Probably one of the odder notions that get posted here but: I normally think I have a hard time empathizing with others. My self image is pretty negative in that I always think I am way too self centered and unable to understand how other people around me feel.
One incident on the public transport today made me realize that at least that it's not completely missing alas. Due to some incident today involving someone drunk that had a critical encounter with the gap between train and station I realize how much I could empathize with his unwillingness and confusion to let go of his glasses that also fell into that gap and why he almost fought against the people trying to stop him from coming to harm.
It was odd to realize how much I wanted to help and to help explain his behaviour to others because I could feel along. Odd to feel not like a total pos.
