With sympathy you merely feel sorry for someone’s misfortune. With empathy, you have the ability to understand and share that emotion and feeling with someone.

Sympathy – Sorry that happened. Have you tried yoga?

Empathy – Sorry that happened. I understand where you’re coming from as I’ve gone through it myself.
