(110,159 posts)i am saying... empathy is something i do. i can do that. stuff where we are trying to give to others, i cannot do. like pity as in the person is a pitiful person. that is what i do not do.
self empowerment. individually we all get to own our own power to be who we are and what we want to create. it is not my job, nor do i want to do another person. i am busy with me. so, i take care of me, and leave others to do themselves. it does not mean i cannot address, discuss and think about behaviors... explore thought, it just means i cannot give to another. which we cant. if we do, it is only cause someone allowed and took.
for example. being called emotionally damaged. this is why i always, always say no. no one gets to create me as that. i verbally, out loud reject it. yet, some people might say, ya... and then they have allowed another to define them. no one can define us, but, we can allow others to define us.
