Empathetic

I've been told I am a very empathetic person, but I just want the people around me to be happy. I know I can't fix people's problems. However I still want to bring people joy. How do I go about this?

Why not be the reason that YOU smile. Then once you are smiling, its infectious so others will smile too. Take care🙂

I do like this one. I tried to make everyone happy, in hopes that people would then reciprocate. I'm trying to get out of that thinking and just take care of myself.
