All of the above. Empathy shows maturity because you are able to do the first two things. Imagining someone else's situation and being able to sympathize with it even if you haven't been in the same situation is empathy.

Answer: What is true about showing empathy for others?

  • all of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empathy is the intention of understanding feelings and emotions, trying to experience objectively and rationally what another individual feels. The word empathy means "excited." Empathy makes people help each other.

This does not necessarily imply sharing the same opinions and arguments that justify the state or reaction expressed by the other person. It does not even mean agreeing with the way of interpreting the situations with emotional burden of the interlocutor.

Empathy is related among other things to active listening, understanding and emotional support. In addition, empathy implies having the capacity to differentiate between the affective states of others and the ability to take perspective, both cognitive and affective, regarding the person who expresses their emotional state.
