Thought Tweet #822

by Rick Baker
On Sep 10, 2013

Thought Tweet #822 Empathy - isn't that a genuine interest in and ability to understand another person's feelings?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people who teach social psychology and communication define empathy as the ability to share other people's feelings; others define empathy as the ability to understand other people's feelings.

I think it is important to ask how a person defines a word rather than assume they use the same definition I use.
