Comment on Where’s Our Empathy? Really? by Kathy

Hey Ryan (if that’s your real name),
Thanks for your opinion, and assumptions. (Look! Another comma!)I never “make friends” at work. I am friendly, and I do socialize. But I keep my extracurricular activities separate from my office-mates, as well. It’s never been good practice to mix business and personal. (Even more commas!)

And I had no idea that EVERYONE had feelings! Thanks for the update! I’m surprised you even care that people have feelings (since you don’t give a fuck about empathy). I also empathize with anyone that reports to you now, and in the future.

Oh yeah, and thanks again for your opinion! :)

So many comments come to mind, but to summarize all of these thoughts, you’re a dumbshit. You’re the kind of idiot who thinks everyone deserves a participation trophy, and that everyone is their own special person, like a snowflake… and you’re wrong. Very, very wrong.

You mention about these personality types of people have feelings too. Well, guess what… EVERYONE has feelings. The difference is that some of us choose to go about our work day in a professional way, like we should, and some people decide to act like idiots.

And what about empathy? Fuck empathy. I come to work to work, and get my job done. I don’t show up to socialize or to make friends. Why? BECAUSE IT’S WORK. I don’t want people wasting my time, or in a team environment, wasting EVERYONE’S time because they don’t know how to act.

And for Christ’s sake, lay off the commas. Reading your article made me wonder if you owed money to guy who has stock in commas.

Thank you for your input Chantale. But I’m not lashing out at anyone (Kelly or otherwise). I’m simply showing another side of how that article can be taken. You and everyone have the right to your opinion.

Thank you for commenting! :)

I do not believe that Kelly (aka cordelia) was saying that any of these people should be told they are as such. She was making light of these personality quirks and helping us look at our own. Kelly is a very positive and empathetic person, judging from the pieces I have read by her thus far.

You mentioned you are a light person when someone told you to lighten up, but I think you may be faking that a bit. A light person would read the article and get the joking nature and not base an entire blog post on it.

By the way, blog etiquette would denote that you need at minimum 75% originality in your post in order for it to truly be a meaningful and interesting piece. However, if copying another bloggers work to make your point is your bag, then blog on empathetic one.

I wish I could attest to that, but sadly I’m obviously not. I’ve just learned to adapt. I bring my iPod, walk away, change my environment, etc. It’s the only way. We must adapt in today’s society.

I’ve also watched people get hurt by things like this.Which reminds me how I felt when something hurt me, and I empathize.

For example: There’s a little girl in the neighborhood that’s constantly making high-pitched, chirp-like sounds. At first I thought it was cute. Now after about a year of hearing this – everyday – it drives me batty! But how much damage would I cause her, if I went out there and yelled at her to please stop? Or asked her parents to “Please keep her quiet.”?

Solution: I turn my music up, and close my slider when she “sings” her strange little songs. (And no they’re not songs by any means, just what I described earlier.)

And do I get annoyed by others quirks? HELL YEAH! I just keep it to myself, because I’m well aware I have my own annoying quirks.

You are clearly more evolved than the rest of us.

I did read it twice, which is what prompted me to write. But I understand, and accept, that you might not agree with me. I never expect everyone to. ;)
