wait wait wait hold on...do you really have to be shown in a video who to raise your kids to be empathetic towards others? are you really that sad of a person you don't know who to teach your kid a basic thing like this that you gotta learn it form a video...
narcissistic children and adults are not capable of empathy, believe ME!
I am married to one and raised a daughter who somewhat lacks empathy and now a granddaughter I am desperately trying to teach this to...it usually leaves me with scars from her biting me!
Empathy is an impossible standard. We can never understand what we do not know. Empathy is impossible for the same reason that telepathy is impossible. We cannot read brain like a computer's hard drive. We certainly cannot network human brains at this point in time. As long as it impossible for you to guess what I am thinking or feeling exactly empathy will be impossible. Should empathy be possible is a scientific and ethical question. I wouldn't care to know the thoughts of another.
empathy is the ability to understand how other poeple feel from their point of view.
For example. I do one on one. During that time on Homework. he wasn't listening to me at all and was totally giving me a hardtime. After finisihing his homework. he could tell by my facial expression that i was burnt out because his homework took up the whole time, and he apologized said i'm sorry that i gave you hard time and i'm sorry that i wasn't listening to you." that my friends is empathy. Thank you!
It's impossible to "teach" someone empathy. Someone either learns it or doesn't before they are 33 months old. You can teach someone how to love another and how to be nice, but you cannot teach someone how to /feel/ for another person. It is something most people discover by instinct- "I don't want to do this because it would hurt this person and I don't want them to hurt." Having SYMPATHY is just feeling sorry for someone whose going through a hard time- sympathy isn't personal actions.
What for? They won't use it when they become adults. When the police came and hauled me out of the library, no parent of the children I had just finished teaching spoke a word in protest.
Sympathy and empathy are not the same. If you and your friend are on a boat and your friend gets sick, if you also feel sick that is sympathy. Feeling sick does not help your friend at all.
Understanding what you friend is feeling and needing without getting caught up in the feeling Is empathy. You can feel compassion for her as you bring her a cold towel for her forehead, and medicine to deal with the nausea. Empathy is a resourceful state of being, fearless and powerful.
One of the hardest things in life is to show empathy to someone and have the other person reject it outright or misunderstand your empathy and feel threatened or insecure by the demonstration of it.
If your empathy is conditional and if you get upset when someone else "rejects" your attempt at offering empathy, chances are it wasn't empathy to begin with. Empathy is a gift you give with no expectation of anything (approval, feedback, attention) in return. It can only be empathy if it's totally unconditional. Also note: "threatened" is not an emotion. It is an interpretation of what you think someone is doing to you. People are constantly mixing up feelings with thoughts/interpretations.

empathy is innate. You LOSE it through environment.....scarcity in the environment thwarts it.
