Would you say you are an empathetic person, and if so, what makes you such a person, in your opinion?

How important in your life is to feel the feelings and emotions of other people?

Do you prefer 'feely' people rather than or as opposed to the ones who are more or less in their brain, for the most part of a day? For the most part of time?

Can you help other people with their problems? Can you imagine their pain, anything they have been going through right now?

Perhaps as we get older, we are becoming even more emphatetic towards the people around us, we can sort of translate their pain into ours as to help them as much as we can! And then, again, for some people this may not be the case!

Do you think being and feeling empathy towards other person may be of any use to you? Maybe helpful in your life, in your relationships, in your work, in sports, etc.?

Some professions require this more than others. To be able to really understand what the other person is trying to say to us. To read 'between the lines'!. To get all that what has not been said yet!

Would you come up with more reasons?

What has been working for you?
