Psychologist On How To Be More Empathic | Empathetic

If this was taught in every school the world would be a far happier place. Thank you.

This was really helpful to me I’m a naturally selfish person and I want to be a better friend to people and create genuine connections with friends rather than superficial ones so I’m hoping these tips can help me thank you so much 💙🙏🏼

What should be taught is to have the right amount of empathy. You can have too little and have too much. It's why temperance is a virtue. If you have too little you can't understand other people's perspectives. If you have too much you are allowing yourself to be used by narcissists and psychopaths. When you constantly put others ahead of yourself, which is what too much empathy leads to you, you forget to love yourself. If you don't love yourself. No one else will. Everything must be balanced. Empathy can be beautiful and destructive. It's not only good. The amount matters. Too much empathy also leads to enabling.

Empathy adds muscle to the duty of care we owe each other. Thank you.

You can't learn how to be nice, they said. Sure you can! I'm honestly surprised how this isn't taught in school. This is such an important aspect in relationships and your video helped me understand so much. I used to force solutions onto others, not realizing its not about giving solutions. It's about being there and understanding the other person, thank you so much for releasing this content for free 💙🙏🏼

“Ready to be surprised” So beautifully put!

Patrick King’s, “How to Listen, Hear & Validate” is a GREAT book. Read it 3xs, typed all the suggested validation statements in my ph, read them 2-3xs per week. Ppl, (esp women) open up to me like CRAZY!! Dope vid btw. He mentions everything you’ve stated in his book.

The world is in a such a dark place. We need more of this type of content!

Thank you so much for this! Extremely helpful.

Thanks for the video! Now I'm confident that I'm not lacking empathy. What I can do next is determine if a person is just telling a story or lowkey venting or asking for advice.

Excellent explanation on empathy and how to properly implement it in a real life situation, thank you so much for this video.

Hi maika, thankyou so much! You helped me a lot in solving my problems.i wish you a great success...

My guru taught..."Truth is the gateway to love..." Seek truth... and you will find love... "You can't give away something you don't have..." Wayne Dyer 😍😍

A+...a complex topic described in a clear and logical yet heartfelt manner. Good job, Maika.

Great listen! I am currently about to start my clinical to become a certified addiction counselor and I am absolutely going to use these skills. Thank you for making a great educational and understandable video!

Thankyou for simplifying. And your formula is easy.

Thank you for sharing this in such a thoughtful way!

Using this as a new social experiment for getting better at empathy instead of just saying "You'll be alright" or "It's nothing big"

Wow! I'm watching your video for the first time and love the way you explain everything yourself. So good😊

This is good news! Empathy can be learned!
