Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough by Dina Nayeri

Additionally, Nayeri's sweeping assumptions of other people's empathy seemed stupid. Nayeri claims that no one's "empathy" means that they are able to feel another person's pain, but instead they are relieved that they were spared from the other's pain. What the fuck? What Nayeri is describing is literally NOT empathy. Not how empathy is defined, nor how empathy is practiced. Maybe it is "sympathy," but even then, that is a very cruel definition of sympathy. It was apparent to me by the time I finished this text that Nayeri is of low emotional intelligence and low empathy, and she just assumes everyone is the same because she is. What a shallow reflection of human nature for an author!
