@Jynx so do I. I get enjoyment out of other people's enjoyment, when I am not in my depressed state, that is.

@Mustang67 the feeling is called 'compersion' and it's considered the opposite of jealousy!

I think I just learnt a new word @Jynx @Mustang67 @GezzaP @Shaz51 @creative_writer
Compersion is so cool! AI tells me that the word was coined in the 1980's by members of the Kerista Commune, a polyamorous community based in San Francisco. Little facts help me remember the word. 💛

@heartathome funnily enough, I learned the word from the poly community! Which I am always happy to talk more about, if anyone is interested 😉

I went along to see what happens at some motorcycle training at a racetrack today. It was interesting but I can’t see myself doing it. It was just women in group 1. I tried taking photos for them but I am not good at photography because I shake. I wonder if I took any usable pictures

@heartathome I have too. I never knew there was a word feeling joy and happiness for another person's happiness. Thank you @Jynx for teaching us something new. I like learning new things.

@Jynx I would love to hear more about the poly community. Please do share 😉 It sounds very interesting. You never know, you might teach me some more things.
