Dear Zack,

It is interesting you should use the word compliment...no, but people have been intrigued and even wanted to learn empathy from me...

When I was young, empathy was often overwhelming; the feelings of the other person were sometimes all I could see. I would have to go and be alone to even find my own point of view.

empathy; the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

I wouldn't say complimented, thanked, yes.

Curiously enough, no. I have no idea why that should be.

Yes.

And while she is not the only one to do so, it is most important to me that my wife so values me.

But for reasons that should seem obvious, my ability to empathize with fools is necessarily severely limited.

Yes! Compliment and acknowledgement both. I faced that many times. I am happy about myself on that part, it's about empathy and listening combined together and closer friends and people who get the experience more constantly they come to a compliment way and calling me with positive names and sharing me their positive feelings about the subject and sometimes they really make me blush!! But it's a pleasant experience for me. I enjoy to see if people can feel such expressions from me. It's precious.
