♡ types of empathy + examples . . .

cognitive empathy . . .

ー cognitive empathy is understanding someone's thoughts and/or feelings. this is when you intellectually understand what someone else is feeling, without necessarily feeling it yourself.

ー example: imagine your co-worker is nervous before giving a big presentation. you don't necessarily feel nervous yourself, but you understand why they feel that way, so you offer them encouragement.

ー how it feels: you recognize the emotion/feeling logically. "ah, they are anxious because of the pressure" ー but you are emotionally neutral or calm about it.

emotional (or affective) empathy . . .

ー emotional empathy is feeling with someone. this is when you actually feel the other person's emotions, as if you were experiencing it yourself.

ー example: your friend bursts into tears after a breakup. as you comfort them, you suddenly feel heavy, heartbroken, and your own tears start to well up, even though it's not your breakup.

ー how it feels: your emotional state mirrors theirs. it might feel automatic and intense, almost as if you are "catching" their emotion.

compassionate empathy . . .

ー compassionate empathy is feeling and acting to help. this type of empathy combines understanding & emotional feeling, with the desire to help and take action.

ー example: you see someone on the street shivering without a coat in the winter. you feel bad for them (emotional empathy) and feel motivated to give them your scarf/buy them something warm (action).

ー how it feels: there is a strong pull in your chest, an urge to do something to ease another person's suffering or problems.

I have came to the realization that if I ever get on T, I will probably look exactly like my father. What the hell

Being touched is for dorks (i'm just autistic)

ponyboy gets frequent hiccups and they’re always the really harsh and squeaky kind. he gets so pissed at himself for them and it’s so funny

"there are only two sexes, it's literally third grade biology!" and pronouns are taught in kindergarten and you dont seem to understand those either

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

is being called a person supposed to make me feel dysphoric 😞

i don't understand why my friends think i have a speech impediment (nothing wrong w having one, i just haven't had one since i was 6-ish) (i can't tell if they're trying to be rude or joking when they say that tho), but i think it's because i talk VERY fast and my words get jumbled,, That's the auDHD at work, i'm assuming
