🙅🏽 Myth: empathy is talent. Either you have it, or you don’t.

💁🏽 Truth: #empathy is a skill. Anyone can learn & develop it!

Empathy gives us insight into people’s deeper #emotional needs, so we can #design things that truly serve them.

Apathy, or even sympathy, let us view other people as less-than-human. But #empathy compels us to honor the #humanity of another person. And #compassion inspires us to help them.
