Level of empathy

Imagine that your close friend is going through a tough time but is not openly talking about it. How would you react? I will try to subtly lead him into a conversation so he can share his thoughts.
I will stay with him and let him know that I am here when he is ready to talk.
I will suggest an activity for him to distract himself and come up with different thoughts.
I'll leave it up to him to sort things out his way, and I won't interfere.
I will ask his acquaintances if they know what is going on so that I can better understand the situation.

In school or at work, you notice that someone is often alone and doesn't interact with others. What will you do? I will try to establish contact with him and invite him for a conversation.
I will reflect on the reason for his isolation, but I will not force him into society.
I will ask other people about him to find out if this is his natural behavior.
I don't interfere, everyone chooses who they want to spend time with.
I will encourage someone who knows him to invite him among us.

In a conflict between two close individuals, you feel tension. How do you react? I will try to mediate the conversation so they can clarify the situation.
I will wait until the situation calms down, and then I will ask them how they feel.
I will step back and let them resolve it among themselves.
I will look for one of them and offer support if they need it.
I will assess the situation and decide whether it makes sense to get involved.

In a group of friends, someone becomes the target of mockery. How do you react? I will immediately stand up for him and let others know that it is not okay.
I will subtly steer the topic towards something neutral to ease the situation.
I will wait to see if the person in question can defend themselves, and I will intervene if they need help.
After the conversation, I will meet with him and make sure he is okay.
I'll leave it as it is, after all, everyone must know how to take care of themselves.

In a group discussion, someone is sitting quietly and not expressing themselves. How would you approach this? I will ask him for his opinion so he has space to express himself.
I will encourage him subtly, for example with eye contact or a smile.
I'll leave it to him; if he wants to talk, he'll do it himself.
After the discussion, I will ask him what he thinks about it.
I will try to speak to him privately so that he feels more comfortable.

When talking to someone, you notice that they seem unhappy even though they claim to be fine. What will you do? I will ask him gently one more time if he is really okay.
I will offer him support and let him know that I'm here if he wants to talk.
I'll leave it as it is; everyone has the right to hide their feelings.
I will talk about something positive to improve his mood.
After a while, I will indirectly ask him how he has been feeling lately.

If you see that someone is having trouble understanding something but is too shy to ask, how will you help them? I'll ask if I can help in any way so that he doesn't feel awkward.
I will try to explain the matter in a way that makes it easy to understand.
I will discreetly offer him help only after the discussion.
I'll leave him to manage on his own if he doesn't want to ask for help.
I will wait for the opportunity when we are alone, and I will ask him if anything is unclear to him.

Someone confides in you their fears, but you don't know how to respond. What will you do? I will listen to him and make it clear that his feelings are important.
I will ask if I can do something to help him.
I'll try to lighten the situation to make him feel better.
I will give him practical advice on how to cope with it.
I will let him talk and I will support him without judgment.

Your friend tells you something important, but you disagree. How do you respond? I will express my opinion, but I try to be sensitive and understanding.
First, I will try to understand his perspective, and only then will I express my opinion.
I will simply say that I disagree, without much explanation.
I will express my opinion to him, but with an emphasis on the fact that I respect his viewpoint.
I will avoid a direct answer to prevent a possible conflict.

You see that someone made a mistake that could get them into trouble. How do you react? I will ask if he realizes it and offer him a solution.
I will subtly let him know that I noticed it, but I will leave it up to him to decide what to do.
If it doesn't concern me, I don't interfere.
I will discreetly help him fix the situation.
I will wait for the right moment and discreetly point out the mistake to him.
