Test your self-compassion level

[tama]

2. Others

Your score high on isolation and over-identification. What do others really wish for you, in their heart? Well being. Others have their common human problems too, which you understand quite well, according to your Common Humanity score, so they don't always show that in thought and action. But empathy is our most natural state, and deep down we wish well-being for all others, so that we don't have to feel their pain but can feel their well-being. Also many animals tend to seek isolation when they are in pain or know they are dying, for the same reason we do, out of empathy and compassion, so that others don't have to feel their pain. So as you say and your score shows, being more compassionate of others than towards self can lead to isolation, and that imbalance can become self-feeding vicious cycle.

What our current scientific etc. knowledge of neuroplasticity - constantly changing brain - tells us is that those are not constants of our character, but just snapshots of the current of change. And neurological studies show also that various meditation practices can and do produce visible neuroplastic changes very quickly. It could be fun and beneficial exercise to try and do some meditations for some period, and then retake the test in that new state of mind and brain.

Thanks for caring, feel well, take your time. <3
