Be more empathetic

Instructions

Practice active listening.
Listening attentively to what someone is saying without interrupting or making assumptions is a fundamental part of empathy. Try to focus on the speaker's words, tone, and body language when listening to them.
Practice cognitive empathy.
Try to see things from the other person's perspective. Consider their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This skill requires you to be present, non-judgmental, and open-minded.
Practice emotional empathy.
Sometimes, it is not enough to understand someone's perspective. You also need to feel what they are feeling. This requires you to put yourself in their shoes and try to experience their emotions.
Practice empathy in all interactions.
Empathy is not just important in the medical field; it is essential in all areas of life. Practice empathy with friends, family, coworkers, and strangers alike.
Continuously improve.
Empathy is a skill that can always be improved. Seek feedback from others, reflect on your interactions, and actively work to develop your empathy skills.
