I have a friend who has pretty much told me the samd thing. Most of the time I can understand on a cognitive level what someone is feeling when it comes to extreme emotions. (I say that because it is the little things I have the hardest time with. I miss them all the time.) Like for example, my boyfriend had his mom pass away several months ago. I love him deeply, and I obviously understood that he was in pain. I just didn’t share his pain. I didn’t feel sad or angry or hurt with him. I just felt... not much of anything. Worried for him, but not much else.

It’s that emotional empathy that I don’t really know how much I actually want to try and learn if it is even possible. I feel like I am better able to help people without being bogged down by the intensity of the emotion. The biggest downside though is that while I can’t share in the pain, I also can’t share in the joys. For me I think that is the biggest negative.

Benefits of having low empathy:

You can't guilt trip me

I remain calm when other people are in distress

I'm not constantly drained by the negativity of the world (instead I am drained by my own depression)

Disadvantages of having low empathy:

Was that a joke?

Was that sarcasm?

I don't always underatand why people feel the way they do

I don't get happy when other people are happy

People with low empathy are demonized even by mental health professionals :/

The Flag of Japan but it's actually this hand towel with a perfectly-placed water stain

So I made some Dubia chow following the recipe by @i-m-snek, I added a few things, removed some others. (Some were removed because I fucked up drying them oops.) Overall though, I would call this a rousing success! Thanks for the recipe! They love it!

She has made so much progress. I love seeing her little personality every day. She is still a little underweight but she is going great! 9 grams left to go!

Hey bb. I'm literally going out on a limb here but I'm trying to buy Dragon Age deception and blue wraith but they are both either wildly expensive (73 Canadian big ones on Amazon for deception and 45 usa with shipping from the bioware store like???) Is there something I'm missing? Did dark horse make these exclusive titles or something? I haven't been spoiled on the comics because I want to read them but I can't even buy a digital version. Do you know what's going on?

Hello! You can get all 3 issues of Dragon Age: Deception collected together in a hardcover from Dark Horse here for $14.99, or for $3.99 per issue (one, two, three). Similarly you can get all 3 issues of Dragon Age: Blue Wraith collected together in a hardcover from them here for $14.99, or for $3.99 per issue (one, two, three). I can only see the Blue Wraith hardcover on the BioWare Gear Store currently, for $18 (not sure if that’s American or Canadian dollars) not including shipping. Prices for things like the comics and books seem to usually be a bit higher in the Gear Store compared to other outlets for whatever reason, and people have also noted that the shipping costs from the Gear Store are quite expensive. I don’t think Dark Horse made them exclusive titles, and you should be able to buy digital copies of them from places, not sure what the problem is there. Dark Horse has Digital Dark Horse.

Alternatives: Deception is on Comixology for £7.19 and here on Kobo for $8.99, Blue Wraith is on Comixology for £8.89 and here on Kobo for $10.99. Prices on Comixology tend to be pretty good ime. You could also try keeping an eye out for sales like this one Comixology had in the past. I think they’re also on Penguin Random House. They’re both currently unavailable on Forbidden Planet from what I can see.

Hope something here helps, let me know if you’re still having trouble or if I’ve misunderstood you. :)
