Read the paragraph below, then answer the question below.

"The same mechanism also makes us empathize with others when they are feeling negative, which could make us feel down. This is particularly tru for close friends and family, as our representations of them in the brain physically overlap with our representations of ourselves. Doing a kind act to make someone who is sad feel better can also make us feel good - partly because we feel the same relief they do and partyly because we are putting something right."

What does the word empathize mean as it is used in this paragraph?
