Empath or Apath?

💎 The Empath’s Armor Isn’t Cold — It’s Survival.

The empath can seem cold-hearted…

But that’s a defense mechanism — a way to survive the storm.

Empathy isn’t just understanding.

It’s feeling what others feel — and being forced to carry it.

Through introspection, the empath becomes who they love.

They constantly ask,

“If it were me, what would I need?”

“How would I feel?”

Through wonder, they wander the emotions of those they care for most.

And when the weight becomes too heavy —

they pull away, not out of apathy… but protection.

That cold shoulder?

It’s a silent admission that what you’re facing would break most people.

They’re saying, “I tried to walk in your shoes… and couldn’t.”
