How do I show empathy to people?
How do I console people who've been through some shit, assuming I can't offer them a legit solution to the problem?
presence is more than enough most of the times

I don't get it when retards from /r9k/ post shit like this. Are you stupid? You can't LEARN empathy... you feel it or you don't.
just let them vent to you, and if they ask for your opinions give them. Don't be dismissive or judgemental or offer more than asked most of the time

Of course you can. For some it may be more difficult, but it can be practiced and improved.

"hey man. I'm really sorry for you. I don't know if I can help, but I'm here to listen if you want to talk about it."
