cry as well. When I see them in pain, I hurt as well for them. My partner, without being prompted by me, tells me I understand her in ways no one else has ever understood her (and we have been together for a number of years). When a family member wants to talk about their personal struggles, I'm there to listen. How can this be if I am heartless and lack compassion?
You're Vulcan.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
