I have lived under the realization that people don’t care about other people because they are mostly focused on themselves.

What i have been discounting is there is a large asymmetrical opportunity given this fact. just by trying to care and help other people, you will be doing what the majority of people don’t do since they are too busy dealing with their own issues.

Once you have your shit figured out physically, mentally and financially, this seems like the thing you should spend time on to have large positive impact.

I suspect empathic people already do this naturally, but as an antisocial autist i had to come to this conclusion via logic.

True. Most people truly don’t have the excess capacity to meaningfully help others because they are so busy helping themselves.

Empathy has been so leveraged that it has been hard for naturally empathetic people to not become uber cynical. Even when I do try to help, I find I have to do some convincing that I don’t have another motive.

I agree basically and that's a problem with the FIAT slavery. On the other hand, if you wait till your life is completely solved, you'll never come to help others. Yes, it helps to have a safe background, but you must also be willing to sacrifice your self a bit for others, and then earn spiritual s...

I'm glad you've gotten there eventually even just through logic. There's a joke there about dudes spending a lifetime to "discover" empathy 😅

That first para hits hard and true. Also like yourself, I've had to use logic and alot of introspection to work on my physical, mental and financial health (the later taking some time). I've felt like the flood gates are now opening, first for opportunities then time and then, to give back (at some ...

As much as you wanna help someone, some people don't deserve the help because they're not appreciative. This is the problem with nice people. We always get stepped on. So sometimes we just have let them burn.

Depends what you're doing. I can tell you this isn't true in healthcare. Humans can only give so much before it negatively impacts them. I suffered from compassion fatigue recently and it was pretty awful. Things got better once I detached more. Too much empathy will dilute it to misery. Apathy prob...

Mastering yourself to serve others is the highest form of strength. You're not just building wealth, you're building worth.

Many are busy putting out fires in their lives, they dont have time to think about bigger picture. Once their live gets more steady, maybe then. But some nevr have that time for long enough

I don't think that's possible in social media, the front stage is the social media for your image and often times it needs to be a bit narcissistic to gain social capital.

People will often exploit your altruism for their own advantage, frequently attempting to operate through ego games or manipulative behaviors.
