"I have been told that I lack empathy, but I do not think that is accurate. I feel that I just express it in ways that are not as socially obvious. I believe I can make a sound argument in my defense and for others."

Since I have already recognized that I am in a passing state that is not governed by reality around me, it is my duty to reign it in and not let it affect how I interact with others.

With the edges of everything so blurry, it is a fine time to ruminate on my identity. Here, the edges always feel particularly blurry. I often become worried that if I express an interest, someone will mistakenly infer understanding or abilities I don't have.
