Why Is Empathy Important?

What's Good Dimah Fam!

In this episode the TDP crew talk about empathy. Empathy is "the ability to understand another person's thoughts and feelings in a situation from their point of view, rather than your own. It differs from sympathy, where one is moved by the thoughts and feelings of another but maintains an emotional distance. Empathy is important because it helps us understand how others are feeling so we can respond appropriately to the situation. It is typically associated with social behavior and there is lots of research showing that greater empathy leads to more helping behavior." Remember to always put yourself in others shoes before casting judgement TDP Family. It's so important, you never know what's going on behind the scenes.
