My co-workers often mention that they really admire this trait. I just really enjoy helping people."

"I can relate to people very well by paying attention to the person with whom I'm speaking, empathizing with any issues that are coming up, and letting the other person set the pace of the interaction so that a person feels more at ease overall."

It's great that you're empathetic and relatable. These are both qualities that the interviewer will be happy to hear you have since this will likely mean that you're good with customers. Consider talking a bit about how these qualities help you when you're working with customers.
