    insert Simpsons meme I’m gonna guess you’re right, and that I was wrong, and I will say that I won’t remember the right one the next time.

        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.
