Crippling Empathy

I psychological condition where a person's empathy overrides their critical judgment. The most severe strains of this disease are seen in radical vegans, & environmentalists.

"Gaia weeps when you cut down a tree and it's murder when you eat anything that has a mother."
"Wow, that's the worst case of Crippling Empathy I've seen in a while."

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.

Penis Empathy

Where a woman or other person without a penis understands the pain a man goes through when he gets hit in the junk, or has otherwise painful experiences related to his private square.

Man, I feel some real penis empathy for that guy who just got a tattoo on his dick. That's gonna hurt for months.

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."

Cold Empathy

Someone gives you cold empathy when they cradle your emotions, then give them to someone else to cradle, who then gives to someone else... etc. Until your emotions have been passed around like a bunch of Russian schoolgirls.

"I confided my most intimate feelings with my best friend, and he just threw them away and gave me cold empathy!"

penis empathy

The vicarious pleasure a man derives from seeing another man's penis being serviced sexually, usually by imagining himself in the same situation. In other words, the reason some straight men cannot enjoy lesbian porn.

For me it's either hardcore or futanari; gotta get my penis empathy.
