    Empathy, in my eyes, is a very important part of someone's character and I look for it in other people just because you don't come by it very often. My ability to empathize with other people is one of my best traits in my opinion, although it does get me in trouble every now and again. My friends normally come to me when they need advice just because I am able to place myself in the shoes of everyone and look at things from everyone's perspective which gives me insights on why people did what they did and how they feel. I find that i don't easily get angry with people because I know why they do what they do, or I try to understand it anyway. It can get me into pickles sometimes though.
