Empathize With The User Above You.
December 9, 2015 at 8:56 pm
(This post was last modified: December 9, 2015 at 8:57 pm by Edwardo Piet.)
In this thread, the idea is to try and put yourself in the shoes of the poster/user above you, to see it from their point of view, to empathize with them.
To try to. Try. Because yes, even if they're a complete trollish asshole about to be banned: while they're still posting, whoever they are - whether they're a nice lovely AF user or otherwise, the idea is to empathize with the user above you.
I have no one above myself to empathize with yet, so I guess I can't start this off.
But hopefully someone will respond and we can get this going

There, there, I know having a cloaca is no fun, but maybe you can be reincarnated as a more advanced, non-turtley life form in the next universe ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I totally get why you'd start a thread like this. It doesn't change the fact that some people aren't deserving of empathy

I can see where you're coming from. And I feel like that a lot too lately Becca.
@ Vorlon. I think you're confusing sympathy and empathy
ETA: Oh, and this is an exercise. To try. Regardless of the fact it may not be deserved for some users. It's the empathy thread hehe.

I know speaking in couched riddles is your way of compensating for diminished genitalia, but we all support your verve, and know you're trying to cope as well as circumstances allow.

I understand that sometimes it's fun or therapeutic to try to be a butt Vorlon.

Is this your way of asking me for a dick pic to prove you wrong?
Not that I'd need to do that... but any excuse to provide one

I understand your willingness to post a dick pic, but showing off your body just because, can be a sign of trying to overcompensate for something. *hugs* know that I love you.

(Nah it's just me being an exhibitionist, like I said I have nothing to prove (but I could prove it)).
I know what it's like to feel concern for someone you care about, even if you only know them from a forum, as I do for you
