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.
seeing ppl with disorders you're sure you have, displaying different symptoms as you feels like such a fucking invalidating feeling for no reason. Like no no no no stop it. You can't do that. I don't do that. Stop.

hello there, i am a severely disabled trans person who is currently developing crohn's disease who also deals with arthritis, schizophrenia, and hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. i have been very sick for the past 6 months, dealing with unhealthy rapid weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diahrrea, constipation, dehydration, exhaustion, brain fog, and malnutrition. i have barely been making any money lately because of how sick i've been, so i have fallen behind on electric bill payments due to having to prioritize rent.
i am too sick to get a conventional job at this time, i currently make my living with my online shop where i sell handmade jewelry, accessories, zines, and paintings. i also offer traditional illustrations on card stock, and custom jewelry and keychains! :) you are more than welcome to ask about requests for custom jewelry and keychains and i will see if i'm able to fulfill your request! i also have a gofundme for saving up for my rent & bills

Trying not to listen to your thoughts abt your life past 10:00pm (It is not working)
Questioning if you're AIAB is a crazy experience. The thought of my parents having potentially had me get surgery as an infant for the sake of conforming to the "binary" of AGABS, or the possibility of nobody knowing that my body is like this or what's up with it, feels so weird. It makes me question if it's all in my head, but then I look at diagrams, and think about my family history, and think: "It does NOT fucking look right", and have a mini existential crisis for the 100th time.
What do I even do in a rlly low period of my mental health, sleep?????? Thats my only coping mechanism other than bottling things up and the thing we shall not name.
today is one of those days where I'm pissy and can barely even push up a bit of sympathy, so that's wonderful /s
