One time I was holding a puppy and opened my mouth wide. I was just playing with her, but she saw my open mouth and yawned. I did it again, this time intentionally, and she yawned a second time. Then she, I kid you not, CURLED UP AND FELL ASLEEP WITHIN SECONDS.
Goes to show how empathic puppies are! Didn't even yawn and she caught a contagious yawn.
That’s so cute 🥹

and im not complaining

i tend to show my empathy by comforting a sad person or do chores for a widow. you all go on and keep yawning - i'm sure the world will be better for it.
🥱
I feel like empathy levels are a lot harder to measure than with a "yawn test" video. I had zero urge to yawn but I definitely relate to other's pain and sorrows and tear up watching movies or reading novels and such regularly.
Yes me too. So should I feel guilty? Heck naw.
Same but Im actively empathy proof. I dont feel any pain or remorse watching others in pain, I have no feeling of joy watching the success of someone. I can go through hours of movies of multiple emotional rollercoasters and not bat an eye.

Same tho. Whenever I feel awkward
I can yawn from memories of other people yawning, so I'm able to trigger yawning by myself, and it's very funny to "check empathy" from other people by triggering the yawning.
Heck, even sometimes this would trigger yawning loops between me and some friends of mine
I was about to yawn until you yawned and i burst out in laughter
Even reading the word “yawn” makes me yawn..

I started to feel the desire to yawn just after hearing the word "yawn" for the first time, and then I yawned, and by the end of the video I yawned again. English is not my fist language, and it's kinda peculiar to me that the word "yawn" sounds almost like a yawn itself. I have hard time associating English words emotionally with what they mean, but for this word it was very easy
i yawned in seconds and it cleared my ears thanks 👍
My mistake was immediately reading the comments which made me yawn even more

I yawned more than he said yawn in the video
Me too 😂
I wont let you stop yawning
I'm probably not the first one to make this joke but I'm so unempathetic that I'm not even gonna take the test.
The reason I didn’t yawn was because I had just yawned the second the video started 😂😂😂

But then u can’t do it XD

I started to yawn the moment I saw the word yawn and yawned seven times throughout the rest of the video
I’m great at reading other people’s emotions. I grew up with a dad who scarcely showed obvious emotions so I got really good at picking up on tiny details, I can even fake a smile on the first try and have it took real. I yawned no less than 4 times during this video so ig it checks out lmao
It was always weird to me. Images and videos of people yawning never made me yawn, but actual people yawning irl always do
bro this is literally what happens to me
yeah me too
Yeah... Something tells me this really isn't a good way to determine empathy lol
same, i feel something but not enough to yawn, in other hand irl i always do
I felt like yawning but only from the moment he started to talk about yawning, though i kept it all in until a few seconds after the video ended
The fact an emotional island describes me,makes this even more accurate.
I felt like I wanted to laugh instead of yawning
i work at a daycare and at naptime, to get the kids to think they’re sleepy, i make sure they hear/see me yawn. it’s crazy how many times it’s worked

Bruh I yawned before the stock clips even played. I just saw the yellow and black word on the screen & it happened reflexively 😆
I tried so hard not to yawn, but the video ended and now I have to yawn but I can't because I keep laughing at the fact that I'm yawning. Geez...
You described that almost too perfectly ... *yawn*
JackOnMars exactly the same happened to me.
that's what happens everytime i have to yawn but i'm aware of it so i can't and i laugh and the people around me start to have to yawn too so we just can't stop laughing as fuck 'cause we have to yawn but we laugh as fuck instead, cool

@@tashfeenj8259 Well yes, but the point of the OP is that being able to actively resist that feeling is a sign that they have strong emotional control, which is itself a way of measuring their emotional maturity.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME
LMAOAOAO SAMEEEE
I've always been able to read people's emotions. I just don't give a fuck about them. Does that count as empathy?
Empathy is not a conscious effort to read emotions. It's an subconscious process where you see body language and literally feel the related feeling, tiredness, pain, etc. So if you are empathetic, people should stop feeling pain or tiredness or bad things because it's affecting you ffs damn those selfish guys. XD
Btw I didnt yawn so yeah I win the dgaf competition :P
That means you're not empathetic. "sociopath" can read others emotions and understand them easily, but will not care and try using it to their advantage.
It's not called empathy
Alexander Hsiung You just described a sociopath, not a psychopath
while watching this video I yawned 2 times and afterwards 5 to 6 times
Already knew i was an 'emotional island' before watching this but it's fun to hear it from someone else.
It's weird for me I guess. I consider myself pretty good at reading emotions, but yawns aren't contagious to me.
i agree

Just as the video ended and I was thinking to myself, ok then i am not an empathic person and smiled, a yawn came out of nowhere!
I cant yawn at some pictures or films but if somebody in a 10 meter cycle yawns I instantly yawn along them.
I heard the word “Yawn” and I yawned. I also cry when other people cry (I have no idea why though.) and feel excited when the majority of people in the room express excitement. So I guess I’m an empath? Only problem here is I can’t express my own emotions properly so most of the time I look like I don’t care.
I guess you're just really easily influenced, not sure if that counts as empathy or not, but you might be an easy prey for manipulative people so be careful.
@@ююю-ч9д I dealt with someone who tried a while ago. I come across as a pushover to people who don’t know me well. I was able to tell his intentions by the way he would treat my best friend (she’s incredibly protective of me because I’m the most innocent of the two of us.) Thanks for worrying about me though!
Too empathetic. I'd prefer to die than always feeling what other feels. People around me are always too excited or too depressed.
You can train it, evan to express your self easier. Sadly dear is not a lot of material floating around specifically garnered to people with a lot of empathy. But it will help you a good bit to navigate the world and your emotions better.
same, i tend to cry when i’m trying to help other people overcome mental health conditions such as depression, or just any other negative thing that has been affecting their life such as the passing of a family member. hearing their story just breaks my heart. plus it kinda makes it less awkward crying together rather than someone just crying alone
except i dont get excited when other people are excited, definitely not an extrovert so places with large amounts of people tire me out lol. prefer being in a one-on-one setting or a small group setting
