“The other person is entitled to their suffering. You don’t get to take it away, it’s their destiny.” The truest words have been spoken.

[@mythfire1461]

I didn't quite understand that, what does that mean? Why is it good to let someone keep their suffering?

[@wizardsongs5409]

@@mythfire1461 It's not really saying that it is good to let suffering continue or anything like that. It's that the suffering they face should not be invalidated but understood accurately from THEIR point of view. It's another way of presenting the idea of not judging someone if you haven't truly ''walked in their shoes'' so to speak. We all are struggling in life. The whole point of what we do is to try to live the life that gives us meaning despite the struggles we face. If you take away someone's struggle you are essentially denying their life it's meaning as well.

[@delanmorstik7619]

@@wizardsongs5409 What you said is half the meaning. The other part is quite literal: You cannot just fix someone's problem, because he is half addicted to that problem. You cannot give him the solution, you can just keep clarify the problem until its roots appears. And very often people even know it is that problem and they just do not wanna deal with it. They cannot let go of their problem, that is why it is a problem in the first place. So what you do is, you say: I hear you. You show to them you understand the problem. In fact, probably that is why they are arguing with you, they need you on their side. + Suffering, sadness or whatever emotion connected to problems is addictive just as any other emotion. If you just neglect it, take it away from someone they will just feel more miserable unless you gave them something to replace it.

How about you mention Nancy Pelosi, Adam schiff, Andrew Cuomo, that Whitmer lady, the DNC, Biden for his involvement with Ukraine sexual assault and the racist 1994 crime bill. There are also corrupt republicans but the obvious list of corrupt democrats is too awful to ignore. Trump is NOT a career politician so he is not included in this list. Now he is not perfect and I’m not claiming his business record is perfect, however he is not a career politician that made millions off the backs of Americans and he doesn’t use the FBI to spy on his opposition. He doesn’t restrict people’s First amendment rights. He donates his salary and works for the people! He is confronted with the MSM that uses strawman all of the time to make up lies in order to try to steal the election from him. So please, make sure you talk about ALL corrupt politicians not just what CNN tells you.

[@menew_mind_life_designs]

This is exactly what I learned while teaching kids math…sometimes, I can read their facial expressions and realize there was a disconnect. So, I would ask if there was someone that felt they could reexplain what I said and or demonstrate to the class, how to solve the same problem in kid language, or how to work a similar problem. I was often impressed that by adding “kid language” in they would try harder to understand so they could be the one to explain. Also, I had way more volunteers towards the end of the semester than the beginning. I also had some students that would use the same exact words but the class understood them and not me??? I concluded that I would not take it personal, because it wasn’t about me, I didn’t have to be the one that delivered the skill, I just monitored to ensure it was being explained in a way that was correctly consumed. Even if they used some funny terminology, the proof was on their paper. They felt more comfortable asking me if I could ask if someone else could explain something in “kid language” and they had created a safe atmosphere for making mistakes and learning….even when they started referring to me as an old person 🤣

My last relationship taught me patience. It taught me that arguing is only bad if you let anger control the interaction. An argument will be uncomfortable but it's important for both parties to understand that an argument or intense conversation is needed and quite unavoidable. You have to get through the entire argument. You have to ask questions and really investigate where a person is and what exactly they mean. I can make a statement, and until I explain it fully what I truly mean can't be described by that one statement. Do not fear argument. It is an Investigation on what's in each other's hearts and minds, and how else can you truly know who you're dealing with?

It requires resolution and constant strength and a sort of unfaltering self-respect, that for me anyway seems to border on narcissistic levels of confidence that you are nearly infallible.

It's also what Cathy Newman got ridiculed for. In that case she seemed to twist his words towards what she was saying. This highlights a pitfall to watch out for when using this principle.

[@johnmalcolm4822]

@@TranceCore3 If the only motivation you can find for doing the right thing is that it makes you feel good, well that's a good start. I feel however that that kind of payoff might not always be possible when trying to improve the bigger picture. I think there are many times when sincere empathy hurts a lot. Jordan sometimes cries when describing other people's plights.

[@Portia620]

Empathy is a horrible human trait! Gets you no where! Evil wins oh wait this guy doesn’t evil in evil.. then let’s say playing unfair and screwing others over. Just what I’ve seen and I always played the good side and didn’t lie was honorable and wow empathy let’s put it this way of complex PTSD now. Super power for awhile when I didn’t feel a thing after years of covert abuse tactics of manipulation and gaslighting and this guy doesn’t believe in narcissist? 😂🤣. We have many politicians that act that way so do we say that their sociopaths psychotic I don’t know I’m not a doctor but narcissistic is the only thing I have read that describes the crap that I went through so if that’s not what I went through I wish to find a new word for it. All I know is I’m making sure I learn as much as possible so I never go through that hell again!

[@PhilJonesIII]

This technique worked in a slightly more obscure way for me. I'd taken custody of my two sons but, as a result of the abuse they suffered earlier, was obliged to attend weekly visits with social workers and child psychologists. The problem was that I had to speak French and though my mastery of the language was 'good enough' for day-to-day use, it was barely adequate for the vocabulary I was now encountering. So, I repeated what I understood them to have said. It was daunting at first because I felt it was trying their patience. Not so, it actually increased their confidence in me. Hard work certainly but it paid back. More importantly, my sons are now thriving and doing well academically.

Following that rule is practically impossible in this world of folks lacking intellectual honesty and humility in pursuit of truth. They’re too stuck on their own ideas. I use this technique with behavior children at school and it’s very helpful in building relationships, respect, and logic. Adults look at you like 😳 when you start this method midstream in their hyped up assertions. It’s worth it just to see their face. It also helps to reveal who wants to argue just to argue, if a person truly understands their opinion, and if they don’t understand!

@@planetary-rendez-vous I have only shared this with my significant other. With my friends/coworkers/etc I don't tell them anything, but I enforce the rule for myself. It forces ME to listen.

[@penelopelambson9128]

Telling your story is futile when the response of the other person is to then tell something about himself, without any acknowledgment or further interest in what you have said. There is no curiosity, or connecting the dots from other conversations. What you have shared is merely a springboard for the other to talk about himself. It’s a form of being ignored and unheard.

[@mattystewart8]

Hence the title showing someone you do care....

[@sarahholloway8672]

Sounds like dealing with a narcissist.

[@jendlee9996]

I'm finding more and more and MORE people who do this.....

[@MrCardinal1965]

I think it comes down to the fact that ‘caring is currency’. We each arrive into relationships with different understandings of what care represents. Some people care in abundance, whilst others are severely impoverished in their capacity for care. Hence, we have to be discerning with regards to how we enter into relationships not based solely on our feelings, but on thought and observation (what are they like around other people?). This is my checklist for demonstrating and understanding another’s capacity for caring: 1. To enquire genuinely and sincerely about another’s welfare. 2. Showing interest in what someone is currently doing. 3. Being willing to spend time with another (Availability). 4. Actively listening. 5. Being attentive to the needs of others. 6. Offering support and protection (without disabling the other). 7. Showing empathy. 8. Being dependable. 9. Give and take. 10. Showing appreciation. 11. Being non-judgemental. 12. Celebrating successes. 13. Respecting another’s time and priorities. 14. Candour (will you tell me what I don’t want to hear?). 15. Seeking to understand the world from the others perspective. 16. Seeking to develop skills and talents (Wanting to develop the very best that is in a person).

[@MoonLynxWaterPower]

The art & practice of listening. Show people respect. Allow yourself to fully absorb the topic, issue, complaint. That not only shows respect, it also allows you to truly take in another viewpoint.
