Why do I feel the need to take on every problem that is handed to me, even when I know that I'm completely incapable of solving them? I must have cried five times today for people other than me. What's my fucking problem? Maybe if I just hated life and love and people and everything in between I wouldn't be so messed up. Wow, I've never though of caring as a curse before, and I never realized I had it. Maybe I'm a good canidate for the peacecore after all. Thanks for listening tangst.

it's “Peace Corps” you moron, not peacecore. i think a prerequisite for getting into the peacecore is know how to spell peacecore.
i think the better question to be asking tangst is, "why am i such a misspelling moron?"
^Jeeze what a bitch.
Anyhoo, empathy is one of those wonderful attributes that makes us human. Think of it as a gift rather than something cumbersome and use it to the fullest. The peece kore would be absolutely perfect for you it seems, and I congratulate you for being willing to do something so noble and selfless that the rest of us can't even imagine.
I know what you mean. I almost ran away from home once because of my friend's problems. Because I somehow thought that doing that would take them away from her and put them on my shoulders... ? I just wish I could have a normal empathy level for a few days.
Empathy is wonderful, you sound like a very sensitive person.
Though, that also needs to be tempered with the understanding that you can't control it all, which is what it sounds like you want to do (whether you think this consciously or not). It's common enough, we all are relatively helpless in the grand scheme of things, you gotta roll with the punches... but that's what makes it so fun to be here.
Also, I hate to say this, and as insensitive as it sounds, when one cries, they cry for themselves. I am not saying that crying is bad... much the opposite, it's very wonderful and releasing. Though, when constant, it can be... rather egotistical in that the act of crying is a concentration on the self, as it can not truly benefit any other.
That being said, you certainly sound like a kind person who truly wants to do wonderful things for the wonderful people you come in contact with.
You sound like somebody everyone should meet. Don't be so hard on yourself :)
