When I am physically hurt, I don't like people being sympathetic to me. (Though I can sympathetic to them, if I don't think they are just making a scene of the pain to get attention) However, I like it when I am emotionally hurt. I am also sympathetic to others' when they are emotionally hurt. I am better with sympathy than empathy.
Anyone else? Thoughts?
Im the same. When Im physically hurt I will get over it, it is just a matter of time, and if people are being sympathetic to me in such a moment, I feel forced to act thankful and that is extra annoying then. Also I think it is childish in a way -> I feel silly if somebody put on a sympathy face and suffer with me when I have pain.
When Im emotionally hurt, sympathy can be helpful.
