A lot of people are unraveling on Twitter, and it’s very hard to witness. Life is terrible so very often for so many people.

I’ve lashed out against people saying my day will get better or I’ll be fine or whatever because empathy is soo much more useful than sympathy.

I don’t want to hear no shit about how tough I am. I already know that. I already know how to think positively. But I’m telling you my life sucks. Right now in this moment.

Do not tell me things will be fine if you can’t present evidence that it will.

You can just say, “I hope things work out.” or “That sucks. I’m sorry.”

That’s empathy.
