Herc,


We all want sympathy at times. Shit I am guilty of this too. It just doesn't work in the long run. The effect that you get from the sympathy only last for awhile, and then you are looking for more. What happens is that you get your fix from this feeling and need more and more. You never heal. You just get needier and needier.

Some people can't get out of that rut, and they just become emotional leaches. They stay a victim as Tammy put it.

Empathy is saying that you care about their situation, but you give advice, or offer a way for them to move forward. JMO!!!!
