[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised at people pointing to lack of empathy because in my experience people don’t seem to care that much about it. Or rather, many people take it for granted in others but don’t seem to require it as necessary. I’ve heard people criticized for caring too much, but rarely for caring too little.[/quote] Empathy is ability to see needs, and act on that. Inherent in that is an ability instinctively put yourself in their shoes and see the need, connect with their emotion, see a reason or two for the need or emotion in the other individual. You see a child crying and you figure out why and comfort the child. You see a danger and prevent it from hurting someone. You have a difficult conversation with someone but say it in a caring manner. That’s empathy. The definition really hits home when you are close to someone with “zero empathy,” and everything they say or do is only about themselves, and they can’t help it. [/quote]
