What Does Empathy Means?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    "Empathy" is being able to feel the emotions of others based on a
    common understanding. For example, two people who have each lost a
    spouse, can feel empathy for each other because each understands what
    that is like. Conversely, "sympathy" means that you can commiserate
    with a person, even though you don't personally know what it is like to
    go through a certain situation. I can feel sympathy for those who
    suffered the effects of the 2004 tsunami, but not exactly empathy as
    I've never lived through that.
