It may be most difficult to empathize with those we are closest to.

Keep in mind that other people's actions can never 'make' you feel any certain way. Feelings are your warning indicators.

Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.

Empathy gives you the ability to enjoy another person's pain.

However impressed we may be with NVC concepts, it is only through practice and application that our lives are transformed.

People do not hear our pain when they believe they are at fault.

The only time a message (label) can scare us is if we think there is such a thing, and that such a thing is a disgrace.
