HOT TAKE (be warned!!!!) not all will agree***impo:
Being empathetic is actually a strength, not a weakness as people like to call those who are “snowflakes.”
People who throw that word around shows more about who they are as a person than you. Being soft is not a weakness, it requires a lot of strength to not be an asshole and actually think about others.
Humans are innately self preserving, and hatred is just one of those things. Being above the animal instinct of that is to be empathetic, whether that makes you swoft or a snowflake, you are bringing kindness to a world that desperately needs it <3
