empathizers
Those who relate
Empathizers are people who readily feel or understand the emotions of others.
The term often appears in contrast to systemizers—those who prefer analyzing patterns and rules over emotional connection.
Empathizers make natural counselors.
Someone called an empathizer typically possesses this quality as a defining trait rather than exercising it occasionally.
