Empathy
Have you ever experienced emotions that were not your own? Emotions that were essentially thrown upon you? I suppose that’s what being empathetic is like. I feel, if I feel anything at all, that all of these emotions I’ve experienced were not mine. I have not ever felt an emotion that affected me directly… If that makes any sense. I have never felt anger. I have never felt sadness. I have never felt happiness. I have felt someone else’s anger... or their sadness... happiness. Only because they felt it.
