This is a site filled with those who specialise in characters, and taking on their role, hence roleplaying. Because of this, I would imagine that a lot of people here are quite empathetic and understanding of others, due to the richness of understanding that is required in order to take on the perspective of another person.

Have you yourself foud that you have an especial understanding of others? Can you put yourself in the shoes of another person and relate to them, even, perhaps, to the point of them being predictable?

I'm interested in hearing examples also of your own perspective taking ability, such as how a situation played out to your benefit due to your ability to read others.
