response: Well, Why do you feel you don't have the capacity to put yoursell in another person's position?
original_response: Empathy and in general understanding others is very difficult, but it is a muscle that has to be worked to get better
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. I can only imagine. Speaking of sympathy, did you know that it comes from Greek words? "Syn" means together and "pathos" means feeling I did know that. I feel like I don't have empathy as well
knowledge: Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's position.
