I think u can have it taught and be an innate thing, however, it needs to be enforced from a very very early age. I'm a person with a very high level of empathy, and seeing how people do not operate on that level is very weird and scary to me (u know u know) but I do think it can also be taught to someone to understand u need to treat people a certain way. But unfortunately I think that its kind of getting out of practice now :(

someone said it best before- it’s a muscle to develop and flex regardless of how endowed with empathy one has at the onset, the aim is always to grow, yo! cognitive feels starchy, sometimes innate too invasive so also inportant to hit the right note❀️

I just think of this all the time. Although we can always agree or share the same things that other people might do (especially those that have a conflict with our moral compass), I think we can try to put ourselves in others' shoes, and try to see others persons' point of view. Not to agree, but to learn and understand a little bit better where they are coming from. I try to do this. I confess... I'm not an angel, or the best person in the world. I have a lot of flaws, but thinking of this, and trying this, has helped me to have a little bit easier life. What do you think? I'm open to learn more about your points of view πŸ€—

Nature vs. nurture is a false dichotomy. Biology and environment shape us together. Whether you're an empath or narcissist, empathy needs to be cultivated or it will wither away.

Late last year I was saying (as an astrologer and I was looking at the 2024 transits and just things happening in my life) that Summer 2024 is going to feel like soooooo many people coming back to their interests or personality traits that they had when they were younger!! We're just older, more mature, and now can actually really delve into our niche interests :)
in: wearing sunscreen, early morning walks with friends, yerbamate, skorts, summer playlists curated by friends, abandoning your phone for grass, trying new fruits, sincerity out: plastic water bottles, sweating, irish exiting (guilty…..), being a pigeon hater (nyc people unleash urself from this fear)
