#empathyisthekey

Hey all, Happy Wednesday! It’s time to see some examples of how NOT to show empathy.

I think it’s important to see examples of real life situations that can come up and where some answers can be considered less empathetic than others.

Have you ever used any of these responses? If you have, don’t worry! We can all improve little by little if we only try hard enough!

I believe in you all. Let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding your experiences with these responses! Have a great day!

Hello all! This will be a month-long project in which I will be posting tips and trick on how to be empathetic both in your day to day life, as well as being a part of a long-term goal. 

To start, what is empathy? Many people often believe that they are feeling empathetic towards others in times of need when in reality they are just feeling sympathy. But what is the difference?

To give a brief review: sympathy is feeling for someone else in situations that are tough while empathy is actually putting yourself in the shoes of the other person to try to truly understand them.

While the article cited has much more information about the definition of the two, it also touches on why it is important to have empathy. This will be the first tidbit of information I give, to get everyone on the same page. 

Hey all! I hope your day was filled with peace. 

Since the creation of this blog was for a Feminist and Queer Theory course I thought I would go ahead and include my final project powerpoint presentation for all of those that are interested in the research portion of the project! 

If reblogged, do please keep credit since this is something I’ve put a lot of work into. As always, feel free to let me know what you think!
