My knife collection began because I was suicidal.
To keep myself around I got a bunch of knives so I wouldn't pick a favorite and "dissapoint" the others.
...I got better.
I love this so much, is it that you have a lot of empathy?
Yep -- It's a gift & a curse.
I find it super easy to put myself in other people's shoes and see what they're going through, but I have a hard time expressing my own feelings. It's turned me into a bit of a loner, but I do have a small circle of people I know & trust that I can be myself with.
I hear ya. I'm participating in a hiring panel and finding it really tough to reject candidates, especially when they're nice. I just feel so much for them.
Hard not to start building a tough shell, take care of yourself
