The world of empathy
The empathy is greater than sympathy
There's a lot of difference between empathy and sympathy
@Hearthealer002
There certainly is.
If you'd like to share, How do you demarcate the differences between the two and what makes empathy stand out for you more?😊
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Empathy will help a person to recognise others feelings
I hope people will show empathy because they have to understand how others are feeling
If sympathy,there is only concern and Nothing else...
@Hearthealer002
That is one great difference and I agree. Thank you for sharing.
Sympathizing with someone can make us feel sorry for them, which is usually only a pitiful feeling but Empathy helps us recognize their emotions, how they feel and enables us to put ourselves in their shoes, for better understanding and a more genuine form of care, comparatively.

Yup empathy is walking in someone else's shoe while sympathy is just seeing it or kinda giving them validation that it's bad without even actually knowing to what extent
