Most YES: You have a high level of empathy.
You have an excellent ability to empathize, understand the emotions of others, worry about them and offer them your help. Often the desire to help someone else far exceeds one's own needs and desires. You are very careful when you say something, for fear of offending your interlocutor. Although empathy is a necessary quality, you must keep in mind that if you worry about all the problems of humanity so that you empathize excessively, it can make you overly sensitive, which can harm you in the long run, both psychologically and physically .
Most NO: You have low empathy.
Either you do not notice the emotions of others at all, or, if you manage to detect them, you tend not to be influenced by them on yourself. You enjoy working alone and are more productive this way than in a group of many people who are constantly expressing their emotions. The fact that you do not take into account the feelings of others and often perceive them as overreacting in certain situations does not help you create strong social bonds. To develop your empathic skills, you need to work on communicating with others, focusing on listening to the other person and reflecting their emotions.
