Are you empathetic?

Tweet

Hello fellow mylotters...i was wondering how many of you consider yourself empathetic? I really feel like I am a very empatheitc person. I can look at people situations and really feel what they are feeling. We recently lost my nephew it will be 2 years in October, and sometimes i will find myself thinking of my sister and how she feels, I then get so upset and have to stop myself from thinking about it..it's like i cant fully engage becuase i feel the pain. I hate having to stop i feel bad for it..becuase she has to feel it everyday. In a not so personal situation....i can feel the pressure and emotions clearly of stories i hear in the news. For instance the father whos daugher and wife hired a hitman to kill him...I watched the video and i could immediatly beging to feel what he would be feeling...then i tend to overthink the situation and I feel all the different feeling that thses people would feel. Another example is the Nadya Suleman Octomom situation. I also think she is being very selfish. But i really feel for the kids, and although i think she should have to be punished for making selfish choices, I also dont think her kids should be taken away...those are her babies. But at the same time i do understand everyone elese feeling towards this. But i listen to her story and i can understand why she would not want to get rid of those embyos. Things like that DO you consider yourself to be empathetic...what are your stories of empathy?
