Just having a little fun at your expense.
Teehee!

But I am empathic...to real people. Just not fictional ones.

I have always blamed my emotional control on 2 things.

1) My Dad. He was Army and red-blooded full testosterone. I've seen him cry once. Ever.

2) Being picked on. I was picked on a lot for alot of reason as a kid. And I was taught to not start fights and to resolve conflicts peacefully. I had to learn how to control my emotions, especially my anger. So I guess that evolved into how I am today.

Even today, I can be a raging inferno on the inside and not show it.
