    I'm not sure I believe in empathic abilities, but I do believe in empathy. I also have read the science behind micro-expressions and body language and am full aware that some ppl are far more sensitive to those "languages" than others. Some ppl who think they are psychic are merely adept at reading micro-expressions.

    I could tell that the hot guy at the gym last night wanted a piece of this.

    Is this how it works?


    XD In dealing with micro-expressions and body language vs the supernatural, yes, this is *exactly* how it works.
    unless you just automatically assume every hot guy wants you, then no.. thats not Empathy, its Ego.. <3
    Yerp.

    I scanned this during breakfast with the boyfriend.. He thought some of it was very clever... To the women that asked why id bring this here to a fitness site, why not? Empathy is who I am, its part of my everyday life.. just like being fit.. It would only stand to reason id want to find like minds to motivate and be motivated by! ..:-))


    Just how I am in life

    People pick the strangest things to make up about themselves to feel special.

    Just wanted to say you seem like a really nice person and the fact that you're having a positive attitude throughout the whole thread makes me want to be friends with you :smile: :flowerforyou:

    For the record, I don't find the Rosa Parks thing to be offensive in the least.

    /.02

    Me either, but i really dont like thinking that i did offend someone.. This whole post started by me just trying to find some common ground with other people getting in shape.. I didnt think itd be like this..

    A real empathy would have had more empathy for Claudette Colvin. Just sayin.

    This. And any number of things can generate a particular habit of paying attention to those things. Children who grow up in abused or unstable homes, adults who find themselves in unstable jobs or relationships - it's a coping mechanism. Built to help read the unspoken signals of when **** is about to rain down from the skies so you can batten down the hatches and survive the coming storm.

    Nothing psychic. Nothing special. Just a coping mechanism. Useful? Yes. Necessary? No. Psychic?

    Hi there,

    I recently got married and lost a total of 11 kg, now that I am married I need to get inspired again.

    Any advise

    Might be better if you created your own topic about that. You'll get more specific and tailored replies. It's also general forum etiquette to not "hijack" a thread by asking unrelated questions in another thread. (Not trying to be harsh, MFP seems to be a lot of people's first internet foray, so it's possible you didn't know.)
