ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Empathy

Empathy is when you try to understand how someone else is feeling. It means putting yourself in someone else's shoes and understanding what they are feeling and why. Empathy helps you connect with someone else and be more understanding of their feelings. For example, if your friend was feeling sad, you could try to understand why they are feeling that way by putting yourself in their position and imagining how you would feel if you were in the same situation.
