ChatGPT asked me to talk to open AI about this

//My first question to gpt chat
Why do you think understanding emotions is difficult? What steps can I take to develop my empathy , understanding others feelings and seemingly irrational behaviors? How do I develop listening and probing skills in manners that reveal my desire to assist, revealing my intentions in my words.
Understanding emotions can be difficult because they are often complex and nuanced. People can experience a mix of different emotions at the same time, and these emotions can change rapidly. Additionally, people may not always express their emotions openly, which can make it challenging to understand what they are feeling.

To develop empathy and understanding of others’ feelings, one of the most important things you can do is to listen actively and try to see things from the other person’s perspective. This means paying attention to what the other person is saying, asking clarifying questions, and trying to understand their perspective, even if you don’t necessarily agree with it. It’s also important to be patient and non-judgmental when trying to understand others’ emotions.

To develop listening and probing skills, it’s helpful to focus on being present and engaged in the conversation. This means putting aside distractions, such as your phone or other tasks, and giving the other person your full attention. You can also try asking open-ended questions, which are questions that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. These types of questions can help you learn more about the other person’s thoughts and feelings, and can help you to better understand their perspective.

It’s also important to be aware of your own body language and tone of voice when trying to reveal your desire to assist and your good intentions. Using a warm and compassionate tone of voice, making eye contact, and nodding your head to show that you are listening can all help to communicate your desire to help and your good intentions.

// My next comment seems to have made a mess
Intentions are not enough. I need clever solutions to unsaid needs and desires that underlay a given statement problem question comment etc emotion outburst.

I am guessing it might have to do with server overload. It seems that waiting a bit sometimes helps.
