Extremely Positive People Aren't as Good at Empathy

People with extremely sunny attitudes find it difficult to empathize with people who are recounting a negative experience, according to a study recently published at PLOS ONE. Ironically, positive people also reported being better at empathizing than did people who labelled themselves as slightly less than bubbly.  http://bigthink.com/ ideafeed/ extremely-positive-people-o verestimate-their-ability- to-empathize?utm_campaign= Echobox&utm_medium=Social& utm_source=Twitter#link_ti me=1489939738

المعنى الحقيقي للصداقة

تمسكوا بأحبتكم جيداً ، وعبروا لهم عن حبكم ، واغفروا زلاتهم فقد ترحلون أو يرحلون يوماً وفي القلب لهم حديث وشوق ... واحذروا أن تخيطوا جراحكم قبل تنظيفها من الداخل [ناقشوا ، برروا ، اشرحوا ، اعترفوا ، تنازلوا ]. فالحياة قصيرة جداً لا تستحق الحقد ، الحسد ، البغض.. غداً سنكون ذكرى فقط ، والموت لا يستأذن ابتسموا وسامحوا من أساء إليكم
