Re: On the nature of empathy

[(Anonymous)]

I think most people don't actually have empathy. I think most people imagine how they would feel in that situation, not how the other person is actually feeling. They lack the ability to truly take on a different perspective. So most people like to say they have empathy but really they're just selfish and viewing everyone's world through their own eyes and calling it empathy.

That's what empathy IS. The ability to put yourself in another person's shoes and by imagining how you would feel, you get at least somewhat of an idea how they are feeling and are able to care for what they're going through. That's not selfish, that's being human. No one is able to TRULY know how something feels until they experience it themselves, but trying to imagine how they would feel in a given situation gives them at least a bit of ability to relate to what someone else is going through.

People who actually don't have empathy think "well, I can't relate to what that person is dealing with, so why should I care?"

So you're complaining that people who try to be empathetic are actually selfish because *checks notes*... they aren't psychic?

What the actual goddamn fuck are you on about
