I hate being an empath

I'm a straight M33. I've always been different and people have always noticed. I'm very empathic. You can see it in my eyes. I'm not really acting like a normal masculine man, nor do I look like one. It's been a difficult life so far. I need constant alone time to recharge. Anxious all the time too.

I hate being an empath, it is often seen as a weakness in my country that promotes more traditionally masculine roles.

I just want to switch off my empathy.

I'm M33. Life has been a rollercoaster due to PTSD and anxiety.

I'm overly empathic, but still I find the thought of killing my father linger in my mind a lot.

I don't know what to do, the pure alcoholic abusive evil piece of shit deserves to die in my books.

The thought of it consumes me, I don't know what to do anymore.
