response: I can only imagine. Speaking of sympathy, did you know that it comes from Greek words? "Syn" means together and "pathos" means feeling
original_response: The Greeks knew the feeling well, with ''syn'' meaning together and ''pathos'' meaning feeling. It's important to be sympathetic to feel a sense of community, even with yourself.
history: The Inner critic in me is very intense. I understand. But do you have a some self-compassion? This is when you extend compassion to yourself when you perceive failure, for exemple I try, but i just can't control myself most of the time. I see, this extended compassion can also happen in moments of perceived general suffering or failure also. So that you know. My lack of sympathy is my biggest problem.
knowledge: Sympathy (from the Greek words ''syn'' ''together'' and ''pathos'' ''feeling'' which means ''fellow-feeling'') is the perception, understanding, and reaction to the distress or need of another life form.
