Empathy Quotes




I wanna know if you bleed sometimes
from other people’s wounds,
and if you dream sometimes
that this life is just a balloon —
that if you wanted to, you could pop,
but you never would
‘cause you’d never want it to stop.


 


When you ask someone why they stayed when they could have left the heartache, the pain, remember, there are days when even you have chosen the hell you know rather than the hell you don’t. —How to Empathize with Situations and Pain You Do Not Understand
 

 








You are still the child who gently places
fallen baby birds back in their nests.
You are still the soft soul that gets
your heart broken over cruel words
and awful acts when you watch the news.
You are still the gentle heart who once
tried to heal a flower by trying to stick
its petals back when ignorant feet trampled it.

This is why you are important.
This is why you will always be needed.

Kindness is the greatest endangered thing.
And here you are, existing, with your heart so full of it.

I am a sponge for the emotions and energy of others. When spirits are high, my state of mind is calm and untroubled, like a wave rolling gently in to the shore, but surround me with anger or sadness, and like a ship in a storm, my mood sinks like a stone.

It’s not fair. People claim to know you through the things you’ve done, and not by sitting down and listening to you speak for yourself.



 




When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it’s like giving them emotional oxygen.


 


I need to learn how to stop destroying myself, stop being hard on myself and be nice to myself. I need to keep telling myself that I need to keep wanting something, something nice, something warm…so I can make other people happy. I can understand other people’s pain because I can love even after all that is left of me is gone because I have that strength.

I’ve always treasured empathy as the particular privilege of the invisible, the observers who are shy precisely because they sense so much—because it is overwhelming to say even a single word when you’re sensitive to every last flicker of nuance in the room.

Its come to my attention that the people
of this world have become so intolerant
of things that they don't understand,
BEFORE THEY EVEN TAKE A CHANCE TO
TRY AND UNDERSTAND IT.
To say that Caitlyn Jenner is not a woman
because she once was a man is disgusting.
Yes, there are other woman who deserved the
Woman Of The Year award more
than Caitlyn Jenner.
But that doesn't give you a right to
say she's not a woman.
You do not know how a transgendered person
feels inside themselves.
Just like a person without depression
doesn't know what it feels like to be depressed,
they don't know the inside feeling
that is not expressed.
So for you to say she's not a woman and
misgendering her is a blatant
act of ignorance and refusal
to use empathy to try and
understand something bigger
than what's inside your little box.
Makes me so mad.
The same goes for the ignorance of being 
scared of an entire race/religion/group of people
because a few psychotic
extrimists who happen to be a part
of said race/religion/group
decided to act erraticly 
and cause harm to others.
You CANNOT BLAME AN ENTIRE GROUP
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
FOR THE ACTIONS OF
A FEW CRAZY ONES.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
IT ONLY CREATES PROBLEMS.
LIKE PREDJUDICE.
Where have people's hearts gone??
Where is the empathy?
Why are we so quick to be 
enraged by stupid B U L L S H I T
that we don't stop to think 
"Hey. Is this a stupid thing
to get mad about?
Is my anger or fear logical?
Am I being an utter A S S H O L E
about something so senseless?"
