Empathy DECREASES when you've had a similar experience to someone

[drop]

I don't think so. Cause, let's say you are fat. Meeting a fat person, who seems confident would be worse for you, if your goal is to lose weight. You'll be hypnotized into thinking fat is acceptable. If you are fit and meet a fitness freak, you will at first feel like shit in comparison, but you'll ultimately be more motivated to change.

You absorb the energy of people you meet. That's why rich guys wanna hang with rich guys, smart guys with smart guys, athletic winners with athletic winners.

well if i was rich and i met another rich guy, wouldnt i wanna avoid befriending him in case he tries to snake me in a business deal?

i think i could get rich but im undecided on if thats what i want. im worried about someone trying to stop me before i even decide though
