Thank you. I will try to practice this today. I am sure I am guilty of the at least business. No more.

3. I think

this is simply put for the many of us that are at a loss when someone is suffering... "what do I say?" the listening and connection are the important thing

2. What makes something better is connection?

So true. I guess the GOP is totally screwed then. They connect with no one!!! It's all about me.

5. Appreciate you posting this.

I quote Brene' Brown often in discussions about empathy. I'm on her e-mail list and always look forward to her words and the wisdom she imparts.

Blessings.

I love animation as it can make a point very well. This was brilliant. Thanks for posting.

8. And unfortunately

a lot of people who could use an empathetic friend or two are in so much pain themselves, they find it difficult to lay their troubles out. Two family members always insist, "I'm fine" when they're clearly not. Very sad.

10. good obseervation

if many could trust a friend or family member to be empathetic (as opposed to being sympathetic or critical) it would go a long way towards healing
