Empathy and Sympathy: The Difference

I'm so glad I came across this video, as I'm one of those people who often has difficulty reading between the lines, and so its nice to have things actually spelled out for me, so that I don't keep making the same mistake over and over when a friend is in a bad spot.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!! When I was younger I struggled with the difference between empathy and sympathy. Wish I had seen this video then.

Ps- I love your footer(?). Lmao

If you like that, than you might like this too. Very great talk on vulnerability including info on empathy vs sympathy.

Wow, I thought I understood the difference between empathy and sympathy, but that clarified it nicely
