Empathic concern

Empathic concern is when you care about someone else's feelings and try to help them feel better. It's kind of like being a good friend.

Imagine that your friend is sad because they didn't do well on a test. You might ask them how they're feeling and listen to what they have to say. You might tell them that you're sorry they're feeling that way and that you believe in them. You might even offer to help them study for the next test.

That's what empathic concern is all about. It's about being a good listener, being kind and caring, and helping when we can. It's important to remember that everyone needs help sometimes, and being a good friend means being there for each other.
