But yeah. Every day I'm reminded of how bigots, despite their political affiliation, maintain zero empathy for those they hate, from internet commenters to JK Rowling & governments.
They never take a pause to check in on their bigotry, & as a leftist, I'm tired of doing the emotional labour.

1. There's no such thing as evil
2. We should be empathetic to people who do "evil" things as they have mental health issues/personality disorder/had a hard life

Introverts have been misunderstood for way too long. It’s not about being shy or antisocial. Introversion just means finding energy in solitude. People need to start learning about it instead of judging it
