Empathy in simple words is the ability to understand and/or feel what another person is experiencing. For example, when your teacher asks the class to introduce yourself to the new kid you wonder, why? Put yourself in their shoes, how do you think they feel? It's important to consider others and try to imagine what they are feeling.
It's very important to think before you say something especially if you know it's hurtful.
Tips on showing empathy:
Approach someone new, ask how they are feeling
Validate others feelings
Listen to others
Offer to help you can
Put yourself in their shoes
Always be supportive
