    A1: Empathy is when you are able to feel what someone else is feeling. It is more real. #ecet2
  • barrykid1 Feb 12 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1 #ecet2 empathy is listening, thinking, feeling from another's POV; sympathy and pity are surface level = condolences, feeling sad

    A1: Empathy is abt being able to identify w/those who are DIFFERENT from you - share in their emotions, w/e they are #ecet2
  • AdamBrownEDU Feb 12 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1. Empathy is walking in someone's shoes and understanding the path to move forward. It is difficult to move forward at times #ecet2
  • TeachDB17 Feb 12 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1. Empathy encourages you to be aware, to feel what others feel & then act. When you sympathize you feel but it may stop there. #ecet2
  • LitCoachLady Feb 12 @ 8:07 PM EST
    I think empathy embodies walking around in the shoes and feeling/seeing-sympathy is offering support from a safe distance. #ecet2

    A1 empathy makes you feel for someone so much that it compels you to action. #ecet2
    In reply to @WickedDecent
  • T_HEB Feb 12 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1 Empathy is truly listening to understand, identify with. It is hard work. Sympathy & pity are reactionary. #ecet2

  • brookster29 Feb 12 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Action. If we can truly empathize & imagine ourselves in someone else's shoes, we use our words and/or take action to help them. #ecet2
  • ables_meghan Feb 12 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1. Empathy puts you in their shoes. Seeing what they see. Feeling what they feel. Knowing their heart & what's on their mind #ECET2
