Talk:Frubbly

Frubbly or Fribbly doesn't mean "compersion"! Frubbly or Fribbly is the antonym of "Schadenfreude" Compersion is the antonym of Jealousy or Envy

Presumably there was a post here and a bunch of editors would don't understand the nuanced difference between "Envy", "Jealousy" & "Shadenfreude" all of whom have separate entries in wikipedia, decided that Envy=Jelousy=Schadenfreude thus the antonyms of Schadenfreude i.e. Frubbly/Fribbly=Compersion and then redirected the article - destroying all the data and nuanced understanding along the way.

Envy = "Envy (from Latin invidia) is an emotion which "occurs when a person lacks another's superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it"."

Jealousy = "Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust. In its original meaning, jealousy is distinct from envy, though the two terms have popularly become synonymous in the English language, with jealousy now also taking on the definition originally used for envy alone. Jealousy is a typical experience in human relationships. It has been observed in infants five months and older.[1][2][3][4] Some claim that jealousy is seen in every culture;[5][6][7] however, others claim jealousy is a culture-specific phenomenon.[8]

Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʀɔɪ̯də] ( listen)) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages. An English term of similar meaning (but with no noun equivalent) is "to gloat"; which means to feel, or express, great, often malicious, pleasure, or self-satisfaction, at one's own success, or at another's failure.[2]

Compersion is an empathetic state of happiness and joy experienced when another individual experiences happiness and joy, and the term is regularly used by members of the polyamory community in the context of polyamorous relationships. It is used to describe when a person experiences positive feelings when a lover is enjoying another relationship.[61]

If I had the power to make an entry here that wouldn't immediately be deleted again by people who can't tell the difference between Schadenfreude=Envy=Jealousy etc I would. Perhaps someday someone who has the power - shall!X-mass (talk) 09:46, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
