Empathy

Not having this really is its own punishment.

Iam "I forget I'm supposed to being doing empathy sometimes. It just slips my mind. And then I remember (after the fact) and beat myself up over it. I'm glad you and yours are doing well. I know you've been back for a while. I've been gone for a while. I didn't even think anyone would notice. Or care. You're right about a lot of things you know. You know, they say you should treat people as though you're talking to an old friend. I heard someone say that once. A lot of my personality is just 'people like it when you do *blank* so you should do *blank*'. I just do it because I heard that it was a good thing to do. I like doing things that people like."

Hym "I like doing things that people hate. They like doing things that I hate. Everybody wins. I hate that can't express myself fully. I want to save some of the good thoughts for a climactic moment. But that moment may never come. Oh well. Guess it can't be helped."

Empathy Boner

An erection that inexplicably appears when consoling someone.

Mother Empathy

The know-it-all who claims to “feel” too much emotion and preaches “walk a mile in my shoes” to anyone and everyone, but bullies people when someone else fails to understand what they preach.

Naomi: I’ll still love you when you tell me what happened today.
Warren: I forgot I was supposed to see you today because I had to take my dog to the vet urgently.
Naomi: How could you be so insensitive to my feelings when I had made the plans specially for you? All you think about is the dog. I felt stood up, hurt and left alone. I think you don’t even like me, I’m a person and if you can’t value me above a dog, I cant see you anymore.
Warren: But I’m sorry, I would have seen you if I wasn’t occupied.
Naomi: We are done.
Warren: *THINKING* So much for honesty... Holy Mother Empathy!
