What is ampathy

Empathy is when someone can understand and relate to the feelings of another person. It’s the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, to understand their experiences and emotions. An example of empathy would be if your best friend was feeling sad because they had a fight with their parents. You may not have gone through the exact same situation, but you can understand how they must be feeling and provide support. Another example of empathy would be if you see a homeless person on the street, you might not know their full story, but you can still feel compassion and understanding for their situation. A fun fact about empathy is that studies have shown that people who are more empathetic tend to be happier and have stronger relationships with others.
