You've heard of psychopaths. Those twisted beings with no empathy for others, who cannot put themselves in your shoes, who do not care what others feel. Epitomised by the serial killer and the ruthless CEO.

But empathy is a sliding scale. If the psychopath is at one extreme what is at the other? Not someone who kills because they cannot feel another's pain. But rather someone who constantly kills themselves because they feel the pain of others more than they feel their own.

I am the opposite of a psychopath. I am an empopath.
