There are many signs as to whether you are being empathetic or not. 

Here are some examples:

• I easily feel sad when others around me feel sad.
• When someone is feeling excited, I feel excited too.
• It upsets me if someone is treated disrespectfully.
• I am able to listen to others.

There are so many more examples - can you think of any?
