That’s an interesting question. Can empathy be learnt or practised? If I draw up a mental checklist to feign empathy in social situations, it isn’t genuine. So – can I learn genuine empathy? The more I think about it, the more I believe it’s a natural ability that can certainly be nurtured, but not artificially created...
I think empathy is like a muscle that gets stronger when you try to imagine being in someone else's shoes. I see it as just actually caring how your friends feel. Do some people naturally have more of that than others, obviously yes. But like you said, it can be nurtured but not artificially created
