Let's talk about the difference between the sympathy and empathy.The two terms are closely related,But there is a difference.
So when we sympathize with somebody else, we are acknowledging their feeling,we are identifying with them. We might not be alongside them feeling it with them,but we at least can understand it. So expressing your sympathy or being sympathetic to someone else's situation is a way to bond with them.Now empathy takes it one step further. You're right there beside that person feeling it with them. So you might say something like, hey, i've been here before. I know what you're going through right now. There is to be empathetic to someone else or to empathize with somebody. So with empathy, you not only acknowledge what they are feeling,but you also understand it yourself. You're expressing it with them, or you have expressed it before.
