The emotional connection we make with the people around us is powerful food for the soul. We all need understanding and validation. To feel like there is at least one other person in the universe who understands and supports us.
However, in a hyper-connected society like the one we live in, we are indeed increasingly connected, but also more absent and, therefore, more alone. Many people are physically present, but mentally and emotionally distant. They nod absentmindedly as they look at the thousand. They forget the conversation because they never got involved in it.
Of course, we can't connect emotionally when our minds are elsewhere. Empirical resonance, on the other hand, involves connecting with the other's inner world to provide the support they need.
