Empathy And How To Share It With Others

Empathy comes with understanding and respecting each other's thoughts and feelings. ' You will never understand another person point of view unless you see a situation from their perspective''. As this is the way, human beings can behave like human beings otherwise there is no difference between an animal and humans.

Empathy is the essential human quality which is to be mastered even in our modern world, and it is easy to lose sight of other person feelings. However, is it easy to learn how to master this skill? Yes. Almost every human being can learn to develop this crucial human characteristic within themselves and encourage others to be more empathetic too.
Offcourse, practice makes man perfect, and the more you practise, the better your emotional wellness will become leading to happiness.


Changes which you will find within yourself if you master this skill is:-
  • You will treat others with the same respect as yourself
  • You will understand people's needs almost everytime you speak to someone.
  • You will understand your positive impact on everyone you interact.
  • Everyday interpersonal conflicts will be dealt with in a better way by you.
  • You will be able to understand the actions and reactions of others accurately.
  • You will know how to deal with the negative impact of others on you and understand their fears and motivations.
  • You will know how to motivate others and how to turn their negative thoughts into positive.Improve yourself in empathizing
Every human being is connected to empathize just the awareness is needed. Our busy lives make us forget it not allowing us to use it to its full potential. A few examples to understand it better :
  1. Your old man is suffering from back pain and need you to go with him shopping but you refuse to help.
  2. There would be a big tragedy in your county, and several people died, but rather than feeling for the dead and their families, you would rather watch your favorite series of soaps. Its called ''Empathy gap''.
  3. Empathy Gap can be felt in personal relationships too, like your partner must be doing more work in the house and rather than helping him/her you would complain about some things not getting done, rather than putting your fair share.
  4. You children frustrate you.
Good news is all these negative attributes are easily replaceable by being empathic. Below are three straightforward but robust ways with the help of which you can not only bring awareness but also divert your mind towards empathic potential already embedded in your psyche naturally:-

Give others thoughts priority

Even if you are busy at work or any other activity, always take out time to ask for others well being around you. Let them know that you do feel them and care for them by listening to them without interrupting. By doing this, you will understand and solve any problem of this world. E.g.:- employer and employee disputes. If both the parties repeat what other side has said before speaking themselves, an argument can be solved twice faster than usual.

See a human being in everyone

See that human being hidden within you and everyone else, on whom you depend on, in your everyday life. Bare in mind of every single individual connected to you in your daily life. For example:- if you stop in a burger shop at 7 am, think about the people who leave their houses at 5 am two hours earlier than you, just so that they can serve you at 7 am with that delicious burger you like to eat as your breakfast every morning. Think about all the people who make sure they are present to make sure your work gets done with their sacrifices you can,t see, as it does exist even though you don't see it.

Talk to everyone

No one is a stranger, at least not those whom you see or meet every day while commuting to work. Interact with them, as that will change them from strangers to friends for life.
Interactions open your empathic mind and allow you to see that real human being not just hidden inside you but in everyone you see. When this happens, it not only opens your mind but also challenges society's assumption and prejudices.just by listening to others you can do wonders, as they say '' BE AN INQUIRER NOT AN EXAMINER''.
Empathy is the cornerstone of a healthy human relationship with each other. As some of the scientists have revealed form tests that '' without empathy, a person is emotionally tone deaf''.
With a little effort, everyone can use his or her empathic potential at use, which would not just bring a positive change in your life but also lets you see the world around you with the eyes of others. Empathy as a valuable human attribute can show how your positive perception towards the people around you can change the face of our today's world.
