Toxic Empathy

“Most of us, especially those of us who are Christians, we have not only a natural but spiritual inclination towards helping those who need help and lifting others up. And we’re naturally compassionate, especially women. We’re natural nurturers. That empathy muscle is really strong, and that can be used in a really good way. The problem is when it’s exploited for toxic or harmful means and how toxic empathy is employed” — Allie Beth Stuckey
