Sympath

Sympathy Not to be confused with empathy. Sympathy is the deep feeling of your own emotions in response to another’s experience. You're not absorbing their feelings, you’re resonating through the lens of your own emotional truth. Sympaths don’t merge with others, they echo. They feel heartbreak by imagining what it would be like for them, not by taking on someone else’s pain directly. Empaths feel you. Sympaths feel themselves feeling you. A powerful emotional mirror with strong boundaries, a Sympath will cry during a sad movie not because they’ve absorbed the character’s emotions, but because it made them reflect on their own losses.
