empathy

Empathy is like sympathy but suggests an even closer relationship.

Sympathetic people try to be understanding and compassionate, but people who have empathy feel that they are inside someone else's mind and emotional being, feel that they are the other person for a while. They live with and share the other's joy, sorrow, pain, fear, love. Readers are often empathetic toward (identify with") one or more fictional characters.

empathy

The ability to be able to feel what another person feels, whether you've been in their position or not.

When Morgan told me about what her dad did to her, I had a hard time keeping from crying. I had a lot of empathy for her.

Empathy

Putting yourself in another person's shoes and treating them as you would to be treated. This is the opposite of a person who suffers from narcissism or other discriminatory personality traits.

Mike: You hear about that guy? He and his father must go to terrorist meetings.
Pat: Fuck that guy, I care zero about his health.
Rational Human Being: You guys should learn about empathy. They've probably experienced things in life you guys wouldn't even survive on your own. Being beat up and called a n*gger and sandn*gger as a child for one. Or suffering through injuries or chronic pain for over 17 years being the other.
Mike & Pat: Fuck that guy.
Rational Human Being; You guys don't get it. I'm sure there's a special place for you white privilege types.

Empathy

One of our human weaknesses and one of the contributing factors to today's conformism. Something that tears us down and brings past memories to the surface through a vicarious experience.

"I empathize with your loss of tea, but that's your problem not mine. My empathy only adds to the prevalence of the matter."

Empathy

It's like music, you would understand what the composer has done it, if it's sad you cry, if it's joy you smile, etc

Basically, you will be someone who will understand what other person is going through!!

Empathy is not present when you judge!!

Empathy

An infinity abstract scale, measuring internal expression of desired autonomy in an externally viewed world of invisible and undefinable interconnection.

Empathy: To truly walk in the shoes of another, those shoes must literally be on your feet.

I shared her feelings in a mind meld, she's depressed because seraph of the end won't premier for another year. She's a weeaboo. I now no longer wish to hold empathy.
