What Is Empathy?
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It’s what helps us connect with others on a human level, even if we haven’t experienced exactly what they’re going through.
Empathy involves both cognitive and emotional components. Cognitive empathy is the ability to recognize what someone else might be feeling or thinking. Emotional empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to feel what another person is feeling. Both play an important role in our social lives and mental health.
Studies show that high empathy is linked to better emotional intelligence, which contributes to personal well-being, leadership success, and even physical health.
Researchers in psychology suggest that empathy isn’t just a personality trait, it’s a skill you can develop over time. And understanding where you currently stand through an empathy assessment can be the first step.
