A kid’s emotional reaction to being reunited with his cat after it had been missing for 7 months
HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GUY KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE…
you know, just your regular work week.
i want this to be the only news clip in existence for this time period a thousand years in the future.
I want to emphasize: I trust this newsman with my life, and yours
this meme made me realise that other people apparently know how to show empathy without personal anecdotes
… how…. please teach me
I’m pretty sure none of us will get answers but please…if someone knows the secrets to showing empathy without personal anecdotes please speak up. We need answers
(Me (adhd + autism) can show empathy, but not sympathy. For me, it’s like I do the exact same thing, but as well as showing empathy through anecdotes I show sympathy through empathy).
I have somethin I guess? I’ve been the Support Friend for most of my life so I managed to get it down to a formula. TW: dog death
1. Ask Questions
This is mainly to keep them talking, that way a) they feel like they have a confidante in you, and b) the pressure is less on you to Say Things. In fact it shouldn’t be about you Saying Things at all, it should be you figuring out where they’re at and trying to understand. E.g. “My dog died, I miss him.” Ask questions, and when they start talking, let them talk. “What was his name?” “How and when did he die?” “Tell me about him.” “What was he like?” “What’s your favourite memory of him?” “When did you first meet him?” “Did you teach him any tricks?” Again the point is to keep them talking, the questions are just to get them on a roll. If you’re worrying about what to say next, listen to what they’re saying and ask details of what they’re currently talking about, or mentally prepare your next question.
2. Listen
Let them talk. The more you listen to them talk, the more they feel like it’s okay to talk to you. If they dwindle off, ask them something else to get them talking again. Upset people usually have a lot to say.
Every now and again you can throw in little sentences like “Wow, what a bitch!” “Aw, so sad.” “What the fuck? Why?” just to prove you’re still listening and following, and haven’t wandered off into space.
3. When they’re done, give it back to them
It’s a technique called mirroring. Sum up whatever you heard in short form - if they’ve talked for half an hour about the little details of their deceased pet, say something like “It sounds like he was a very good boy/sounds like he meant a lot to you/sounds like you will miss him.” It’s been known to make people dissolve into a sobbing mess, because this is the part where you prove you’ve done your homework, you listened, you care, you get it.
4. If you really want to offer a solution, ask first. You can just skip this step altogether tbh.
Only when someone has finished talking about whatever is upsetting them, ask if you can help. “Can I offer some advice?” Now is the time for SHORT anecdotes. Short. It’s not about you sharing your story, it’s about them getting advice. Remember they don’t have to take your advice, again it’s about them and their emotions, and they know themselves best. “When my dog died, I did this. Would that help?” “I read somewhere about doing this. Maybe try that and see how it goes?”
Hope this helps y’all. The TL;DR of all this is basically listen, and prove you’re listening.
Thank you!!!
That explanation really is so good!

Oh
inazuma eleven
Yea coz this is soccer, and they wonder why GO wasn’t that much of a success as the first series
GO’s stories were wild and all over the place, but that was the best part about it. Too bad the fandom wasn’t ready.
endou mamoru
Whole mood when going through life
someone who hasn’t watched ina11 explain this screenshot
the old man in the very back looks kinda like god watching over the children except he is actually evil and he is playing with their minds and bodies to do his whim. that white haired boy is kicking some dope ass fireball and there are birds to add to the aesthetic. Fire birds motherfucker
the others are watching in horror. They’re about to get ROASTED by some motherfuckin fire birds. they’re yelling “stop” but it’s no use. theyu are going to get Flamed
also that boy is wearing goggles to shield his eyes from the holy light. But he shall fail, for the entire world shall burn in this forsaken game of life
Poster Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy
After Seeing Inadan, by のの-san
Warning: This post contains some spoiler of Movie: Inazuma Eleven Go VS DanBall Senki W
Artist note:
My impression about Movie InaDan and chara song, Maji de Kansha (the last page). Everything is about HakuKyou (lol).
イナダン見てきたよヽ(・▽・)ノ | のの [pixiv]
did that raven just get kissed and then fall over blushing.
I AM THIS RAVEN
“I AM TOO GAY TO FUNCTION”
“SEND HELP”
Gotta add something: holding beaks for them is showing trust/love. I don’t know if that was a kiss, but it was certainly the crow equivalent of “I love you.”
We don’t deserve corvids but i am so so grateful

Note: I know I’m probably the only person still obsessed with DanSen Wars at this point (IT’S BEEN FOUR YEARS!) but DanSen stuff deserves to be translated too! Btw, if you like Muraku I love you.
