I do want my friends to do this, as it forces me to deal with myself.
I never said I'd take it well, or that I wouldn't be defensive. And, yes, I do feel, and deeply, but I also screw up because I don't know how OTHERS feel.
So, how does one develop empathy? I have always thought of it more as a talent than a skill.
