#high empathy

[fanboy-enby-undead]

I know people say you need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes now and then, but don't forget to wear your own sometimes.

You'll never know your own struggles and comforts without it.

Trauma-Punk (Coining)

Concept

An aesthetic and social group/movement focused on trauma survivors of any and all kinds. You have gone through hell and back and you are allowed to be loud, angry, aggressive, and selfish. Traumapunk is for all the unsavory survivors who don’t fall into society's ideal victim mold. It’s taking back the power from times you could not before, it’s being independent and self assured, it’s saying fuck you to the system that allowed your traumas to occur, saying fuck you to the abusers you may have had. You don’t have to be quiet or docile, you can be loud and aggressive.

All trauma survivors matter, and the discrimination and biases we face on a daily basis should no longer go ignored. This is a movement for all the cluster-b disordered people, all the people with PTSD, all the people with DID/OSDD, and any other trauma induced disorders. Everyone with the “wrong” reaction to their trauma and everyone who has decided they will no longer take anyone's shit.

All trauma survivors can be a part of this, regardless of disorders or the lack thereof. Your trauma no matter how big, no matter how small, is valid.

Trauma Punk Flag

[Image ID: The trauma-punk flag, consistent of 7 stripes which are reflected horizontally. The stripes go as follows; Dark Sienna, Rosso Corsa, Old Brick, Carousel Pink, Old Brick, Rosso Corsa, and then Dark Sienna. The flag is all tinted towards a redish color. End ID]

The flags colors all have their own meaning

Dark Sienna: All the negative feelings and emotions that comes from having experienced trauma, the feeling of being alone.

Rosso Corsa: Anger towards what happened, having to fight to survive. Not being docile.

Old Brick: Any and all people with socially unacceptable reactions to their traumas- including disorders, temperament shifts, and being untrusting of others. (Separate from anger).

Carousel Pink: Recovery and healing

This flag is free to be used and never requires any credit.

Sex-workers

Hypersexual survivors

Sex repulsed survivors

Trans People

Gay People

Intersex people

Xenogenders

Self-defense

Angry Survivors

Survivors who want revenge

Survivors who want to see their perps be better people

Anti-Psych/Psych-Critical

Psychology/psychiatry should be available for those in need- however there are massive issues within the field and it needs to be addressed. We personally prefer Psych-Crit, but people recognize Anti-psych more.

Anti/Against

Ableists

“Narcissistic/Histrionic/Borderline/Sociopathic” Abuse 

The abuser made their choice, having a disorder will never make someone be an abuser, that abusive person CHOSE to be evil. Your anger should be at them, not fellow trauma survivors.

Trauma Comparison

All traumas are valid, some may be harder to deal with than others but we are still all survivors.

Sanists

Fakeclaimers

You never know what someone is going through it is not your place to decide if they have a disorder or not

Terfs/Swerfs/Radfems

Transphobes

Homophobes

Transmeds

Intersexists

Our DNI does not apply to this and only this post (unless you are part of one of the groups in the "against" section.)

This label is allowed to be used by trauma survivors regardless of beliefs on syscourse as we post a lot of syscourse stuff and thought this was necessary to add.

Us people with no empathy and people with high empathy aren't enemies btw. We should make out sloppy style.

[olskuvallanpoe]

Bitches be like “I don’t have time for this” when “this” is literally unavoidable symptoms of debilitating chronic illness, but will say yes to every single optional task literally anyone asks them to do (regardless of whether they’ll even be able to physically do it at all) bc they’ll feel guilty otherwise

"We need more weird autistics!" You can't even admit, let alone handle the fact that having low or no empathy is an autistic trait.

empathy fucked

[pt: empathy fucked /end pt]

A flag for when your empathy is fucked for any reason. This can include hyperempathy, hypoempathy, empathyflux, or any other kind of empathy abnormality.

I made this to describe my weird relationship with empathy and how I personally only experience it for those I'm close to, but it can be used for anyone who feels like they can describe their empathy as "fucked."

Lots of points of inspiration for this one! The flag template is by @/fantasy-store's empathy flags the center colors are from @/neopronouns' hyperempathy, hypoempathy(link) and empathyflux(link) flags, and the colors on either side are from @/fairystar-fag's high and low empatix(link) flags because they're gorgeous

Tysm to @/radiomogai for the help with the id. The flag template had me a lil stumped

[flag id: A rectangular flag with five horizontal stripes of equal width. Each stripe has a small rectangle of a different color at some point on the stripe, with the rectangles starting in the top right corner on the first stripe and ending in the bottom left corner on the last stripe. The first stripe is dark blue with a bright green rectangle. The second stripe is indigo with a dark teal rectangle, the stripe after the rectangle being yellow. The third stripe is blue with a periwinkle rectangle, the stripe after the rectangle being orange. The fourth stripe is light blue with a lavender rectangle, the rest of the stripe being deep red. The last stripe starts with a pink rectangle, the remainder of the stripe being dark plum. /end id]

“you’re just being sensitive.”

yeah. i am. so what? so what if im a crybaby? why is that a bad thing? why should i be ashamed of being sensitive? i’m allowed to cry, am i not?

we should normalize crying. everyone deserves to cry every once in a while. im tired.

people with bpd don't need to be palatable in order to deserve support. like you don't need to say "actually, we're empathetic, not manipulative" in order to combat bpd stigma.

borderlines with low/no empathy deserve as much support as ones with empathy. borderlines who manipulate deserve as much support as ones who people please. they're both coping mechanisms, and they both can be harmful to oneself and others.

we all deserve to be supported and to find healthy coping skills. health is a human right. it's not conditional on what kind of person you are, or who people think you are.

Questioning NPD + High Empathy culture is getting physically sick when you disappoint someone.

[dismemberment-on-a-tuesday-night]

I'm really sick and tired of how much people with high empathy enjoy hijacking and derailing posts about low/no empathy.

It seems like every post as simple as "having low or no empathy is fine, actually" is met by a bunch of people in the notes saying "oh, but isn't high empathy also valid? You excluded us :("

High empathy people are never hated on for having high empathy. Not ever. They aren't treated like monsters. People don't talk seriously or even just joke about throwing them all in jail or having them killed.

Empathy comes with so many privileges I can't breathe, yet they are insistent that everything has to be about them. They can't even imagine how hard it is to exist on the internet with low/no empathy dealing with all the vile hatred, even if they can "empathize", whatever that means.

Petition to keep people with empathy from hijacking posts about low/no empathy talking about our struggles or trying to spread positivity. They are more than capable of showing support, if they have any to spare, or ignoring us entirely. You'd think an empath could read the room.

if you’re a high empathy autistic talking about autism even if you only have a small platform please stop pushing the narrative that all autistics are incredibly high empathy. Not only is it untrue but it further pushes the stigma that low/no empathy people like me are bad people or that we’re emotionless and can’t manage relationships for that reason. Even if you yourself are high empathy you should still be explaining how some autistic people can experience incredibly incredibly high empathy and how some autistic people can experience incredibly low or no empathy - we’re both valid, sympathy and empathy are not the same thing.

[teleportzz]

girl what is my empathy 😭 a dear family member could literally be crying in front of me and i will feel nothing except mild annoyance that i'm obligated to care about this, but when a fictional character in a y7 cartoon that i really like has an episode where they make a selfish mistake and learn from it by the end i will feel so much empathy and secondhand shame that it's hard to sit through. someone please tell me this is a normal autism thing and that there isn't something else wrong with me
