@sorry.goose: most autistic friends that i’ve met struggle with cognitive empathy but have high emotional empathy so im curious, am i the only one who struggles in the opposite way? 💝 #autism #autisticadult #neurodivergent #empathy

My issue isn’t lack of empathy but hyper empathy.

Mine is weird. I have to pretend so hard to be excited with people or console people, because I feel none of it. Meanwhile, if I see a video online of a dog being reunited with their person after a long absence, I’m a sobbing mess.

can emotional empathy vary depending on the emotion? like when someone else is happy I'm happy to see them happy, but when someone is sad, I wont feel sad, but it really depends on the reason their sad?? idk tbh, tysm for this info tho <3

extremely high emotional empathy and very low cognitive empathy. if i don’t understand Why someone is feeling the way they are or made the choices they made, all i feel is frustrated

I.....I am realizing that I might have high cognitive empathy and low emotional empathy.....like I have a hard time reacting to stuff, like I fully understand what they are feeling and why but I'm like...devoid of emotion in those moments which often forces me to over compensate. But I do feel a lot of emotional empathy when like...reading fiction. Where I almost feel what the characters are feeling in a kind of extreme way.

Huh.. I thought empathy was understanding how the other person is feeling and matching the energy

does anyone else panic and just feel super uncomfortable when someone is crying? Like, I'm sorry you're so upset, but I cannot offer you any words or actions of comfort (I hate hugs😅). I can maybe give a small 'there there' pat on the back 😅

i‘m german and our word for compassion is „mitgefühl“ literally meaning you feel (gefühl = feeling) with (=mit) the person. well the day of my autism assessment at the ripe age of 30 i learnt that you really are supposed to do feel „with“ the person when you are showing compassion and empathy. i always thought you would just say that you are sorry for them or feel with them (hard to explain because of the differences in wording but i hope you get what i mean) because that is what you do but actually feel nothing. i thought that‘s just what you do. turns out you are actually supposed to FEEL sadness or whatever the other person is feeling???? big oof

i got hyper cognitive empathy, I still act accordingly and apparently im very good at masking so it seems like emotional empathy, but its not (im very uncomfortable internally when in those interactions.) Its always seemed like emotional empathy but my therapist said im just masking to make me seem normal and emotional
