"To me, empathy means that you understand what a person is going through to another level, and maybe tying in your own experiences to understand that person better. Empathy has value because not everyone can feel empathetic. It is so important in this world today because mentally, emotionally, and spiritually feels better when you go through something rough and there is someone beside you who understands" (Stephanie Gherau).

"Empathy to me is trying to feel and understand others feelings" (Taylor Smith).
"The world empathy from a personal perspective does not deviate much from it's Webster dictionary definition. Empathy is showing compassion through means of understanding.

I think the ability to empathize with other people (especially in the world today) is what makes us human. Having the ability and means to understand is what keeps the world together" (Trenton Kenney).
"Empathy is the ability to put ourselves in someone else's situation or culture or believing " (Fosiya Abdulahi).

"My personal definition of empathy is the feeling of compassion and being being able to listen to someone and or a situation without necessarily having gone through it yourself- the fact that you are able to take a step in their shoes and empathize with what they are going through is critical to the world we live in today" (Taylor Beery).
"Empathy is the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation" (Faisal Gelle).
"Empathy means understanding what one is is going through. I think empathy is a very important value. If you are upset about something and everyone just doesn't get it you will feel lost and broken. But when someone who can empathizes with you and understand what you're going through, it helps you recover from the situation better than one where people don't get it or don't care" (Joseph Zona).
