Day 2: Something I love about myself

Day 2: Something I love about myself

I am very empathetic:
Empathy: the capacity to recognize and, to some extent, share feelings (such as sadness or happiness) that are being experienced by another sentient being

I find that for my job ( Youth Care Worker) I use empathy a lot. I may not necessarily know or understand what the person is going through but I definitely feel their suffering/joys/pain etc.

I sometimes think of it as a superpower….. (Wondering off into lalaland… Gayle wearing super tight shorts with a super tight sports bra that emphasise my breast. On the sports Bra the letter E in Yellow. Helping some human in dire need of being listened to…o…o…o I wondered off there sorry……. Back to reality)

I always say to the person... I DO NOT understand what your going through, nor have I been through it... BUT I see your feelings very clearly and this is what I see bla bla bla bla and the person either says yes your right or ummm no gayle not really and corrects me. I love it.. I use it everyday

Also want to put that Day 1 was something I hate about myself was openness/ no filter. But I do love that people can talk to me about anything and everything!!!!! There is no taboo subject with me. I am very open to new ideals or situations. So I think I can love that about me and hate it at the same time? (well I am not really asking but more less rhetorical question.. to myself)
