Complete Transcript:
I just want to make other people happy.
I'm an empath. I just feel other people's emotions. I've always been this way, putting other people first. I'm just selfless like that.

I feel really uncomfortable disappointing people, so I do things that I don't wanna do to keep people from getting upset with me.

I grew up in an environment where I had to watch my parent's changes in mood and behavior to keep myself safe. I never knew when they'd erupt so now I think it's still my job to guess or interpret what other people are feeling.

I put other people first because I think it's the only way to keep myself safe. It exhausts me and I betrayed myself in the process, but I do it anyway.
