    Empathy is a great trait to, at least, understand deeper what others are trying to say and express. However, empathy is also known to be one of the cause of compassion fatigue in medical workers. It doesn't mean that medical workers shouldn't use empathy towards their work in order to detach themselves from traumatic situations experienced by patients, but empathy also needs to be accompanied with resilience. Being empathetic towards other (and of course themselves) and having a resilience trait might be great to endure experienced daily work stress, let alone giving empowerment towards people in need.
    Of course these two concepts/variables cannot stand by themselves alone, we still have to look up for another things such as workplace culture, leaders' leadership trait, wellness and development programmes, etc.

    I'm glad she emphasized how you can be empathetic towards fictional characters or strangers towards whom you never say or do a thing.
    Understanding someone else does not predict, at all, what you'll do with that ubderstanding.
    You could understand me, then
    -support me
    -destroy me
    -sell something to me
    -change my mind
    -ignore me
    -decieve me
    -manipulate me
    or any combination of those😮

    I am in Teaching line and i can understand what point she is making.
    Most of my colleagues who are considered to be lacking empathy for students are the one's who are always busy.
    They either lack organization of priorities or have too much academic burden.
    Yes, that is directly related to your ability to make yourself available to students.

      People dan have sélective empathy. Maybe you are with dogs, but not with cats or human.
      I am serious about the possibility to be selective.
      I know several men who are very kind with their children but not with their colleagues.
      For example passive aggressive people are known to be very nice with most people and very aggressive with a selection of some.

      @@Benoit-PierreWe, as humans, are very complex and sometimes misleading . . . And a situation is also very complex than you thought !
      That’s why it’s important to put some discernments and nuances about someone and what happened . . . And also it depends on the person and the situation too . . .
      I have empathy or compassion for everyone ! That’s ridiculous ! Just like I don’t have empathy or compassion for everyone ! Whether it is one or the other is very general and even wrong . . .

    Very interesting AND entertaining talk on a subject I've been interested in for some years now. You've got a lovely personality, Alison Jane. Being English myself, I was particularly struck by your linguistic issue with the word "quite". Unfortunately you didn't say if in the end you kept the fiancé or if you sent him on his way... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

      Yeah, definitely don't drop the night before. Predicting how people will feel the next day is harder than figuring out what they feel right now.

    Most of the empathy tha people display is biologically determined through personality and to suggest that you can train someone to be more empathetic is kind of postmodern. Discernment is more productive and important then Compassion, sympathy, and empathy unless they are infants or elderly etc. It's becoming a little more pathological and tyrannical in today's climate. Overly cauthaling people and worrying about their feelings develops a weak generation full of trigger warnings and safe spaces. it leans too much on the feminine which manifests itself in the devouring mother, and most of the time politeness Trump's truth. Coleman Hughes experience with Ted talk is a good example and many others. Do a talk on Discernment an agency cuz that's a crucial, valuable, and helpful conversation to have.
    There's a lot of issues with the term "empathy muscle"
    1: Oversimplification
    2: Linearity vs. Nonlinearity
    3: Neglects Contextual Factors
    4: Fosters Unrealistic Expectations
    5: Misrepresents Empathy Fatigue

    Wrong, you are born with empathy, how it develops up until your adulthood, is based off values you are taught.

    • @Hottiehoes
      @Hottiehoes 2 місяці тому +1

      Some people are born with it, but some people can learn to do it as a skill. it’s like learning to be assertive or passive etc. I think it’s a little bit more difficult to learn empathy than most things, but you can do it.
