When someone shows you compassion, how does it make you feel? When you are compassionate toward others, how does it make you feel?
When someone shows me compassion it is hard for me to believe that it is an honest feeling. I'm not used to getting compassion.
When I show compassion toward others, I don't think they believe it.
@purpleTree4652
When we've been hurt many times, it can be difficult to believe in compassion from others. I cannot make you believe this, but I want to assure you that the compassion here is genuine 💙
@amiablePeace77
I feel good and normal showing compassion, it's who I am but I find it hard to accept it back 💜💕
@Amanda84
I hope your feeling will change the more you feel the compassion here in the community, hugs.
@amiablePeace77
@Amanda84
To be honest, I do feel the same way you do. Don't know why.
@SimplyCompassionate
When someone shows compassion to me, I feel more calmer and it is hard to accept it.
We are often more focused only on ourselves that we forget about the others around us. It is important to know that we are not the only people who are suffering and in need of comfort. There are many others who we miss to take notice of.
When I show compassion to someone else it makes me feel happy for helping other people in need of comfort. It helps me realize that I am not going through suffering alone.
I feel happy receiving/ giving compassion ... when both are running in parallel in life - theres a good balance. I feel the urge to give more ... hope I get to that place
When someone shows you compassion, how does it make you feel? Uncomfortable. I feel like I don't deserve it
When you are compassionate toward others, how does it make you feel? It makes me feel good, especially if I helped someone
@mytwistedsoul
You deserve compassion as anyone else! What happens when you talk back to that voice telling you that you do not deserve it?
@amiablePeace77
Normally, I am the compassionate person. However, with the state of my health, I appreciate those who show compassion to me because most understand what I am going through at the moment. But even to those, I can show compassion as well. It goes both ways.
Recently, I was at some café terrace when a neighbour walked by. I know he is not doing well at all and wanted to offer him a beer and a cigarette. However, due to an incident that I was not aware of, the staff did not want him to linger and refused to serve him. He did not protest and walked away. I did not ask what had happened. I felt compassion both for him and the staff.
@Fradiga
Nice that you do not judge any of them Fradiga but feel compassion for both!
@amiablePeace77
When someone shows you compassion, how does it make you feel? I feel like that is something special.
When you are compassionate toward others, how does it make you feel? I feel like I am doing something meaningful.
@amiablePeace77
When someone shows you compassion, how does it make you feel?
Validated.
When you are compassionate toward others, how does it make you feel?
Grateful that I possess a compassionate conscience.
@amiablePeace77
I feel overwhelmed like at first I love it and then slowly my head gets in the way and thinking about getting into a relationship scares the living *** out of me. I need help.
@emotionalHuman4187
Our thoughts can destroy any good feelings we have. So sorry that's the case with you right now! I hope you find the support you need here on the site.
I remember when I was about 19 or maybe 20 —-I was thousands of miles away from home and living with housemates, and one of my housemates made a carrot cake for my birthday. I was so touched that anyone noticed or remembered that I burst into tears. The fact that I remember this act of compassion and caring almost 45 years later says something. 😳I was so alone and had such a hard shell. I didn’t know people could be so kind.
