This image deserves a post of its own:
Empathy is often misunderstood.
In order to share what I have recently learned about it, I decided to shoot a 2-part video explaining how I have gotten to understand empathy:
How many out of the 12 resonate with you?
Can you think of a number 13?
Has your belief in humanity changed?

Interesting topic.
All fit for me very well, only I lost believe in mankind. Probably I never had much faith in it anyway.
I’m too different in my way of thinking. Most people can’t follow and I’m tired of explaining all step by step.
So people can’t understand why I do what I do or why I think how I think.
A possible number 13: Always looking to become wiser
A possible number 14: Lack of envy
Yah, I have all of those traits and after 62 years of life I have learned to protect myself better. What ever our gifts, or strengths, they can also become our weaknesses and stumbling blocks. As Kermit the Frog used to say ” It’s not easy being green”.
I have all these traits and have for as long as I can remember. I have no sense of direction but never panic if I think I may be lost because my intuition always gets me to where I need to be when I need to be there. I try to just go with the flow of my instincts. I couldn’t tell you how many times I have slowed down to almost a stop while driving and it saved my life, or avoided something that would have ended horrible for me. I have learned the hard way to listen to my gut and not be influenced by others not to. Every time I don’t listen to my gut I regret it. I also have dreams and get flashes of things before they happen. I used to try to share some of these to try to help prevent it perhaps, but usually no one listens and what is worse, seems like somehow they blame you for trying to stop something bad from happening to them once it does when they don’t listen. I’ve actually lost a lot of friends because of this. Some that I still have just don’t want to hear it and say I am speaking it into existence which I think is just ridiculous. If by my words and thoughts the world could be changed it would not be in the sad shape it is in.
