Thoughts and prayers man.

Nah, Empathy Man would make sure the building is up to fire code and has fire escapes so the kid has less chances of getting stuck in that situation

Let's call Captain Hindsight next, I am sure he will have some good ideas.

"Kid shouldn't have been in the fire. Well, my work here is done. Captain Hindsight, AWAAAAAAY!"

slowly turns and walks away

That's Captain Obvious.

Captain Hindsight would point out leaving your scented candle burning unattended in the bathroom was a bad idea, or something like that.

Slightly different.

He does have hindsight, after all.

I've been noticing bugged images more often over the past week or so. I wonder what's up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Same. The preview works but when it loads fully it's just broken. I'm using the connect app but it's probably some buggy metadata.

compassion > empathy

Stop trying to FIX! I just want to feel heard.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that more like sympathy?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are correct. It IS sympathy. Sympathy acknowledges the situation. Empathy acknowledges their feelings, more like "I can imagine how this situation makes you feel."

I'd imagine empathy being that they would emulate the feelings of those like the woman. I fully expected him to get into a panic and start crying.

Discussion in all my relationships: "I just want you to listen to me, not try to fix the problem!". I think I'll just go for the guys next time I hear that...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They're only saying that because your suggestions aren't good enough. Keep trying to solve their problems, you'll get it eventually.

tbh the only reason I told my girlfriend to stop giving me advice when I'm upset is that she sucks at it. She only gives me obvious advice I already thought of and it's really annoying.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It also might be he's not assertive enough. It's not enough to tell them what to do, you also have to pressure them constantly to take your advice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I mean, that is a legit and valid criticism/request. Have you ever tried just listening?
