How empathy grows through experience
In addition, adolescence is a time of deepening perspective-taking and greater self-awareness, both critical abilities involved in empathy.By young adulthood, we can develop all the necessary tools for empathy. We can tap into our cognitive understanding of what we are physically sharing with others and figure out what the meaning might be of the other person’s actions or experiences. But deeper learning and understanding still takes time.
With age, we can gather new and insightful experiences that expand our understanding of others. This grows our empathy. Unfortunately, we can also choose not to explore new dimensions of life, and that can have the effect of diminishing our empathic abilities. Stretching ourselves to try new things, meet new people, and visit new places can expose us to others who are different. This expanded exposure contributes to building greater empathy.
