Empathy

Amy22

I feel like I often struggle with empathy a lot especially as an autistic person. That's not to say I don't feel things because I want to rule out the misconception of autistic people having no empathy. I do in fact over empathise with people to the point where it can make me feel tired or overwhelmed. I often empathise so much with people, it's draining half the time I don't want to sound like I'm complaining or anything. I've been a people's pleaser to say the least I guess. I wonder if anyone struggles with over empathising or empathy in general and what tips you got?. Because I swear like sometimes there's something wrong with me because I laugh at all the wrong times, and don't feel much during the good times. Sorry for my rant.
