Articulating empathy, such that it can be signaled and demonstrated, is hard. It requires identifying the feelings of some else, mapping them onto your own value system, then describing what that's like for you.

it's not so hard, like if you keep a catalogue of feelings that you access regularly. you recognize feelings quicker, you map your own quicker. I'm thinking about it as if it were any other skill - easier with practice

I agree that it's a skill
