This was two days ago, when I chose (?) to respond to a detailed and lengthy email that had been in my inbox for days from a friend undergoing challenges (so much better than problems) in her relationship.
My relationship history barring me from ever giving advice on the topic, there was not much to do other than acknowledge what a rough time she was having and tell her I hoped she and her partner would be able to work things out, if that was what she wanted.
And this morning - a message from her thanking me for my empathic response. So, according to astrodienst, I guess I got this one right.
"The danger of this influence lies in the intellectualization and "flogging to death" of experiences and situations which actually call for feeling or sympathy."
