Empathy- to feel the emotions of another
Sympathy- to understand and nurture the emotions of another
when you need empathy and someone gives you sympathy what's the point? I don't want sympathy for a pathetic situation, I want empathy so that someone truly feels and understands that I need to talk too, not just listen to them. but then i was cursed with this blasted listening gene. That's ok I guess, but my question is, if you are an empath can you feel those emotions so strongly that just a phone line connection can cause you to be in pain as the other person is? This new lil empath thing I have going on really freakin sucks. So how do I control it, if I can at all?
