Empathy is the imaginative putting of yourself in others’ shoes, being able to identify with their feelings; sympathy involves supporting or at least understanding the plight of others.
Effectively, if you think you feel just like another person, you are feeling empathy. If you just feel sorry for another person, you’re feeling sympathy.
