Sometimes I just need some empathy.?

You need to tell your husband exactly what you posted here in a nice non-confrontational way because when we need some empathy they are thinking about ways to fix whatever is bothering you. Or they are trying to let you know they feel you are wrong in your thinking and how to fix that.\n\nHonestly they just don't know, they just want to fix it for you.\n\nMy husband did that and I told him, I don't need judgement, or for you to fix this. I need you to just listen and even if I say something totally irrational I need you to agree and just let me vent. If I need you to help me fix a problem or a need a solution I will ask you that, but right now I just need you to be supportive.\n\nAfter I told him that he has been very empathetic, and a wonderful support system in everything! :D

I have sometimes -only if I get a certain "feeling" that they are out there truthfully and sincere - I have a very stong intuition - I once gave a guy who was clearly homeless 20 dollars cause he said he needed cab fare to try to get to a shelter where they could help him - He said he was really trying to get his life back together - for some reason I believed him - then 3 years later I saw him working at a car dealership -as I was browsing around at cars -he recognized me first and said I was the only person to help him at that time and he was really down and out -he had lost everything -he said that what I did for him that day gave him a little spark of hope - and before I could even say a word he reached in his pocket and gave me back $20.00 - he insisted I take it and he just had the warmest most sincere smile of graditude I have ever seen - It made me feel wonderful that I took a chance and helped someone

are you kidding me? of course you need to let someone know how you feel ESPECIALLY if both know there is no future, AND obviously if there is no future and both know that, then i guess both know what kind of feelings it is, or what kind of feelings missing.

No-one feels great when they are hurting and no-one seems to notice or care.  What I learned many many years later is that I need to be responsible for my feelings and not let others rule how I feel.  If I am hurt, what is it that I need and how do I get that need met in a positive way.  Once I started focusing on what I needed in a positive way, the chances of my really being hurt by others rarely came up for me.

EMPATHY IS NOT YOUR STRONG SUI. I HOPE YOUR FRIENDS DO NOT ABANDON YOU IF YOU EVER BECOME ILL.

I think we all feel this way at one time or another...my famous description of myself is the b.o.n....blob of nothing lol...it is horrible to feel so low...but then,...I feel so guilty when I look around and see people so so much worse off than I am, and I wanna hit myself in the head and knock some good sense into it...I bet you have wonderful qualities, and sometimes, when it just don't seem to ever go your way..we have to step back and remember just what God gave us...and thank Him for giving us His Son,...as a sacrifice so that we CAN go on and live...Please..start remembering those things about yourself that shine and how  you can help others...and somewhere along the line, you will start to feel better..and say your prayers darling,..they will be heard...He always hears us...God Bless

I feel so down today that I may just offer myself to you. But then again, i'm vulnerable right now so don't listen to me.

I think you did the right thing to help - I would try and help as much as poss. I hope someone would help me if I needed them (not that I would be in such a state) but there are all sorts of other reasons you might need help from strangers - maybe you feel ill or something.  I don't think people help too much because they are scared of getting involved or implicated in something they are not part of.

Yes, It doesn't take much to hurt my feelings intentional or not. This is very hard to deal with.

Yes I do if I have the ability to give them the help they require, wether it be in a practical or monetary way help if it is in my power to do it, I do. Of course there are some things that are out of my control  now and I am limited but I have done so many times, while, I was able to, do things to help people even strangers and those who did not appreciate or acknowledge my help, These days I am on the other side and the one who is in need of help, yet there is none for me, but I do realise that now we are living in much harder times and people do have their own problems which need attention.
