A series of thoughts I noticed that might be familiar to some here.
"I don't have emotions"
↓
"All my emotional presentations are fake"
↓
"If people treat me better for my fake emotions, it's because I'm manipulating them"
↓
"I don't deserve the sympathy I get"
↓
"I shouldn't present any emotions in order to not extract underserved sympathy"
↓
"I don't have emotions"
Obviously a lot of these thoughts are factually incorrect, but it doesn't matter to my silly brain. Laying them out clearly like this helped me with it, so I hope it helps other people too.
When ur emotions are so intense that they become fundamentally useless because when u feel em u just end up incapable of doing anything else but feeling the feeling![thonk-cri thonk-cri](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/28f474dc-35e3-4579-b196-28f3105e7ee7.png)
