So I was testing to see if I had empathy today(to make sure I wasn't a psycho/sociopath), and when I looked at pictures of a crying anime kitten, I felt bad and had the impulse to hug it. I felt the same today when I read a post about someone's mom dying and for an abandoned cat too.
Is this empathy? I hope it is, I don't want to be a psycho/sociopath or animal torturer!
