It usually shows up in small ways. You notice when a friend&rsquo;s voice sounds different. You can picture what a hard week is like for someone, even if you&rsquo;ve never had that exact week yourself. You think about how your words will land before you say them. Empathy is not the same as being nice, agreeing with everyone or being emotional. A person can be warm without being especially empathetic, and a quiet, reserved person can be very empathetic. It also isn&rsquo;t all-or-nothing. Researchers treat empathy as a trait that runs along a scale, and most people fall somewhere in the middle. Where you land depends on your temperament, how you were raised and how much practice you&rsquo;ve had at paying attention to other people. It can also change with your state. Almost everyone has less empathy when they are tired, stressed or in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the difference between empathy and sympathy?<\/strong><br>Sympathy is feeling for someone. Empathy is feeling with them. When you sympathize, you recognize that a person is having a hard time and you feel sorry about it, but you stay on the outside of the experience. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m so sorry that happened&rdquo; is a sympathetic response. When you empathize, you try to step into the other person&rsquo;s position and imagine what the situation is like from where they stand. &ldquo;That sounds exhausting, and I can see why you&rsquo;re worn out&rdquo; is closer to empathy. Neither one is wrong. Sympathy is often the right response with people you don&rsquo;t know well, such as in a condolence card. But in close relationships people usually want empathy, because it tells them they have been understood and not only pitied. One simple way to move from sympathy toward empathy is to hold back advice and silver linings for a moment and say back what you heard the person say. Being understood tends to help more than being cheered up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the three types of empathy?<\/strong><br>Psychologists Paul Ekman and Daniel Goleman describe three kinds. Cognitive empathy is understanding what another person is thinking and feeling. It is sometimes called perspective-taking, and it&rsquo;s the kind a good negotiator or teacher uses. Emotional empathy, also called affective empathy, is feeling what the other person feels. If a friend cries and your own eyes fill, that&rsquo;s emotional empathy at work. Compassionate empathy, sometimes called empathic concern, is being moved to help. It takes the first two and turns them into action. The three don&rsquo;t always travel together. Someone can be excellent at reading people and feel very little, and someone else can feel everything and freeze up without doing anything useful. Many people are stronger in one kind than the others. That&rsquo;s why a single empathy score only tells part of the story. It is often more useful to ask which kind comes easily to you, which kind takes effort, and whether what you feel for people tends to turn into something they can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you have too much empathy?<\/strong><br>You can have more than you know how to carry. People with very high emotional empathy often absorb the moods around them, feel drained after time with someone who is upset, and find the news hard to watch. Researchers call this empathic distress. It happens when another person&rsquo;s pain becomes so strongly felt that it overwhelms the one feeling it. Over time it can lead to exhaustion, avoiding people who are struggling, or saying yes to everything out of guilt. Nurses, counselors and caregivers know a version of it as compassion fatigue. The answer usually isn&rsquo;t to care less. Studies of caregivers suggest that shifting from sharing someone&rsquo;s pain to caring warmly about the person in pain is much less draining. Practical habits help as well: noticing which feelings are yours and which you picked up, taking real rest, and setting limits on how much you take on. If feeling overwhelmed is getting in the way of daily life, it&rsquo;s worth talking with a doctor or a counselor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can I test how empathetic I am?<\/strong><br>Researchers use questionnaires such as the Empathy Quotient, developed by Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, which measures several sides of empathy separately. Those are built for studies and clinics. For everyday self-understanding, a shorter test built around real situations can tell you a lot, because empathy shows up in what you actually do, not in how you describe yourself. Useful questions look at whether you notice when someone is off, what happens inside you when a friend cries, how you feel after a day around a stressed person, and how easily you can see a view you disagree with. The free empathy test at the top of this page asks twelve questions like these and takes about two minutes. It places you on a five-level scale, from logic-first to feels-everything, with an honest look at the strengths and the costs of where you land. It is not a diagnosis, just a clearer mirror. If you&rsquo;ve wondered how empathetic you really are, take the test above.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empathy Test How Empathetic Am I?
