hurt? Feeling really bad? Do you even TRY to help them? Or do you just say to yourself "They will get over it and be ok" and leave them alone? Sometimes I just feel the world is so unkind. Except to those who are a minority, handicapped, old, from another country etc. What about the rest of us? Unless we are one of those above, we don't count because we don't have it AS bad as they do?

Yes, always. I am a very empathic human being. The pain of others is something that I cannot ignore. I feel that we need to look out for others, and not just ourselves. These days so many people only care about themselves and those that are close to them. I think we need to broaden our horizens and our hearts and really care about people that we don't even know. When I ask someone how their day is, I really am expecting them to tell me. If something is wrong, I want to hear about it. Because maybe, in some small way, I can help.

I am very aware when someone is upset. I am empathic. I do try to help them by asking them if they are upset and why or what has caused them to be upset. If they ask me to leave them alone. I will but I will let them know that I am available if they'd like to talk.
The world is unkind. Most people today are selfish. All they ask is "What's in it for me?" If the answer to that question is nothing - then they don't bother.
The other issue with society today is that so many people are miserable that caring about others tends to be prioritized. The most miserable are spotlighted over others. It shouldn't be that way. Unfortunately it is.
I try to help as many people each day as I can. I say kind words and send out positive vibes. Some days I feel like I am so emotionally and spiritually drained that I cannot make it another second but other days the return is so great I'm energized for a week.
Bright Blessings to you!

I always find a way to talk to them, at least tease them to spill it out, then I will shut up and listen, sometime people only need someone to listen to what they have to say instead of asking for advice, the world is not unkind, just some people are being selfish, I am not handicap, old ...., but I care.

not every time i pass by a human who is up set i want to help goodness no that alone would be a full time job!
but the people i care about and who is directly in my life at that time and surrounds i either ask them what is wrong or if i don't feel like being down myself i will say something funny or stupid or inspiring or bright to help lighten the mood!
I can't change how they feel only they can! so if i'm positive they have two choices
get mad at me for enjoying my day and not dropping the world because something didn't go as planned in there life.
or laugh it off and go with the flow and realize that bad things happen but it's how you deal with them that matters!

Yes, I see if they are ok, offer them a tissue, a drink of water or tea/coffee. Sit down with them and let them talk if they want to.
Society has changed from a few years ago, years ago you could walk down the street and people you didn't know would stop and and hello and smile. Now everyone walks straight past with their eyes to the ground. I guess some people don't trust humankind anymore and are self-absorbed.

I always worry when someone else is upset. I do my best to help them feel better about it, but after a certain point I will leave them be. Sometimes people just need time to mend.

It all depends if this is someone I care about. I'm not going to waste my energy consoling someone who is an idiot, or deserves the situation that made them upset in the first place. I choose wisely when getting emotionally involved with anyone.

I care deeply for others feelings. I really wish that I could take away all of the pain from them.

I try to help me friends, and especially my daughter.
If you ever feel that you are alone, and believe me, I know the feeling, you can always e-mail me. i believe that i am acontact of yours.
Also, the world is cruel to everybody, so don't think anyone is picking on you, OK?
