Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

How do you know if your empathy is being taken advantage of?

Dave Roberts started this conversation off by talking about feeling drained, having someone come to you for everything all of the time and needing boundaries.
Fallon Siniscarco acknowledged that it’s normal to go to your friends for advice (never mind that they likely don’t have much more life experience than you do). But if there isn’t balance over time in the friendship, you get to talk about your stuff too, that might be time to start to wonder if you are being taken advantage of.
I then shared a story from when I was in high school and a girl who was always mean to me asked for a quarter. I gave her one thinking maybe if I was nice to her, she would be nicer to me. Nope. But you can bet the next day she asked me for a quarter again. There is something about being naïve and nice and having your empathy used against you.
I also wanted to know what do you do when you realize you’re being taken advantage of so we talked about that for a bit.
How do you notice if your empathy is being abused and what do you do about it?
