Hi Jennifer. Another great lesson!
Sympathy: understand what happen.
Empathy: Feel what happen. You put yourself in others' shoes.
" I do not ask a wounded person how he/she feels, I myself become the wounded person"

Hi Jennifer! I have wondered what's the difference between sympathy and empathy. Thanks to you, now I know! Examples: 1) I have no sympathy for people, who are aggressive and/or obnoxious. 2) Having empathy is a greatly appreciated trait. It shows that you care for other people and that you are humane.

"He showed his sympathy by flattering me."
"I thought that she was insincere to me. But when she cried silently while I was telling her my tragic story, I finally realized her empathy."
Thank you very much, Jennifer!
As much as it was challenging to come up with an example sentence, I think that I eventually did well.

First rate lesson again by the most gorgeous teacher ever .
It’s important to practice sympathy for others when they go through a rough patch, words of conform mean the world in that moment, also try to show empathy put on his/ her shoes, imagine how devastating the situation is for them right now .

[rajeshtewari]

Empathy is the ability to experience the feelings of another person. It goes beyond sympathy, which is caring and understanding for the suffering of others.
