Question

During a difficult conversation about something personal with a friend, someone who is exhibiting ______ would try to make the situation better rather than saying, "I'm glad you told me about that. Thank you".

Answer 1

Answer: someone who is exhibiting EMPATHY would try to make the situation better

Explanation:

Empathy can be described as being able to feel what another person is going through by placing one's self in that person's shoes.

In this scenario, being empathetic by saying something along the lines of "I understand how you feel" would show the friend that you understand where they are coming from and that would make them feel better.

This would be better than a "I'm glad you told me about that. Thank you".
