How much empathy is 'normal'?
Post Body

Hesitant to post this, but no risk - no reward, right?

I had a friend propose that I have low empathy. I think the amount of empathy I have, and how I react to situations is reasonable, given my upbringing and the behavior modeled for me. I try to be a kind person and help where I can, but sometimes I simply do not have the emotional bandwidth to 'get it' or be someone's sounding board while they vent. While this friend cannot specifically outline why she made that statement, I am somewhat concerned by it.

How much empathy should I have?
