Ppl need to learn the different between emotional empathy and cognitive empathy. Alhaitham may not have a lot of emotional empathy and might see words of comfort as dishonest in some cases, he does have a lot of cognitive empathy as seen w Kaveh and even Shani from the desert
AlHaitham has incredible empathic accuracy and I'm very glad that someone has brought this up, and has specified the need to differentiate Kaveh's type of emotional intelligence from Haitham's.
This is the exact reason why some people are obsessed with saying that Haitham has low emotional intelligence, because they don't understand the type that he has and can't relate to it. Not everyone FEELS the emotions of others, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't understand.
Please come back and let us continue this discussion!
