Mm, I guess it depends on the situation! If I've been in that place before, I can definitely be empathetic because I know what it's like. Otherwise I can't really relate, but I'll be compassionate.
|
I... don't deal with it the same as others. I can sense/feel empathy, but I have a really hard time sharing it. It's not saying that I lack it or anything (this is a common stereotype of people with autism). I just seem to deal with it differently than any normal person does.

Sometimes too heavily, other times wayy too little. And I hate when it becomes the latter case. I don't want to seem insensitive or selfish :/ Am constantly working on it.
|
I know that I'm not an empathetic person and I'm working on it. It's very hard! I've used logic for a long time to protect my feelings from a history of sadness. Now I need to re-train myself to express my feelings and understand how other people feel.
Be true to your feelings! |
I've been taken advantage of way too much in the past, making it pretty difficult for me to show some empathy to others. Instead I'm just enjoying their suffering and despair. :)

Can't feel empathy.
Can feel sympathy, but not the same. |

I'm a no judgement zone as well and I'm able to relate very easily and I'm very approachable too. Relationship building with others is an important skill as well. |

but i can't say that i put much effort on changing that - guilt is a powerful motivator, but i wouldn't call it a healthy one. in the end, i'm a good person with a strong set of morals. i'm not going to force anything. |
