autistic DPD culture is never feeling like an equal around other adults, always feeling like a little kid who needs to be told what to do

I've been embracing my empathy gaps instead of trying to hide them and it's honestly so nice.
For instance, a big empathy gap for me is around the death of elderly people when it's natural/old age. My friend's grandma died and I'm just there like "Oh." I let my friend know I can't really understand since it is just a part of life, but I'm sorry for their loss. My friend rants a bit to me and I just sit there feeling kind of awkward, but trying my best.
My mom always made me feel so awful for being that way around death that isn't animals or isn't some "dying young or through tragedy thing." To me, death from old age is just something that happens, whatever it may be that actually took them. And especially with older people I don't know, it's like I cannot empathize there at all. They lived a good life, my friend got to talk with her grandma a bit ago.
I was the same way when my grandparents died when I was younger and I always felt so awful for not reacting the "right way" and being confused why my mother was sad over her parents dying.
But I'm allowing myself to experience these instead of shaming myself for them and honestly, having my friend support me is so nice. I just explained why I didn't really care or couldn't find a way to empathize and they understood. All they needed was to talk through their thoughts a bit and me listening.
It's really nice to be able to express this and open up and let myself be the way I am without being shamed or seen as some monster as I've experienced most of my life. I'm hyperempathetic most of the time, but I have gaps cause of autism and trauma as well. And it's genuinely so nice to be able to just let myself be who I am. I love my empathy, but it's also very exhausting emotionally so also allowing myself to not be as empathetic with things is refreshing because then I'm not as anxious or desperate to please or feeling things as intensely outside of my own emotional bubble. In fact my hyperempathy only added to the traumatic event that happened at 16/17 because of how I was. So that's another reason why I have empathy gaps.
Either way, empathy doesn't mean shit in the end. It can help in relationships and understanding, but can also be bad if there's too much of it. Nothing wrong with low/no empathy, nothing wrong with fluctuating empathy. It doesn't dictate shit and there's lots of people who have had it used against em (like me :p) so wherever you fall with empathy, what matters most are your actions, not some arbitrary thing that some people experience and some people don't. Humans are multifaceted and complex, we are different and we all have different strengths and weaknesses, different traits, especially with how trauma and disorders and neurodivergency can affect that.

aroace bpd+dpd culture is breaking up with your so/fp after realizing youre aroace then blaming yourself for them leaving you because you thought the only way you could make them stay was by being in a relationship with them and that means you failed at making them stay which now means you’re an heartless unloveable monster who doesn’t deserve anyone to actually care about you.

Is it that difficult to see that I do nothing but waiting for you? Is it that difficult to tell me that you can't talk with me today after I waited to whole day to finally talk to you? Is it that difficult to love me?

DPD culture is changing beliefs and emotions on a whim depending on what your dp wants. Oh me being sad is inconvenient? I'm fine now! Oh you don't wanna deal with this episode? No more! You want me to like this thing? I love it!!
