Theory of mind describes the fact that we cannot see someone else's mind, so we have to guess, to theorize, what they are thinking or feeling. It's fundamental to empathy.
Our theory of mind allows us to assess others' intentions, knowledge, and beliefs, helping us to predict behavior and understand motives more deeply.
The first part of theory of mind relates to understanding others' thoughts about us. This perspective-taking develops early in life but is crucial for empathy.
When we relate to others' feelings and thoughts through theory of mind, we can affirm their value and strengthen interpersonal connections.
