One thing I’ve recently realized is that people don’t generally have the same intensity of feelings. I used to think that the way I feel about things was universal, not specific to any particular topic. When I care about something, I assumed the intensity of feeling was similar among people. However, I’ve lately come to understand that some people simply don’t feel the way I do.

It’s not something I can easily categorize as feeling strongly or weakly. It’s more about the very nature of feeling itself. Some people just don’t experience the same intensity of emotions that I do.

I’m not sure whether this difference is good or bad, but the way these people see the world, experience it, and articulate their thoughts is quite different from how I would do it.

I now realize that one of my mistakes has been assuming everyone has the same emotional intensity as me. I thought that the way I feel about things is how others should feel too, even if they express it differently through words.

I’m not sure how to handle this misplaced intensity or mischaracterization of others’ feelings. Going forward, I think I’ll be more careful about not showing my intensity so clearly, to avoid misunderstandings.
