Do you have empathy for others?

Yes, I am sponge-like in my capacity for feeling. Sometimes it's agonizing. People perceive it as a weakness, generally, but it's a talent. I can't always understand what exactly the feelings are, put a name to them, but I have a natural (heightened) sense for what's going on inside others. If I'm close with someone and I feel they're uncomfortable, it will bother me if I don't do something to try and make it better.

"Want some more light?"

"You need a blanket?"

"What's on your mind?"
