I think your broke my ability to make witty remarks with that single comment...Please, oh please, keep it up *puppy dog eyes*

Wit isn't the only way to bring a smile to someone's face, as you and I are about to find out. Of course, you have to earn it first. :3

I prefer the term enthuuuusiast, : P

A much nicer way of saying it... but I'll continue to use the term you're uncomfortable with. After all, it is all about tying you up and making you squirm. ;D

I understand feelings. I look at the situation. Consider the perspectives of others. Decide the result that gains me the thing I want. In example, bonding. Then I act according to that for the greatest gain for greatest amount of individuals. Sometimes it isn't what I want either and benefits me in no way. This leads me to believe the individual is selfish and does not consider individuals other than themselves in their actions. It bothers me, but not enough to act one way or another or express that I am sorry for a situation they ultimately caused to happen for themselves.I also try to not inconvenience others if at all possible. Potentially also help them gain something in the process.

I'm explaining what empathy is, not saying you don't have it. You state that you don't believe you have it ("where can I buy it"), then argue that you do have it when I try to define it - what can I say? I don't know you; I can't say whether you do or do not act empathetically. I'm giving advice - what you take from what I say is down to you.
All I can say is that I think you look at this in a very detached way. In the end, empathy and friendship and connection is about feeling - not running from or detaching from emotion. It may just be that the way you write and logically express yourself comes across a certain way and that I'm completely wrong. Again, I know nothing about you.

Anyway, look, in summary: just talk to people about common interests, about yourself, and show an interest in them. That's how to talk to someone. From there? If you like 'em, you like 'em, and you let the friendship grow naturally. Do things together, talk together, and so on. *thumbs up brah*

Spam Tarot Readings

A reading on academic matters/aspirations, if that's okay? Or love life, if you find the traditional tarot question more interesting. :P

Empathy and being open minded then. I have the latter. Where can I buy the former?

God's Seven-Eleven is just today, soz bbz
I don't know how to answer that question, in seriousness. I've never found it difficult, personally. Simply try to take into consideration how what you say and do may affect others and how it will make them feel. If they are upset or something and you don't know why, or think they "shouldn't" be, try to look at things from their perspective. Empathy is about understanding.
