    It’s because empaths have a fundamental weakness in being able to understand the lack of empathy needed to be so cruel. Like it’s incomprehensible to be so detached from a moral center.

    I think that numbness is likely one of two things. Your psyche subconsciously protecting you from overwhelming emotion. Or your psyche is searching for similar data to decide how you should feel, and literally the answer is null; no similar data available. It’s unprecedented in your subconscious. You may as well have been told 5 billion dwikars exploded.

    WTF is a dwikar? I don’t know how to feel about this, I have no basis of comparison!

    Numb.
