The One Where Ayana Explains Empathy

from Ayana Explains It All Hosted by Ayana R. Fakhir

Who doesn't like being told after losing their job or calling off a wedding that they'll get over it and they should have seen it coming? A lot of people. I'll explain why telling people this makes you a jerk and how there are jerks bigger than you ruining the world with their lack of empathy, how it impacts communities, why it is important, and how to learn it if you've lost it. Works Cited: "Verywell Mind" article "What is Empathy?"; YourDictionary.com "Powerful Examples of Empathy Statements"; James G. Blight and Janet M. Lang "Lesson Number One: Empathize With Your Enemy"; and "How to Be More Empathetic" published in the NY Times.
