RE: I Know Exactly How You Feel?

in kindness • 6 months ago

Thank you very much for the clarification and insight. The statement "I know exactly how you feel" is a common statement.

It is very true that one can not and will never understand how deep the other person is actually feeling, so trying to label your own trauma to the other person, is just yet another big problem entirely.

The best thing is to just sincerely listen and ask how the person is actually feeling at the moment.

I usually say that statement initially but now I know better.

This is really enlightening. I especially appreciate the "common empathy mistakes." There's no one listed there that has a lesser importance than the other; the five points are all unique and peculiar in there own way.

Thanks alot @gregscloud for this timely information and thank you @Inkind community for making this possible.

I am just wondering, Is there any particular topics or concerns to talk or post about, I would really like to participate more often here.

I am really curious right now?🧐🤨

Cheers 🥂 friends in the @inkind community.

Keep sharing the love🫶🥰

My warm regards😊👋

    “The best thing is to just sincerely listen and ask how the person is actually feeling at the moment.”

    Yes, indeed. Oftentimes, people just need to say how they are feeling and be able to feel heard—really heard.

    “I especially appreciate the ‘common empathy mistakes.’”

    I am glad that you found value in them. We are all guilty of not truly listening at times, even when we try and pay attention to it. We are human, right?

    “I am just wondering, are there any particular topics or concerns to talk or post about? I would really like to participate more often here.”

    I have not been on Hive for a while, and I am just coming back on. I would love to get the community more active. I would love to see any kind of posts that are kindness-related or promote good mental health—people sharing kind acts they have witnessed or even done. Not for self-recognition, but more because someone may see something and think it’s a good idea—something they hadn’t thought of but would like to do or try.

    The community is just Kindness, by the way, and I always use the tag #Kindness.

    It is very nice to make your acquaintance, and I look forward to interacting more. 🙂
