I don't feel sympathy for hi


So you've killed someone?

Sympathy means you know what they are going through bc you have experienced the same.

Empathy means you are saddened by what they are going thru but you've never experienced it.

Not really, especially since the word sympathy greatly outdated empathy. Sympathy doesn't involve a shared perspective.

Empathy is far more involved and means you have to put yourself in their shoes. Sympathy just means that you feel sorry for them.
