          Gee, thanks for confusing me even more. How can both be correct? Isn’t one towards yourself, and one towards others?

            Empathy is more personal emotion, while sympathy is more intellectual agreement.

            I empathize with my family, I sympathize with the Palestinians.

              Sympathy is when someone is hurting and you feel bad about that. Empathy is when someone is hurting and you feel hurt yourself.
