Document Summary
Most likely, you would go to a relative or close friend for help or advice regarding your issue. Sometimes, another person"s insight or understanding on your feelings can be helpful in feeling better about your problem, or even solving the problem. Being able to understand other people"s thoughts and feelings, or putting yourself in his or her shoes , is called empathy, and it plays a key role in maintaining good communication in many situations. Chances are, you would not look for empathy from someone who has never suffered from a loss of a close relative, because they would be unable to be empathetic to your problem and your emotions regarding that problem. Being able to empathize with someone"s thoughts and feelings can be very important to being a successful communicator. To become a more successful communicator, i would like to be able to empathize with other people regarding their problems, and the thoughts and feelings that follow those problems.
