cognitive empathy . . .
ー cognitive empathy is understanding someone's thoughts and/or feelings. this is when you intellectually understand what someone else is feeling, without necessarily feeling it yourself.
ー example: imagine your co-worker is nervous before giving a big presentation. you don't necessarily feel nervous yourself, but you understand why they feel that way, so you offer them encouragement.
ー how it feels: you recognize the emotion/feeling logically. "ah, they are anxious because of the pressure" ー but you are emotionally neutral or calm about it.
emotional (or affective) empathy . . .
ー emotional empathy is feeling with someone. this is when you actually feel the other person's emotions, as if you were experiencing it yourself.
ー example: your friend bursts into tears after a breakup. as you comfort them, you suddenly feel heavy, heartbroken, and your own tears start to well up, even though it's not your breakup.
ー how it feels: your emotional state mirrors theirs. it might feel automatic and intense, almost as if you are "catching" their emotion.
compassionate empathy . . .
ー compassionate empathy is feeling and acting to help. this type of empathy combines understanding & emotional feeling, with the desire to help and take action.
ー example: you see someone on the street shivering without a coat in the winter. you feel bad for them (emotional empathy) and feel motivated to give them your scarf/buy them something warm (action).
ー how it feels: there is a strong pull in your chest, an urge to do something to ease another person's suffering or problems.
hello there, i am a severely disabled trans person who is currently developing crohn's disease who also deals with arthritis, schizophrenia, and hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. i have been very sick for the past 6 months, dealing with unhealthy rapid weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diahrrea, constipation, dehydration, exhaustion, brain fog, and malnutrition. i have barely been making any money lately because of how sick i've been, so i have fallen behind on electric bill payments due to having to prioritize rent.
i am too sick to get a conventional job at this time, i currently make my living with my online shop where i sell handmade jewelry, accessories, zines, and paintings. i also offer traditional illustrations on card stock, and custom jewelry and keychains! :) you are more than welcome to ask about requests for custom jewelry and keychains and i will see if i'm able to fulfill your request! i also have a gofundme for saving up for my rent & bills
if you're interested in helping me, you can do so in the following ways:

The Lord would not find MEN with PAINTED NAILS to be acceptable. Grow a pair and be a real man.

I'll be /nsrs thinking my moots are old, but then I remember the oldest of them is maybe two and a half years older than me at most.
Whenever i hear my friends talk about crushes or relationships i get really confused. Like, one of my friends was talking about how this guy (one he's hard-core pining for) called him "dear", and how happy(?) he was about it. And i'm just ???What???? Why is that good?? it just sounds really uncomfortable to me,,, Like i get platonic(?) crushes, i've had many of those, but i lack much understanding of romantic ones...
URGENT HELP 🚨
Hello dears, it's Ola, I write to you today in the most difficult circumstances I have ever faced in my life, circumstances that have become unbearable. Life has been harsh on us in ways we never expected, and we are now unable to provide for even the most basic needs, such as food, water, and everything essential for survival. Prices have skyrocketed in an unimaginable way, and we are left powerless against this harsh reality.💔
Since I started my campaign, I have placed all my hopes and dreams in it to improve my life and my family's life. I hoped we would find a helping hand, that we would feel there are people who care for us. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us in the past, and to those who will support us today. You are our only hope.🥺
But today, I need you more than ever, more than any moment I've gone through. I need your help, your love, and your compassionate hearts. We are going through an incredibly tough time, and mercy only comes from hearts like yours. Please, your feeling for us is the only hope left. We have nothing but your prayers and support.
If you read my story, perhaps you would understand that it was never expected for me to be in this situation, begging for help from others. Life can be cruel at times, but there are still compassionate hearts that can light our way and change our fate.
Please, read my story, feel for me and my family, because we are truly in desperate need of your help. Please don’t abandon us, because if we don’t find hope in you, we don’t know where we will turn. I may not have many followers on my blog (due to my original blog being deleted), but I believe in you, I believe in your help, and I believe in your sharing of this post, which could change our lives. 🙏🥺
My opportunity for internet access is very limited, so please, share this message as widely as possible. Be the shadow that saves me and my family.
Please donate and share 💔
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost here, @northgazaupdates here, @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's spreadsheet of vetted campaigns #205.
Please help me, Please share 🙏

I was going to complain about how tired I am but then I remembered that I wake up at 6:30am nearly everyday, and that I've been awake for 18 hours. Goodnight
I can't ride a bike or swim
I realized I was queer when I was 8 or so
My mom called me lesbian once
When I was like six I ate a stick when I was pretending to be a beaver
I used to watch VeggieTales regularly
I lived off of VHS tapes and CDs as a child
I think I might have hhad some sort of hyperfixation on Judaism as a little kid because I have memories of watching multiple separate videos or poor quality CD movies or something like that about Hanukkah REGULARLY as a child
I fucking HATE the term "narcissistic abuse."
If that exists, so does autism abuse. So does ADHD abuse. So does OCD abuse.
"That doesn't make sense!"
NEITHER DOES "NARCISSISTIC ABUSE."
That shit is just straight up ableism.
