  • I find that I both have and don't have empathy. I have empathy because I am fundamentally a decent human being, I hope, and care about other people. But I don't have empathy in the sense that I don't actually /feel/ anything in response to other people's emotions. If someone is sad, I know that I should try and comfort them, but I don't feel sad because of their sadness, is an example of what I mean.

    I dont understand what empathy even means anymore. There is also compassion, sympathy and i don't even know how they differ. And than people also talk about effective and cognitive empathy.

    @Rodafina I have heard of alexithymia and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something I have myself.

    Seems common here. And clearly, doesn’t prevent one from being a decent human being (as you noticed in yourself). Or a fabulous one!
    Did the New Profile Posts thing vanish for anyone else earlier today or was it just me?

    It vanished for me too, then someone (was it Forest Cat?) messaged Dragonfire about happy birthday wishes, and then from one post eventually everyone got all their post spots back.

    There was a small glitch in the matrix. Gnomes or some such...maybe it was gremlins.
    I will never enable post notifications on any website.

    I have notifications from this place. They don't interrupt anything.
    There's no requirement that I must attend to them
    the moment they arrive.

    I can understand your point of view @Princess Viola . I have them disabled too, I don't like my inbox getting flooded with messages. I find the on-site notifications work well enough.

    @tree That's fair, I just don't like them and they're not how I want to interact with websites. If there are notifications, I will see them when I visit the website.
