1) Can you generally identify and understand what emotions you are feelings and why? In general I am very good at identify my emotions. I am in a more advance stage of my life now. I am 37 years old and I learned with my errors how to identify my emotions and how to cope with them so I can have a healthier life. When I was a teenager for sure I did not know how to manager my emotions in a healthy way. An example of this was that I started to suffer from Anorexia nervosa when I was eighteen. Today I try to cope with my emotions by first identifying them. Second I always ask myself some simple questions; can I control these situations? Can I do anything to solve this problem or I have to wait?
2) Do you usually internalized or externalized? Is it healthy? …show more content…

I am a person that takes time to think about things before take any actions. However, there is one time in which I externalized my emotions, is that is when I am PMS’. I have very severe symptoms of PMS and when I am in those days I am very emotional, sensitive and I have no patient at all. But to help control the situation a little I always warned my husband and kids that I am feeling that way so they can also help me and understand.
3) Can you easily empathize with others? Yes, definitely. I would say that I develop more of this skill with my psychology courses. I used to feel sympathy for people more often than empathy. But with the insight that I acquired throughout my psychology courses I learned how to instead of just feeling sorry for the person, try put myself in their shoes. Which is a totally different

  • How Does Pryal Show Empathy In To Kill A Mockingbird

    524 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Oxford English Dictionary defines empathy as “the power of projecting one’s personality into the object of contemplation.” Furthermore, Katie Rose Guest Pryal proposes that empathy takes action, not just a feeling and emotion. Often confused with sympathy, empathy requires the ability to understand a predicament from another person’s perspective, while sympathy only entails the feeling of pity for another ’s difficulty. Although, in To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus advocates to empathize with others, Pryal rather implies that Atticus exhibits sympathy.

    3) I have read the book Tuesdays with Morrie before and I have thought about this question before as well, I always understood that what Morrie meant by experiencing emotions and then detaching from them meant that you should feel emotions and that they are an inevitable part of life, but you need to feel them and then get over them. I think that it is possible and a healthy way of looking at emotions because you are still validating your own emotions and reactions to certain situations but you aren’t letting your emotions overwhelm you. I think detaching yourself from a situation can be helpful if you need to be in complete control of yourself or if you are in danger of any kind. If you are in danger it is better to be somewhat detached from

  • Maya Angelou: The Role Of Empathy In Literature

    101 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my opinion, empathy takes some understanding of the situation that someone is going through. If we cannot understand the tragedies people face then we won't be able to empathize with them. Instead, we pity them for having to experience such a horrible life. Now days we say we understand people and their feeling, but we can never fully understand unless we go through the exact same situation. Authors like Maya Angelou can help shed some light on a terrible situation, but in the long run unless we face the same situation we will never be able to understand their pain.

    Emotions are what propel you forward to reach your goal, but what also stop you from breaking your limits. They are what weigh into our decisions and help lead us to the choices we forever live with. Not only can they determine what we do, but also when and how we do it. At times they are stronger than others, pulling us forward or throwing us back as if we have absolutely no control. Just like in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the entire lives of two teenagers led by the emotions that they couldn’t ignore.

    No one is capable of choosing their emotions; they come as a result of human nature. This can be seen in our behavior throughout life, from the way babies cry when they miss their parents to the reckless actions of teenagers when they feel the urge to rebel. People begin expressing their feelings before they even start crawling. It is an involuntary reflex that comes naturally and continues to our dying breath. The ability to feel emotion is an aspect of humanity that transcends generations.

    In my fifteen years I don’t really have a specific example of empathy, but my parents always have reinforced the idea. My parents say that no matter what you shouldn’t judge someone or act differently if they are rude or look different because you never know what they are going through. Its that same idea of don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. It’s always played a very big part in my first impressions of people or how I react when I’m mistreated. You don’t know what the person is going through.

    Empathy, in my eyes, is a very important part of someone's character and I look for it in other people just because you don't come by it very often. My ability to empathize with other people is one of my best traits in my opinion, although it does get me in trouble every now and again. My friends normally come to me when they need advice just because I am able to place myself in the shoes of everyone and look at things from everyone's perspective which gives me insights on why people did what they did and how they feel. I find that i don't easily get angry with people because I know why they do what they do, or I try to understand it anyway. It can get me into pickles sometimes though.
