Empathy

No. No. That’s not what it was.

Hym “No. It was self pity. Not because of the insult but because I am right. And he knows it. It was not empathy. And no. I don’t lose if I shoot your kids in the face. That’s how I can win. Damn... I was right about EVERYTHING. Every single utterance. That is wild. I’m the rightest man who has ever lived.”

Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED)

Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED) is an armchair-psychological designation for people who experience extreme amounts of empathy for inanimate objects -- specifically objects that depict living things that appear damaged or distressed. IOED describes someone who experiences legitimate feelings towards objects that appear as if they deserve sympathy, support, and even help as if they were animate beings. However, because these objects are not actually living beings, these impulses to care for, help, and support are misplaced. Hence the disorder designation. If someone if your life continually says things like "awwwww.... that poor x" where x is more often than not a stuffed animal with a missing ear or a tear in its fabric, then that person in your life suffers from IOED.

Using the term Inanimate Object Empathy Disorder (IOED) in context: Because my wife has IOED, when she found 2 stuffed animals on the road, disheveled, she felt a burning desire to "save" them and "nurse them back to health" in our home. Now, thanks to her IOED, we have a new shelf in our family room with "recovering" stuffed animals on it that fill her heart with joy every day.

Transfinite-Empathy

A condition of empathy that is above hyper-empathy in some regards but not in others. A person with transfinite-empathy is able to feel any emotion, even if there is seemingly no connection between them and someone feeling that emotion. In this regard, it is above hyper-empathy. However, due to it not necessarily implying the ability to be high alert for negative emotions, it is not above it in all aspects. Depending on the cause, it may or may not still imply the ability to be fully connected and in tune with a person's emotions. A transfinite-empathic person does not need external stimuli to feel emotions and can feel emotions that the situation would not usually be able to evoke. Origin: "Transfinite" (chosen due to it not being above "Hyper" in all regards but still above it in some) + Empathy.

As someone with transfinite-empathy, I can feel whatever emotion my character would and be the best actor possible.

Botanic Empathy

To share and understand feelings with botanical life, it is especially strong during time of extreme circumstances in which a plant may go through, such as withering away or being stressed out.

My aloe plant started to wither away due to stress, and my botanic empathy made me start to wither away as well, on the inside.
