Sigh, hyperempathy can be a bitch. My seedlings died cause i ignored them thinking my mom would take care of them (it was a group project for her) but she u water them and i didn’t either and now they are pretty much dead and i am pretty depressed 😞

Awww I’m sorry hugs
Is hyper empathy a symptom of autism? This would explain a lot for me…
I cried all day when one of my plants died.
I did the same thing!

Something that helps me is to look at the plant's side of it.
It's not aware of being alive and doesn't miss it.
That's why plants make lots of seeds. There are plenty of seeds and plenty of plants. They don't worry about dying.
