Why don't we act more compassionate?

2025/9/4 Edited to

... Read moreTEDトークで触れられているように、人間の脳は基本的に他者を助けるように作られていますが、実際の行動にはなかなか移せないことが多いです。これは、私たちの暮らす環境や日常の忙しさ、そして無意識のうちに気付かないことが関係していると感じます。 例えば、街中で誰かが困っていても、周囲の人もいるし他のことに意識が向いているため、助ける手を差し伸べる機会を逃してしまいがちです。私自身も経験がありますが、知らず知らずのうちに「見て見ぬふり」をしてしまうことが多いのです。 しかし、TEDトークが示すように、まず「気がつく」ことが大切です。小さなことでも周囲の状況に注意を向ける練習をすると、徐々に思いやりのある行動が自然にできるようになりました。たとえば、店員さんや同僚に対して感謝の言葉をかける、困っている人に目を向ける習慣が、相手に安心感を与え、自分自身の心も豊かにします。 また、社会全体の環境を見直すことも重要です。助け合いを促進するための地域活動や職場のコミュニケーションの工夫など、小さな変化が集まることで大きな影響が生まれます。 このように、思いやりのある行動は「自分ひとりの問題」ではなく、環境と意識の両面からアプローチすることで高められるものだと実感しています。皆さんも日々の生活で「気づく」ことを意識し、ささやかな思いやりを積み重ねてみてはいかがでしょうか?

Why empaths are drawn to narcissists 👀
Empaths don’t attract narcissistic dynamics because they’re weak. They’re drawn in because they’re deeply attuned, compassionate, and willing to see the good in people. But when empathy meets a lack of boundaries, it can turn into overgiving, overexplaining, and staying longer than feels safe.
