    Is it always like this here? Because, you do understand that some of us are brand new here and haven't a clue of what's gone badly for you previously.

    Just a bit of fun.

    More or less.

    OK. Thanks. Then I think I've come to the wrong place :-)

    So long, and thanks for all the fish!

    Hey how about this time, some people take this opportunity to be kind and not ridicule..........

    OP: I started a thread like this one a few weeks ago, and as someone mentioned above, it didn't turn out well at all. I hope it goes better for you. :wink:

    Its much harder to be kind when you really dont have a reason to.. it shows true strength, depth, and character! :-) Sorry your post didnt end well.. :-( What was it about if you do not mind re-hashing it!

    Empathy is a human trait that probably goes back possibly more than 2 million years. Even bonobos have it to some extent (more than common chimps but less than humans). Non-verbal communication of emotion (among other things) pre-dates spoken language.

    some humans are better at this than others............ re the bit in that article about detecting "true" feelings underneath the facade, that's been shown to be an ability to read other people's micro-expressions (yes like on "Lie to Me" - that series is based on this particular branch of science). It's nothing supernatural, or even anything that unusual. And the fact that some are better at this than others, is because there's variation in any population. But compared to most animals, humans are geniuses at empathy, it's a trait we evolved, presumably because co-operation and helping sick and injured people in the group increased the group's chance of survival, and individuals who were more empathetic were more likely to do those things, and able to work together more effectively due to understanding each other at a deeper level. Anyway, my take is that the OP is better than average at reading micro-expressions and other non-verbal cues in other people, or maybe some neurological variation that leads to a great degree of empathy than average. If they can detect this on brain scans between bonobos and common chimps then it's likely something that shows some degree of variation within species as well.

    To be fair to the OP...there was a similar thread not too long ago and it didn't end well.

    Hey! I not a man :angry:

    Well, then I think we can rule Johnny out of the empath club.

    This was a wonderful read! And so true! I saw something in regards to this in a video 'Empathy in pictures' Not sure about "better" I dont feel im better than anyone or any animal in general on this planet.. As we all have our places.. But Id say I pay attention, Im aware of others.. That actually bothers people.. When you see past the facade they put out there.. (after all when youre happy theres no reason to steal anothers happiness ) It makes them feel like they have no privacy, that they are exposed to be judged.. When the truth is everyone will judge you, its how you judge your self that matters.. Just my opinion tho...
