I see a lot of similarity in the responses and I wonder how much of these traits are CPTSD related, or for me possiblt spectrum related.

1. I try my hardest, am constantly learning, trying to be more sensitive to others, and bettering myself. I want to do better.

2. I empathise with all suffering. I can imagine.

3. I am aware of my own quirks.

4. I am honest, some would say to a fault, but I disagree. I don't mask my feelings well, and I want to know how others are truly feeling too.

5. I want to listen. I am not good with sympathy as an act, and I'm not good at conversation, but I want to hear others' stories and experiences. I truly want to. I am interested in the lives of others.
