Empathy is one of the learned traits. And must be learned before the age of seven.
So I would have to go back to before the age of seven to even give why I believe I'm empathetic.
Again empathy is learned. And some of my earliest memories revolve around concern over my mother. It's hard to say why I was concerned over her. Because it was in a dream that really made no sense.
Yet in the dream I remember hearing my mother fighting with something or someone. Getting up and going down the hall mom was trying to keep the sliding glass door shut, in our new trailer.
Nothing visible was on the other side of the glass door. Yet mom couldn't seem to keep the door shut.
That's when I remembered mom talking about ghosts.
That's all I remember of the dream. Yet the concern for my mother was there. This dream has stuck with me all my life. I was about 5 at the time.
