God's Seven-Eleven is just today, soz bbzI don't know how to answer that question, in seriousness. I've never found it difficult, personally. Simply try to take into consideration how what you say and do may affect others and how it will make them feel. If they are upset or something and you don't know why, or think they "shouldn't" be, try to look at things from their perspective. Empathy is about understanding.
I understand feelings. I look at the situation. Consider the perspectives of others. Decide the result that gains me the thing I want. In example, bonding. Then I act according to that for the greatest gain for greatest amount of individuals. Sometimes it isn't what I want either and benefits me in no way. This leads me to believe the individual is selfish and does not consider individuals other than themselves in their actions. It bothers me, but not enough to act one way or another or express that I am sorry for a situation they ultimately caused to happen for themselves.
I also try to not inconvenience others if at all possible. Potentially also help them gain something in the process.
