First, watch the video above. Then read the following. I would recommend watching this a couple of times to ensure you have a good idea of the difference between empathy and sympathy.
"To understand the difference between empathy and sympathy it helps if we connect to our own life experiences. Think of a time someone showed you empathy, or you showed empathy to them. Use this experience to explain your understanding of what empathy is and how it is different than sympathy. If you cannot, at this time, think of a personal moment, create one (do not use the example from the video) and use this to help explain the difference." 1) Watch the video above a couple of times. Then reflect on your thoughts and feelings about the information in the video, the connections or feelings you had. 2) Write a thoughtful response based on the paragraph above in green ensuring you have met the criteria. It should be between 3-5 sentences. 3) Wait for someone to post. Reply to their post giving them feedback using the criteria found in the banner (top of page) on Blog page. 4) Once you have received feedback from a peer you are to revise your original.

Empathy is way different then sympathy because empathy takes stuff in but sympathy spits it out. When i showed empathy was when my friend was very sad because is fish passed away so i was trying to tell him that at least you had a pet to play with because most people in the world aren't able to get a pet.

when you said your friends fish passed away you made a spelling mistake and your example was about sympathy not empathy.

I learned that sympathy is like "oh no i dropped my wallet and cant find it" "well at least it wasn't a gold bar" but empathy is like "i have been there too and its ok to feel that way"

This is a rather short comment and i would suggest rewatching the video so you attain more knowledge about Sympathy and Empathy. Remember to not be lazy with your spelling and always remember spaces and punctuation. Overall it isn't bad and has a good message.

i thnk emptathy is better than simpathy because it helps people connect with other ppl and simpathy just tries to put a silverlining around something that might be amking someone sad once i showed empathy when my brother failed his math test and i told him that at least it was only one test. I don't think he felt better but he shouldve because he's not the only person to fail tests everyone does somtime and its not a big deal

The differance between empathy and sympathy is empathy is when someone makes you feel better by sharing an equal experiance. sympathy is when someone says something like at least ____ didn't happen to you. Once i broke my thumb playing cats with my brother and when i went to school someone in my class showed empathhy by saying when they broke a bone.

Sympathy Is just Silver lining the problem. For example If you hit your head and someone said at least you don't have a concussion. While empathy on the other hand is putting your self in others shoes, relating to them, and sharing experiences. Once my friend from my old school let me know that her friends were talking behind her back. I had also been talked about behind my back by the same people. So I empathized with her.

I read through your comment and next time before publishing I would check your punctuation. In the very end you should've used a comma. Overall it's pretty good though.

I believe that empathy is knowing that it hurts to experience what they have experienced, even though they have never felt their pain. Sympathy is when you understand someones pain because you went through it yourself. I know what it's like to be depressed and anxious. The way I deal with these problems is be being as funny and happy as i can. I like entertaining people if they are comfortable with me making them laugh. Otherwise, I would leave them alone because I needed alone time too.

Hello, kesame. I first noticed that you used brackets "( and )" for "Sympathy and "Empathy". This is very unnecessary, brackets are used when you may have made something unclear, example: He (spagetfol) went to the store. For "won't" you did not use an apostrophe, and for your " I's ", they need to be capitalized. Please work on your grammar and spelling. Thanks- spagetfol.

Empathy is different than sympathy. Empathy is when someone is feeling down for a reason and you help them by feeling WITH them and not agenst them. In fact sympathy is when you feel agenst someone and if they tell you whats wrong you use the "well at least..." excuse. A time is used empathy is when I was helping my brother with his homework and he told me how hard his math can be for him. I told him that I understood and math can be hard for me also. I did not say oh well at least it wasn't... and use that excuse.

empathy is when someone takes what you say and puts it in their prospective. For example, when people get hurt I think of how much it would hurt if it happened to me. sympathy is when someone sees what happened and says that at least you have blank. For example when I was cut from A2 people said "well at least you're in rep",

the difference between the two are the way the two people connect over it. if you are showing empathy your connecting on a deeper level, reconizing, and feeling with them . telling them you have had the same experience, so they know they are not alone. sympathy is more like, oh this person told me this let me tell them about how its good compared to another thing. your not feeling with the person. i was going to my first soccer tryout my brother showed me sympathy by telling me about how he also felt the same thing and how it gets better. he then told me what to excpect. which really helped more than, if he said at least it wasn't raining.

The way you described empathy and sympathy is informative, but you may want to review the assignment. You are missing apart of the assignment.

Empathy is when you try to make the person you are taking to feel like they not alone when dealing with their problem, or trying to relate to the person. Sympathy is when you try to make he person seem like there problem could be worse, and that doesn't make the person feel better.

I think empathy is a lot different than sympathy in many different ways. sympathy doesn't make you feel better, while empathy you end up feeling really connected to the person thats telling you.

Empathy is when you know someone is hurting or in a very dark state and are able to show your support because maybe you've been through that same thing or you know someone who has. For me, one time a family member of mine kept comparing me to my cousin and it made me feel like I was never enough. Then my cousin came through and helped me through it and it made me feel better. Simpathy is when you are like, "well at least you have so and so". It's better to feel empathy because it will most likely make them feel better. :)

the difference between empathy and sympathy, is that empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes. An example of that would be felling for somebody who's sad or depressed. it is being able to put yourself into somebody else's shoes. sympathy is feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.

I like your example, but, I think you need to read over your explanation because there are a few spelling mistakes here and there.Check to make sure that the punctuation is incorrect in some places, and you repeat yourself when you're talking about empathy.

one time i fell off of the playground when i was 7 years old and i was bleeding really badly so my mom showed empathy by telling me she has gotten hurt before too. the difference between sympathy and empathy is, empathy you say oh well that happened to me too. and simpathy you say well at least you did not lose this.

Empathy is more effective because you are relating to someones problem and trying to make them feel better when sympathy is just comparing to their problems and making the person you are talking to feel worse because it makes them feel like you do not care.

the difference of empathy and sympathy is feeling empathy for someone you understand how they feel and you can connect the feeling, feeling sympathy for someone is if someone says that something happened to them you would say at least the worst of that could have happened. A time that i have felt empathy for some is when, My friend forgot her group dance on stage and I said oh I know how that feels.

I think the empathy is better then sympathy because with empathy you are relating to the person and sympathy you are saying it is okay that you have a problem but you can make it better by thinking of other good things.
