Being empathetic with ourselves [ESP/ING]

avatar

¡Hola, Comunidad de Hive!

Hello, Hive Commnunity!



Hace unos días comentábamos en la universidad en una clase sobre lo contradictorio a la vez lo cierto que es que a veces las mujeres (y aunque sin ánimos de generalizar), pero a veces no tenemos empatía con las situaciones de otras mujeres. Para mí la empatía es darnos la oportunidad de colocarnos en los zapatos de la otra persona, para entonces prestar nuestro apoyo en diversas situaciones que otras mujeres van a presentar.

Es cierto aquello que dicen que muchos veces somos nosotras mismas como mujeres las que nos despedazamos entre nosotras; yo no creo que esto sea del todo así porque me he topado con mujeres que realmente están ahí siempre para brindar apoyo. Pero es cierto sin duda alguna que a veces en situaciones graves donde mujeres se ven perjudicadas entonces es casi siempre una mujer quien pone en duda la palabra de la otra... Un grave error, nunca sabemos cuando podemos ser esa mujer maltratada, que quizá ha sido sometida a situaciones de violencia y denigración.

A few days ago we commented in a class at the university about how contradictory and at the same time how true it is that sometimes women (although not to generalize), but sometimes we do not have empathy with the situations of other women. For me, empathy is to give us the opportunity to put ourselves in the other person's shoes, and then lend our support in various situations that other women will present.

It is true what they say that many times we ourselves as women are the ones who tear each other apart; I don't think this is entirely true because I have come across women who are always there to give support. But it is undoubtedly true that sometimes in serious situations where women are harmed then it is almost always a woman who doubts the word of the other? A serious mistake, we never know when we can be that abused woman, who perhaps has been subjected to situations of violence and denigration.



En situaciones así es cuando debe haber un sentimiento o esa acción de hacer click con la mujer con la que te has topado, porque muchas veces son miles de realidades que queremos encapsular en una oración... Se olvida el dicho que dice que fuertes somo más unidas, y en ocasiones nos hacemos las ciegas, las mudas ante situaciones donde alzar la voz como colectivo puede funcionar mucho más que ser solo un pequeño grupo buscando justicia.

Creo que lo primero que debemos comenzar a hacer es aprender a juzgar menos, a ver menos despectivamente a otras mujeres porque nosotras hemos luchado desde siglos para disfrutar lo que podemos disfrutar en este momento lo que tenemos, no lo manchemos por los perjuicios que una sociedad machista ha impuesto en nuestra mente... No miremos por encima del hombro porque a veces la vista no nos da la oportunidad de ver realmente las situaciones de cada una.

In situations like this is when there must be a feeling or that action of clicking with the woman you have come across, because many times there are thousands of realities that we want to encapsulate in a sentence.... We forget the saying that the stronger we are, the more united we are, and sometimes we turn a blind eye to situations where raising our voices as a collective can work much better than being just a small group seeking justice.

I think the first thing we must start doing is to learn to judge less, to see other women less contemptuously because we have struggled for centuries to enjoy what we can enjoy at this moment what we have, let's not stain it by the prejudices that a sexist society has imposed in our minds.... Let's not look over our shoulder because sometimes our eyesight does not give us the opportunity to really see each other's situations.



Es curioso que cuando se difunde la información de una desaparición, es seguramente una mujer la que dice: esa seguro esta con el novio, y siempre pienso ojala este con su novio, pero que no este siendo privada de su libertad; mi acción siempre es intentar transmitir el mensaje porque si mañana aparece y resulta que simplemente estaba con sus amigas o con su novio me sentire aliviada de que sea una mujer más que aparece con vida, y no una muerta... Dejemos de creer que lo malo de las situaciones hace que valga más la pena nuestra unión.

La empatía no nos quita nada, es solo un ejercicio que podemos comenzar desde pequeñas acciones, que aunque parezcan insignificantes hacen realmente la diferencia; porque en algún momento espero decir que las mujeres somos unidas, que no nos vemos por encima del hombro; que en un futuro nuestras amigas, hijas o sobrinas no sientan que van a ser juzgadas por las personas que quizá puedan entenderlas, y que en vez de reproches reciban apoyo.

It is curious that when the information of a disappearance is spread, it is surely a woman who says: she is surely with her boyfriend, and I always think that hopefully she is with her boyfriend, but that she is not being deprived of her freedom; my action is always to try to transmit the message because if tomorrow she appears and it turns out that she was simply with her friends or with her boyfriend I will feel relieved that she is one more woman who appears alive, and not a dead woman.... Let's stop believing that how bad situations are makes our togetherness more worthwhile.

Empathy does not take anything away from us, it is just an exercise that we can start from small actions, that although they may seem insignificant, they really make a difference; because at some point I hope to say that women are united, that we do not look down on each other; that in the future our friends, daughters or nieces will not feel that they will be judged by people who may understand them, and that instead of reproaches they will receive support.



La empatía entre mujeres realmente va a cambiar el mundo en el que vivimos hoy, espero que realmente algún día dejemos de lado aquellas etiquetas y que en vez de dejarnos llevar por las apariencias comencemos a hacerlo por lo que tenemos en nuestros corazones y que cuando alguna mujer este en peligro hagamos un círculo protector en vez de un escenario de guerra.

La empatía... Se escucha como una palabra simple pero tiene sus matices; para ser sincera a nuestro empoderamiento femenino le hace falta más empatía, pero vamos por buen camino; por juntas somos más fuertes.

Empathy among women will really change the world we live in today, I hope that someday we will really leave aside those labels and that instead of being driven by appearances we will start to do it by what we have in our hearts and that when a woman is in danger we will make a protective circle instead of a war scenario.

Empathy... It sounds like a simple word but it has its nuances; to be honest our female empowerment needs more empathy, but we are on the right track; together we are stronger.




Espero que se entienda el mensaje y que este post les haya gustado este post. Nos leemos pronto.
I hope the message is understood and that you liked this post. See you soon.

You are correct; we should not judge, lest we are judged when we need support. I think sometimes that 'judging' happens when we see something in someone that is what we don't like about ourselves. Maybe just a little? Anyway, there are tons of things that happen in our lives that affect how we might judge. This 'judging' lessens with age. We need to be there for one another! Thanks for sharing!

we must start doing is to learn to judge less

I couldn't agree more. Judgement is common almost everywhere, whether we admit it or not. When we judge another, we lose the chance of knowing him or her better.

Empathy does not take anything away from us

Very true, it doesn't even cost us a thing. In fact, it gives us more - joy and more.
