Listening to this guy has helped me immensely through difficult weeks lately:

He is very gifted at threading gracefully some hidden truths in emotionally damaging relationships with narcissists and manipulators.

This, in particular, is a such a rarely discussed topic. He explains it very well—and made me laugh and lighten up, because the same impressions are shared from the depths of my intuitions.

Apples to oranges, heartaches to heartaches. Why do our comparisons build barriers, not bridges? Explore in my article: https://kellyserra.medium.com/whos-got-the-bigger-boo-boo-the-game-no-one-wins-e0171674b3eb

I, certainly, often find a bit gnostic the neat distinction between the most deleterious narcissistic personalities and those empathic people "enlightened" to the point of clearly seeing the evil present in these mechanisms, but not entirely false either.

At least, there's truth if we look at how these patterns unfold beneath a veil of legitimacy and apparent good social practices in our daily lives.

Today, I'm thankful that I have bandmates that have common sense, and care about others as well as themselves. It's a blessing to make original music with others, and a double blessing when you get along with one another too.

#FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #worldalzheimersmonth

A new post about how to protect your managers when in a position of leadership.

Sometimes having ADHD and being a people pleaser can be a superpower.

@nando161 Being #ActuallyAutistic is not an excuse for being a wannabe supervillain, a fascist or merely incompetent. He doesn't speak for me, however convenient the label.

Same with empathy. Some autistics are high #empathy , some are low empathy. I'm theoretically a low empathy autistic.

IMHO psychological differences around emotional empathy do not make you a bad person, nor do they make it impossible to act ethically. Emotional empathy can get in the way of doing the right thing; if it's too strong, it's easier to run away, and frequently people focus on the one tragedy they empathise with while ignoring the world burning around them, because the latter is merely a statistic.

Most billionaires come from family money and connections, and find a way to dump their costs on somebody else.

See for instance this slightly disjointed thread, which links some relevant wikipedia articles.

Wondering why a Midwestern-USian website run by a collective of non-Syrians has been so foundationally focused on the Syrian struggle?

Beyond basic #empathy and a mission that includes opposing fascist #disinformation, it is really a practical question; the recognition that our struggles are inseparable is essential to any liberatory work worth its salt.

This philosophical analysis by Yassin al Haj Saleh -- concurrent with the fall of Aleppo -- explains it all. #Syria

Everyone carries their own issues, but not everyone knows how to deal with them. Try to take a moment and understand that a person my have many battles they are facing. Approach each day and each interaction with an open heart to create an environment where people feel they can open up and feel understood.

🙌 Giving closure is an act of empathy and maturity. Let's not discard the emotional needs of others. Granting closure creates a path for trust, growth, and focused attention on what truly matters. 🌟 #Empathy #GrantClosure

Sometimes it’s difficult to realize that just waking up is a huge accomplishment. Strive to make the day the best you can with what you’re given.

Ever notice how easy it is to devise solutions to other people’s problems, but how hard it is to solve your own? There’s an opportunity there.
