▲ 12 r/Empaths
Being an empath ruined my career
Because I care so deeply about people, I tend to speak out against injustice on Facebook, along with posts showing support for different groups of people. Well my speaking out against injustice got me almost fired. I was written up instead, but told I had to stop speaking out against a certain thing that did not align with their political views. How do you cope with being told you can't speak out against injustice if you want to keep your job? I feel like I failed the people I care about because my voice has been silenced.
