You, my friend… you become the cure to cancer. Keep it up, hero.

That’s Big Mouth’s Jay shit, right there

Name?

I would argue that the average person refers to a mix of both when they use the word “empathy”:

• caring about the other person’s pain
• being there for them
• trying to see things from their perspective
• wanting the other person to be better and wondering how one could help.

Classifying one as “a terrible problem” and the other as acceptable seems (at least) a bit pedantic. Specially when it comes to language, a dynamic phenomena in which words mean what (the majority of) people deem them to mean.

my two cents

TLDW. what would the difference between sympathy and empathy be?

I just don’t tip. Period. Zero. Nada. Unless I have the initiative of doing it because I feel that the person did an excellent job.

Zero shame on not tipping.

Can you hair may mayour Tom?
