Few terms are equally misunderstood. Empathy has nothing to do with sympathy. Sympathy means being able to related to someone else&#8217;s pain. For example: A Vietnam vet may relate to what a Gulf War vet has gone through. However, he doesn&#8217;t feel how it impacts him specifically unless he is an empath. Empathy is not something you can learn or shut off when you have it. Empathy however can turn into sociopathy when the individual is &#8220;broken&#8221;. Are you Rh negative? Are you highly intuitive? Are you also an Empath? Please share your thoughts.
