You can absolutely empathize with people in more dire situations than you are. Why? Because we are perfectly capable of putting ourselves in other people’s shoes, because we can be compassionate, because we can be understanding, because we can _feel_.
Btw, that world you live in is absolutely terrible. Can you imagine if we couldn’t empathize with someone who lost a wife, or a son, or a loved one, because I didn’t? What a bleak, sad world you promote.
And do yourself a favor and look up the definition of empathy.
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 4y agoWhy don’t you tell me what the definition of empathy is, and then go back to the comment that I responded to and show me how it is logically impossible to interpret it as the commenter making the struggle about him/herself, considering all the I’s she used? For someone who supposedly has empathy, you care very little about how your own words (or those whom you agree with) can be seen in a different light by the simple fact that you don’t know what other people are going through, and people use their own experiences to interpret the meanings of things. Considering how there’s acknowledgement ob my end that maybe the commenter didn’t mean any harm, you’re overacting like your most basic freedoms are being trampled upon, which they aren’t.
