Question

Define why you think empathy and sympathy are different in your own words. answer must be at least 8 sentences

Answer 1

The words sympathy and empathy are similar in some ways but are two different words. Sympathy is a feeling in which a person feels bad for the other and pities them. It provides the feeling of sorrow. The act of sympathy only provides comfort for a person and doesn't involve any similarly shared feelings. Empathy is when you are able to connect with someone and understand truly how they feel. The act also helps two people share their feelings and misfortunes with each other. Empathy gives the ability for someone to put their shoes in the other's. So, the words sympathy and empathy are two different pillars and each have a different definition and standing.
