Talk:Empathy

Removed paragraph from practical issues section

I removed the following paragraph:

"Early indicators for a lack of empathy:

1. Frequently finding oneself in prolonged arguments
2. Forming opinions early and defending them vigorously
3. Thinking that other people are overly sensitive
4. Refusing to listen to other points of view
5. Blaming others for mistakes
6. Not listening when spoken to
7. Holding grudges and having difficulty to forgive
8. Inability to work in a team"

Original revision where the list was added: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Empathy&diff=prev&oldid=819626540

It was a highly specific list for which a source was not added since 2018. I will try finding some source for it and maybe it can be added again; I made this section in case someone wishes to help finding sources or wants to discuss whether the list belongs to the article.

Thank you for reading this. Apolo234 (talk) 08:50, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Clinical Empathy

Clinical empathy is the skill for doctors, physicians, and other practicing medical professionals ought to take into their practices daily. Medical professionals also tend to change the meaning of empathy, seeing as detachment can be helpful in high stress situations. However, understanding how patients feel in these similar situations can be beneficial to treating many individuals as well. ~~~~ Ethanbonham (talk) 03:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

inaccurate, biased, uniformed statement perpetuates the myth that autistic people lack empathy

This part of this article is not true nor is it founded in research. This inaccurate, biased, uniformed statement perpetuates the myth that autistic people lack empathy. This myth has been imagined and disseminated by non-autistic 'researchers' who view autistic behaviour and appearances from a normative, neurotypical framework. Here is the harmful statement: "Because empathy is rooted in our ability to imitate their painful experience, people with disorders that inhibit them from social understanding/connection may experience difficulty portraying empathy for others. The people could include individuals diagnosed with Asperger's or autism." Please delete these sentences for the above reasons, but also because humans can also experience empathy for positive experiences not just painful. Samoidsamurai (talk) 22:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I understand that this can seem biased. According to various research, even ones that have been done in the last five years, there are connections between struggles with empathy and autism. I agree that it should be reworded nonetheless. I will search for another source to add that clarifies your point. Mic20020 (talk) 20:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh jeez, I'm a austistic person and that offend me very hard, are you telling me that there are no people who disrespect autistic people? In the world there are good and bad people, and now I ask you, is or not important of talk about the prejudice towards autistic people?

Because if this a myth, that's not exist, so let's forget homophobia, racism, sexism, let's pretend that all this doesn't exist, you realize how deny other's pain may be really dangerous.

Your speech even is valid, indeed, some people cause a lot of emotional drama and in this regard it is important to maintain critical thinking, but having critical thinking does not necessarily mean that the other person's pain should be ridiculed or denied. 177.105.90.87 (talk) 22:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
