Expanded Information
The realms of empathy:
First level: Understanding the other person's expressed words, behaviors, and physicality. This is the simplest level, and certainly a difficult one; it is the basic point of distinction between a person with or without empathy.
People who lack empathy tend to be self-centered, stuck in their own emotions, obsessions, or motivations, and lack the ability to change places. Getting along with them is depressing, difficult, awkward, suffocating, and the further away you get, the better.
The second level: Understanding the other person's unexpressed emotions, feelings, motives and thinking. Man is a strange animal, when he is thinking about something, but talking about irrelevant things, leaving important information to be said or not said later. That's why many men can't figure out that "you're bad" is the same as "I like you".
