I see Jamison practicing empathy, according to Zaki’s definition, sharing in and developing an understanding of what the people in her essay are going through is when she meets these people at places like a coffee shop or the bathroom to talk to them. She says that she doesn’t notice their disfigure until she is up close to them to see all their sores. Jamison sits with them and asks them, the women she finds, how they feel and how they see this disease. They tell her all about it and she makes them feel better by telling them that to her they aren’t a scarred face person, but beautiful. She connects and listens to them as they were anyone else. Not any different from herself.
