Question

[𖣂𖣂𖣂.]

Is it bad that I don't like sympathy because I feel like I don't deserve sympathy. I feel as if it's a fake sympathy towards others. Please educate me if my thinking isn't logical I really want criticism so it could change my way of thinking.

Tons of reasons as to why it might be hard to accept and digest sympathy. Gender, race, culture, feeling like your not worth it, or as you said feeling like it's fake are some examples.

In the end, there's nothing wrong with allowing sympathy. Doesn't make it any easier when you don't appreciate or believe it.

Also, as for mindset I'm unsure what to say since that seems like a recovery thing, but this was posted in suicide if I'm not mistaken. For that reason I'm just gonna keep my mouth zipped.

I often think sympathy is handed out to many people like confetti when in fact, the person' listening ' cant deal with our hardship. We live in a ' sympathetic ' ' society. The reality is most people dont give a shit, "not my problem" attitude. Maybe empathy is better served, so I feel I understand you without showing any sympathy towards you.

When i became ill, i received loads of sympathetic voices, followed by abandonment by ' friends'. one or two stuck by and they understand.
