compassion fatigue 

A reluctance to give donations to charities raising funds for natural disasters such as the aftermath of the Tsunami, the S Asian Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. These events appear to occur with increasing frequency and so the public become weary of constantly being called upon to donate funds to help the needy.

This is also accompanied by a feeling that funds given in the past have been mismanaged through poor administration and other factors: therefore there is little point in making a donation as it will never reach those who need it most.

Roger was suffering from compassion fatigue when he watched another appeal to help the victims of the S Asian Earthquake. This time, he decided, charity begins at home. He went out for a few drinks down the pub.

Compassion Boner 

The state of easily and unwittingly spilling your compassionate energy into a less constructive cause.

She had a compassion boner and gave her last 5 dollars to that stereo thief.

Compassion Rage 

Overboiling anger in response to a stimulus that is intended to provoke a compassionate response. A more robust relative of Compassion Fatigue, which may also be followed by Rage Fatigue.

"When that guy asked me 'Big Isssue, sir? Would you like to help the homeless', I screamed at him 'don't fucking try and socially engineer me with your claim that giving you £1.40 is going to solve homelessness!' I'm normally such a nice guy. I don't understand myself. Maybe it was compassion rage."

Compassion fruit 

A cute way for vegans to say passion fruit. Its mostly cute when vegans say it, but vegetarians and semi vegetarians can still say it cutely. It first can from a pun on a peta lip balm.

"I love purple compassion fruit!"
"I just brought compassion from lip balm from Peta."

Compassion Bully 

When someone uses a disability or illness as a way to pressure you into doing something nice for them. Taking advantage of someone by using their kindness and compassion to manipulate them.

That guy always begs the band to introduce them, gets backstage all the time because of his bad legs and then acts all hurt if they say no. What a Compassion Bully.

Compassion Cupcake 

When your buddy is feeling down, you fill their ass with an “ample amount” of coolwhip and eat it out. Great for rainy days, it’s sure to make you feel better when you’re sad.

My buddy Rafael is looking upset today. I think I’ll give him a tasty compassion cupcake.

self-compassion 

The ability to choose freedom and breathe new air and create a wonderful and powerful life even when you’re not sure exactly how it will be done.

I came to realize that remaining ensnared in golden handcuffs is the total antithesis to having self-compassion.
