Does this only happen to people with great empathy trait?

As a certified hypnotist, yeah, I notice quite often that people can zone right in. But then there are others that won't.

It really comes down to the person, the interest and willingness to listen to the person. Why do some people like classical music, while others like country, or hip-hop? It comes down to the interest and willingness to listen.
