Do you think of yourself as empathetic?

I think I'm empathetic because from a little kid to an adult i can tell peoples mood with out them telling me how they feel but another weird thing about me is I can talk to some one for a few hours or even days and already figure out what type of person they are and what makes them tick and how they think . It actually help me beat and out smart people in a card game I played online because base on the person's personality I always figured how they would play their cards and they would ask me how did I know what they were gonna do . I can even do that in real life . Maybe I should have played professional cards

 

I consider myself very empathetic, I can always tell what the people I'm around are feeling, it's sort of a curse and a blessing. Where it makes you wanna cry along with them at times it also makes you angry enough to fight at others.

 

I'm an actor, so I kind of have to be, but I am naturally empathetic.

 

I'm fairly indifferent and have a very hard time telling people's emotions unless they're pretty obvious.

 

I always try to put myself into other people's shoes first. I've been told I'm pretty empathetic.

 

Depends on the situation. Most of the time I think I have a rough idea of their feelings, but then I find out that I don't know what they're really thinking...

 

I'm not sure if it's one of those things you can really judge about yourself. I like to think so and other people have told me so.

 

Its funny because during life I thought about it a lot and I think I am, even in Player-vs-Player video games I tend to see how people feel and use it to my advantage, especially in guild wars when I used to play it ^^
Maybe we have more empathy for others because we are gay dunno

 

Absolutely. I can read people pretty quick...good thing since I am a therapist right? lol

 

I dont know about empathetic, but I think im good at observing.

 

Extremely so. To the point of almost feeling as if I am living the other person's life for them. Since the typical reaction to this is suspicion and resentment, I'd say it's definitely possible to have too much empathy. (Fortunately, I think I'm getting better at this.)

 

I am extremely empathetic. It's almost as if I feel the emotions of others rather than my own. It's even more so with people I am close to

 

I can analyze people and see what they are really thinking even though they don't want to admit it. When I surprise them with my insight they usually say "wow, you're right".

Also I have a lot of life experience, including school, relationships, gender issues, depression and anxiety and more.

So while sympathy anyone can have, I do believe I can empathize with a lot of people.

 

I like to think I am but I do get it wrong sometimes. I am very sympathetic and this tends to get mixed up with empathy, but I am learning.

 

extremely empathetic

 

I'd say I'm pretty good at observing. Like, no one really talks to me and such so I just kind a observe stuff and in turn that helps picking up in things.

 

Observant? Yes.
However, I can't really sympathize with people. I'm pretty indifferent to people's emotions. Furthermore, I have difficulties reading emotions unless it's obvious.

If you ask me to cheer you up, chances are I will fail and/or make things worse.

 

Empathetic? More like apathetic!



But in all seriousness, I'm terrible at reading emotions. Like... The worst.

 

I am very empathetic. Maybe a little to much, as I don't tend to just sense others people feelings, but actually feel them myself. Empathy leaves really little room for sympathy though, at least for me.
