The Difference Between Sympathy and Empathy

Sympathy feels sorry for you, tries to make you feel better, and anxiously solves your problem. Empathy puts itself in your shoes, listens carefully, and has your back while you solve it yourself. Sympathy looks down at you, holds you back, debilitates. Empathy meets you at your level to empower the strength within. Sympathy is the language of well-intended parents. Empathy the language of effective ones.

Let us help you become a more effective parent!

I want to thank you for putting up the differences between sympathy and empathy. Ever since, I thought it has the same meaning. But then I realized that empathy is totally different from the second word because empathy is a better emotion than the other one. It would be great if you will get the chance to meet people with empathy because you can 100% rely on them. While people who choose to sympathize with you sounds goods, it would be better if you will choose to be empathic.
