Do You Have Selective Empathy? 9 Ways To Be More Universally Empathetic

You’ve been talking to that relative again — the one who shrugs off the reports of death and suffering in places like Africa or Mexico but who was grief-stricken to hear about the fire in the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

Part of you thinks, “Why do some people lack compassion?”

But it’s not a total lack of empathy that’s the problem. It’s selective empathy — or selective compassion.

And it’s far more dangerous.

It’s also sneaky.

And we’re all guilty of it to some degree.

So, what can you do about it?

Think of the last time you had to politely describe a person you didn’t quite get along with.

None of the traits you named were 100% positive, but none were negative, either.

The best word to describe them would be “neutral.”

You like to think your delivery was neutral, too, but it probably wasn’t. (It’s hard to hide those feelings.)

Neutral personality traits can make others think you have an enigmatic personality.

Maybe you’re trying to hide something, or you like appearing mysterious.

But that’s not always the case. Sometimes neutral just fits the moment.

So what exactly are these traits? And how can you use them to your advantage?

How much do you know about the ENTJ personality type?

If you know what each letter stands for in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) lexicon, you can at least identify the four key ENTJ characteristics:

Extraverted
Intuitive
Thinking
Judging

But there’s much more to each type than those four letters can say.

And if you’re an ENTJ, or you know someone who is, the more you know, the better you can understand everything that goes with it.

Let’s start with a bit of background on those four letters.

Ambivert vs. Omnivert: 7 Key Differences In These Personalities

by Barrie Davenport

What do you make of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) when you don’t identify as either an introvert or an extrovert — at least not all the time?

Maybe you’ve taken the test at different times and have gotten different results.

Or perhaps you can relate to the descriptions of both the I-leading and E-leading neighbor types (e.g., INFJ and ENFJ).

And you wonder, “Am I both? Or am I something in between?”

That depends on whether you see yourself as a hybrid or as someone who’s the introvert version one day and the extrovert version the next.
