Im sincerely sorry if there is another thread about this topic. Had a quick but not thorough look.
How do you view empathy?
1) Do you see it at as trying to imagine how you would feel in the situation if you were them?
How would I feel about this situation that they are in?
What would I do in this situation that they are in?
or
2) Do you see it as imagining how they would feel personally given their individual idiosyncratic personality and circumstances.
How would they feel about this situation?
What would they do in this situation?
I relate to the second one because if I try to imagine how I would feel in the person's situation it would probably be quite different to how they would feel.
Most of my friends and family relate more to the first option.
The only person that I have spoken to that relates to the second option is my one and only real life INFJ friend. I dont know if this is type related but I was just curious.
I think maybe the NI Fe combination forces me to try and see things from other's perspectives
