Empathy appears in
- two previous titles of this blog — Day 900: The opposite of empathy and Day 208: Another side of mind reading (empathy)
- this definition:
EMPATHY
- the imaginative projection of a subjective state into an object so that the object appears to be infused with it.
- the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner; also, the capacity for this.
- the actions of people I love, and
- a license plate from New Hampshire.
Empathy appears in all those places, but not very much in the news lately. Is it non-empathic of me to believe that most people in the news don’t seem to have the capacity for it?
Are any of my other photos from yesterday infused with empathy?
If I were the Queen of Amazing Empathy, I wouldn’t have eaten all those mussels last night.
Alanis Morissette might be the Queen of Amazing Empathy.
I believe that gratitude is part of empathy, so thanks to all who contributed to today’s blog and — of course! — to you, for your empathy.

Your empathy is one of your best qualities 🙂
It takes one empathic person to know another one, Alex!
Thanks 🙂
This meeting is bullshit applies to a date I just had. Having a pleasant time and he turns to me and says “You know theres a reason why …(named a few world leaders) have been to Antarctica recently?”, with a knowing look. I suddenly realized that all the empathy in the world could not rescue this conspiracy theory casualty Ouch!
Ouch! I feel your pain. ❤
Where can I get a pair of those socks?! I need them so badly…
You have my empathy and here’s a link to the socks on Amazon:

Thanks!
Fun fun for a Monday morning. I empathize with all who have to go to work, for I too have to go to work! You bring a smile to my early morning face, though!
Thanks for your empathy, Claudia! ❤
❤️💚💙💛💜
I can relate, Ann.
I relate to your empathy, Mark. ❤
You are the Queen of Amazing!
It takes one Queen of Amazing to know another one, Louise!
A new expression I hear quite a bit these days is “Can you feel me?” instead of “Do you understand?” I like it. I think it signals an awareness that it’s important to not just intellectually understand what another person is saying. We have to understand how others feel–we have to have empathy–to really help each other.
I feel you and your empathy, Chris. ❤
Thanks for your empathy Ann!!!
Thank you for yours! ❤
Very cool, to be able to say the meeting is bullshit without saying the meeting is bullshit!
Very cool of you to notice, Sunny!
This meeting might be bullshit, but those socks are the bee’s knees.
Your comment is the bee’s knees and that’s no bullshit.
I think I chuckled one too many times during your empathy post. The socks and the tree plaque elicited emotions from me…..I guess I do feel empathy for the all the bullshit meeting goers (been there) and I’ve often been near a spot where something/one was admired…..
Thanks for all your beautiful empathy, Colleen.
You rock! Sorry to have lost touch, Ann –
You rock, Julie, and no need to apologize! ❤
Love this post Ann 💕 it oozes with empathy, just like you 😊
