Are you someone who, when you see your loved one crying, doesn’t know how to comfort them?
Do you get a migraine every time you have to comment on your subordinate’s work?
Are you tight-lipped and too shy to ask for advice from anyone?

All of this is related to “Empathy,” a word that has been widely discussed in recent years but whose meaning few truly understand.
Dujdao Vadhanapakorn, a psychotherapist specializing in empathy, affirms that empathy is not just a “nice-to-have” skill, but a “must-have” one.

So, what exactly is empathy?
❌ “Caring”
❌ “Sympathizing”
❌ “Pitying”
✅ It’s “putting yourself in others’ shoes” without judgment.

Why does everyone need it?
The answer is simple: because you’re not alone in this world.
Each of us has our own unique world, and empathy is the tool that helps you put your own world aside, allowing you to step into someone else’s world with an open heart, to see, accept, and understand.

Whether it’s through compassion, reason, or even necessity, understanding is ultimately the only gift in the world that can warm the heart of the receiver and bring peace to the giver.
