was meant to be insulting but ok
no they were not, i don't know why you think i have this narrative when what i am doing is asking questions, i only said if the response is high or low empathy to garner traction, schizo is a diagnosed sociopath so no need to use quotation marks and his answer proves it anyways
when i say u have a narrative, i mean u already know the ppl answering. u already have opinions on them. ur labels rnt coming from their answers, their answers are being judged based on how u already decided to read ppl before they wrote anyth, and since u stated u believe u can read people with high accuracy, their answers wont make your predetermined outcomes waver bc u have strong confidence in ur people reading abilities.
“schizo is a diagnosed sociopath so no need to use quotation marks and his answer proves it anyways” PROVES that u had a label for him before he answered your questions. that is by definition a narrative. if ur gonna go label ppl ur system needs a structure that can factor in cultural and personality differences in expression, sarcasm, trauma responses, blatant lying, etc
ASPD individuals usually see empathy as a weakness and people and their feelings as tools, asking them about empathy is one of the best indicators to tell if someone has ASPD traits. this is a known fact, not some narrative I make.
a detached way of expression has many explanations that i already said. if there are multiple interpretations that exist and u only pick the one that fits your belief, that is confirmation bias by definition.
glam is an empathetic person because of his response, lexi is an empathetic person because of her response it is simple as that. someone who is empathetic will find feelings a burden usually and a lot of other things but you don't care about
u agreed in the replies that empathy is often performative and is typ shown in actions rather than words, then u proceed to use a method that can only measure performance and claim ur measuring empathy. and if u say u can tell bc of their external actions outside of this experiment, that proves you DO have a narrative and this is not neutral analysis. and empathy presents itself in people in many different ways, u cant make the personal preference of burden a universal rule
they are not shallow and flawed, why would they be.
maybe bc of the reasons i stated clearly
pretty much because they can see past bullshit. obviously a skilled manipulator can manipulate anyone but it will be harder
if now ur saying manipulation is possible, then ur original claim that an empathetic person can “never be manipulated” was flawed, like i said? u cant change the rule mid argument and turn an absolute claim to a degree claim and pretend thats not a completely different rule from ur original one.
and? how does this relate to our dms.
thats where u stated that “empaths can never be manipulated”, which is relevant because it means uve now claimed its impossible for an empathetic person manipulative unless to help someone but they can also never be manipulated, which is proven wrong w the 2 empath paradox i gave u. u still havent explained how those claims can logically coexist
this reeks of passive aggressiveness because you are calling me a manipulator while completely forgetting the context of everything that happened.
i never called u a manipulator and im not discussing personal events, its a hypothetical paradox that questions the structure of your overall claim, so im not sure what context ur talking about. regardless, if ur claim is valid it should hold regardless of the context or the people involved.
but anyways two empaths would probably not manipulate each other.
according to what? u cant assert a conclusion using the very rule we’re currently disputing. empath vs empath is a probable and legitimate real life scenario that would test ur rule’s validity
and bringing morals into it makes no sense
u introduced morality when you said empathic manipulation is possible if “to help someone”. if morality is part of your rule it has to be defined. u still havent touched who decides what “helpful manipulation” is.
these are extremely specific situations
like i said they really arent, theyre irl scenarios that can and will happen. rl isnt simple, and if ur rule falls apart as soon as a scenario is slightly complicated then its wrong
this is not my scenario, this is YOUR scenario thank you very much.
its ur scenario if it follows the rules and claims that u made
anyways empathetic people are rarely manipulative
just shifted it from impossible to unlikely
if they are, it would be a shitshow and they would know they are actively causing harm on someone, they would be the stereotypical manipulator.
ok so if they would be a stereotypical manipulator it proves that it is possible for an empath to be manipulative….which goes against what u claimed….
and their intentions are completely separate from the outcome, they can actively cause harm to someone while thinking theyre genuinely helping. you still havent defined who decides if their action is deemed helpful, and if the label depends on the manipulators intention alone then the system allows harmful actions to become morally pure by default…like i said.
this is targeted but i don't know why nor do i fucking care anymore.
nothing i said was about u as a person, im not debating who u r or whether ur empathetic. ik better than to make assumptions on people. im questioning the claims uve made and nothing more, this has nothing to do with ur personal identity so do not claim victimhood
if someone tells me something that i know isn't true because i know who i am, then i won't care. i know myself best and i know my "fan fiction" better
not ab protecting ur ego or whether u feel insulted, i never touched on ur identity. im questioning whether ur judgement on others follows a consistent structure, which it doesnt. im questioning whether ur claims are logically possible, which theyre not. saying an empath cant be manipulative or manipulable means giving them both a moral pass and immunity which is dehumanizing, nonsensical, and impossible. TLDR fan fiction
