Oh, Dear.
I just reread the subtitle of your original article, and now I see that you’re writing as a reminder to yourself, and really struggling with it.
I see now that misunderstood your article and I withdraw the comments I made suggesting that you will improve your relationships by empathizing others.
I stand behind the paragraphs I wrote about me, using the first person pronoun “I”, to describe my experiences.
As for why Medium keeps putting this crap on my front page like they want me to read it and comment, I can only speculate that the clap circles and Facebook groups that generate thoughtless praise responses push the algos to think that there might be something worthwhile in the writing.
I misunderstood that, too. The algos are not smarter than me.
