I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

[quantum-jump]

Or, as my dad put it,

Sympathy: I know how you feel Empathy: I feel how you feel Compassion: is there anything I can do to help?

[paramourblessings]

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

[autisticcaleb]

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.

I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word and ignores me.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I can't bear this situation anymore. My brother suffers from bipolar disorder and his condition is extremely critical; he has anemia and malnutrition.

[hazemsuhail]

My brother is in grave danger. His condition is deteriorating due to the delay in treatment because I can't afford it.

Please donate; your help could save his life.

Every moment that passes feels terrifying for us. Watching my brother struggle like this is beyond painful, and I feel helpless standing by without the means to get him the treatment he urgently needs.

Please reblog if you are unable to donate!!

My brother Samer is fading and reaching out to you for help.

Even a small donation or a simple share could give him a chance to survive.

[hazemsuhail]

We are only asking for a chance for my brother Samer.

He urgently needs treatment we cannot afford.

I stand helpless, watching him suffer more each day.

Please help by donating or sharing. 🙏💙

[insanelesbianfujotron]

Please help Samer! Donate or share please

[hazemsuhail]

Today, my brother Samer had to be admitted to the hospital because we couldn’t find the treatment he needs for free, and its cost is far beyond what our family can afford.

It breaks my heart to see him in pain while we struggle to provide his treatment. 😭

Please, if you can, donate and if you can’t, please share. You could give my brother a chance to recover. 🙏

Reminder that this film, like everything relating to this brand, validated and puts money in the pockets of the man who spends his money like this. Cawthon is just one step removed from the re-legalizing of conversion therapy happening in America right now.

What’s particularly sad is seeing people smart enough to understand that supporting Rowling’s work is bad still somehow justify supporting Cawthon’s work because “the games are important to me.”

Cut off the parasocial umbilical cord and start exploring new art instead. Don’t say you can’t.

abjectly refuse to romanticize weight loss and malnutrition. that shit kills you. to starve yourself is crippling¹ even in the ""bearable"" "well I'm just hungry less" / "other people have it worse" / "it's only a few skipped meals" / etc ways. you have this fucking life and that's it so please if you do nothing else allow yourself to actually be alive in it. do you hear me? take your supplements and multivitamins and eat breads and meats and vegetables and fats and sugars and shit that just fucking tastes good okay? thank you

anyone pro ice should not be able to eat foreign food. lick a fucking boot if you’re hungry

“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

[nourasbasha]

In our lives, after all the traumas of war and loss of security we've experienced, I've felt what it means to be truly alone and vulnerable. But I promised myself that our four children would never feel that way again. Every day, I try to give them hope, security, and a normal childhood despite the difficulties surrounding us.

[nourasbasha]

Now, with every support from you, every share of every post, every donation, big or small, I feel we are not alone. You are extending a helping hand, giving our children a chance to see a better world, a chance to smile, and a chance for hope.

[nourasbasha]

This kind of true humanity, these selfless hearts, is what makes the love of life possible even in the most difficult circumstances. Thank you to everyone who contributed, to everyone who posted, and to everyone who stood by us on our journey to rebuild our children's lives.

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉
