Sympathy means understanding how someone feels, while empathy means feeling it with them

Sympathy and empathy mean the same thing

Empathy means feeling sorry for someone, but sympathy means helping them

Sympathy is always better than empathy

It helps us connect with others and be kind

It makes people feel weak

It helps us ignore problems

It makes people more popular

Laughing at someone upset

Ignoring someone crying

Listening and saying, "I understand how you feel"

Telling someone to stop being upset

Judging the person

Ignoring their feelings

Listening carefully and saying, "I understand how you feel"

Crossing your arms and looking away

Making eye contact and nodding

Walking away when someone is talking

Checking your phone while they speak

I don’t care.

I know you’re feeling sad. Do you want to talk about it?

You should stop feeling that way.

You’re being silly.

Tell them to forget about it

Offer to listen and be there for them

Make jokes about their situation

Tell them you’ve been through worse

Ignore people’s feelings

Think about how others feel and treat them with kindness

Always give advice without listening

Never talk to others about their feelings

Force them to tell you what’s wrong

Respect their space but let them know you are there for them

Laugh at them

Tell them they are being dramatic
