So you can clearly see the difference between the two words. Sympathy is a compassion and sorrow one feels for another, but empathy is more focused around personally identifying with or projecting oneself into anotherâs situation.

Empathy is also different from sympathy, which involves feeling concern for the suffering of another person and a desire to help. That said, empathy is not a unique human experience.
