I'm feeling so un-empathetic lately (more so than usual). Some of the other signs are bitching and moaning about being moody, serious PMSing and feeling overly emotional. Me, I have spent the last week just wanting to be in my own without fusssing or worrying over much of anything. And, I'm finding that as I listen (or read here) about other people woe's I'm like "pffttt, whatever, get over it!"

Anyone else feeling this way as of late? (more so than usual, that is)

So today, this guy that works at the liquor store says to me "did you know I have cancer, I was diagnosed last June". Goes on to tell me about how it has metastasized, his whatever levels are 9.6 (and max out at 10 and then you're kaput) and I felt nothing. I was trying to joke with him about his smoking and how he should really start drinking now (I knew he didn't drink) - he was cool with my joking btw. Insensitive? Maybe. But, I wouldn't want someone to pity me, so I'm not going to pity them. I didn't feel sorry for him in the least bit, life is what it is. This is what I'm saying guys, I have no empathy what-so-ever these days. None, nada, nothing.
