My nan’s spare room.

I’m being genuine here, I sometimes feel sorry for people, not in a pity way or anything like that, I think, but in a, that must be tough way.

I often look at people at supermarkets who have to get a taxi to get their big shop. It’s costly enough as it is, but to have to pay for taxis must hurt.

You have my empathy.

I have wondered on the benefits of this. If your car usage is so low, it could be more economical to do it. Especially if you are on bus pass age, public transport couldnt be used to pick up the shop.

To feel sorry for someone who has to get a taxi or works in a job you would conside beneath you is not sympathy. It's quite arogant to asume that these people hate their lives, perhaps they are grateful people who enjoy doing these things.

I feel proud and applaud people who find difficulties in life and yet, no matter how hard things may get, they strive forward, never giving up.

I felt sorry for the autistic boy. The one I heard say to his carer. 'I like you, you take me out' as he was returned to his front door.

That made me tearful.

Considering how much crap has gone on with regards to that boy, it's quite evident he's just misunderstood and needs a bit more empathy than people are giving. I really felt for him.

Carers. Especially parents who have children with additional needs or with a life limiting illness. Watching your child struggle as you age yourself and wonder who will care for them when you no longer can. It's a horrific thought.

They deserve every support society can offer.

"
I bought my daughter up being a single parent for 11 years now, with no support and I'm damed sure I don't need pity. There is a great strength to people doing this alone, lots of people have their opinions of you but the situation simply makes your bond stringer.

I often look at people at supermarkets who have to get a taxi to get their big shop. It’s costly enough as it is, but to have to pay for taxis must hurt.

You have my empathy.

Sorry to pick this a part but feeling sorry and pity for someone isint showing empathy to them. That's sympathy two totally different things.

I once met some royals and I'll probably get flamed for this but one of the lasting impressions was empathy for them. Literally everything they did was orchestrated and planned to the nth degree, everything was scrutinised endlessly by the press, every item of clothing she wore was detailed (no one seemed to give a shit about his clothes).

For me, no amount of wealth or privilege could make up for having to live my whole life with every appearance outside of my own private land - no matter how big that is - being constantly controlled and monitored. So whatever my views on royalty, the humans involved have my empathy.

People banned from Forums for ridiculous reasons & Political Correctness.

Many Forums have untrained moderators so whether your local press or other sites they cancel healthy debate which in turn just stifles debate to keep one individual happy.

Ultimately cancel culture.

I do have some empathy with them also, but that is tempered by the fact that they also perpetuate this regimented lifestyle themselves.

Although having seen what happens when members try to break free of the “firm” a little maybe it’s no surprise they go along with it

I feel sorry for people who did not have a good childhood. I have heard horrible stories from friends of how hellish their younger days were due to bad parents and no interventions from outside resources.

Empathy is shown in how much compassion and understanding we can give to another. Sympathy is more of a feeling of pity for another. Empathy is our ability to understand how someone feels while sympathy is our relief in not having the same problems.

This my understanding and experience of the difference, based upon education, work and life situations ive been in.

People who know they're not well and go to the GP to be told they need to go on the pill, loose weight or simply there is nothing wrong with them. For them to develop chronic diseases that may have caught sooner and they'd have a better prognosis.
