Strangely enough, I used to find receiving empathy to be awkward. I don't anymore, but I can tell you that I still am getting used to people giving hugs. I've never been a big hugger unless it's family. Of course, who tends to want to gravitate to me? Huggers. Go figure..
I think giving Empathy to yourself is the hardest and yet the bravest act.
Jesse, I understand what you mean. Receiving empathy can feel awkward at first, especially if you're more used to offering it than receiving it. And yes, I'm not particularly a hugger except with close family and friends. With grief and age, huggers have a way of finding me, as do people who call me Honey. Yuck. I love what you said about giving empathy to yourself. It is a brave act and often the hardest to learn. Thank you for sharing this.
