When you talk to someone, do you put yourself in their shoes?

How can you truly understand someone if you lack the ability to visualize what they are going through? You have to put yourself in their shoes but make sure that you don't put yourself at risk of being hurt in the process of trying to help another.

I stand in my shoes and listen

only if they are comfortable shoes. Sometimes I just go barefoot. Why not?

not if they are wearing heels :)

Usually I try to see through other people's eyes

In the beginning, no. However, my level of empathy deepens as conversation becomes more personal.

For the most part yeah.

no, I'm me and i got my own shoes
