Bridging.

I'm a lot of things, but something I'm not is explicitly receptive. When people tell me a story with the hopes of stirring up an emotion in me, they're probably setting themselves up for some massive disappointment. Because nine times out of ten, I'm probably not going to be portraying that emotion.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

And sometimes, that hurts people. And I know I'm not responsible for that, I know I'm not responsible for people getting hurt for something I didn't even do, but that part of me that isn't explicitly receptive starts feeling guilty. Especially when I notice that I've let them down. It starts jumping up and down inside of me wanting to scream out that I'm not doing so on purpose but then again, its that part that's not explicitly receptive. Its the way it is for a reason and I can't control it. Maybe I just don't want to. Either way, it doesn't stand to reason out or justify people's assumption that I, as a person, am not empathetic in general. I get that, I'm not someone who'd encourage stories that involve you sympathising on yourself, I know for a fact that I'm not someone who'd tell you the words that you want to listen to. I say what I say, do what I do and just that is sometimes enough to wedge a gap between me and everyone else. Bridging it is something I don't even want to think about because it just isn't happening. Its all cool though, I've no issues absolutely.

Love, peace.
