I asked this question on Questioning Me but got the dreaded nonce verification so apologies if it comes through twice.
HG, If you have time please.
1. Is there such a thing as empathy mis-targeting? Emotional empathy isn’t eroded necessarily but it is directed towards the wrong person or situation?
Also.
2. When emotional empathy erodes, is it the case that the individual loses empathy for those at the furthest point of the circle of empathy first? Or, might the empathy erosion be directed inwards towards the empath herself perhaps making her more self critical? Or might the empathy erosion show itself by the empath having less energy, less patience for all people included within her circle of empathy? Which is most common?
1. Do you mean someone´s emotional empathy is directed towards something that is undeserving of that person´s emotional empathy?
2. The erosion might be directed at one person only and other individuals in the circle are unaffected or the erosion may be more widespread and affect all members of the circle, starting with those on the outer fringes first.
HG,
“ Do you mean someone´s emotional empathy is directed towards something that is undeserving of that person´s emotional empathy?”
Yes. Perhaps not entirely undeserving, but, let’s say the emotional empathy latches on to one aspect wholeheartedly, a less deserving aspect, and therefore overlooks a second more deserving aspect.
Point 2 regarding empathy erosion understood. Thank you.
TS,
Number 1 is a very interesting question and I think you’re on to something. I would bet our overall beliefs can cause our empathy to mistarget. I would also bet that if someone doesn’t have the same beliefs, that might reduce our empathy for them as well. I think that’s happening quite a bit in the world right now. I would think that our emotional thinking must be at play somehow too.
