You are correct. It IS sympathy. Sympathy acknowledges the situation. Empathy acknowledges their feelings, more like "I can imagine how this situation makes you feel."
Discussion in all my relationships: "I just want you to listen to me, not try to fix the problem!". I think I'll just go for the guys next time I hear that...
tbh the only reason I told my girlfriend to stop giving me advice when I'm upset is that she sucks at it. She only gives me obvious advice I already thought of and it's really annoying.
Thoughts and prayers
They say any time God closes a door, he opens a window
Isn't that more like sympathy?

I'd imagine empathy being that they would emulate the feelings of those like the woman. I fully expected him to get into a panic and start crying.
That's a nice cleavage spike she has
A cleavage what now?
keratinous chest horn
Das her nipple doe
In school we called her Spike. She ain’t like it
No she's actually >woman
Let's call Captain Hindsight next, I am sure he will have some good ideas.
"Kid shouldn't have been in the fire. Well, my work here is done. Captain Hindsight, AWAAAAAAY!"
slowly turns and walks away
That's Captain Obvious.
Captain Hindsight would point out leaving your scented candle burning unattended in the bathroom was a bad idea, or something like that.
Slightly different.
*maintains eye contact and moonwalks away"
He does have hindsight, after all.
The link doesn't work for me, so in case anyone else has trouble:
I've been noticing bugged images more often over the past week or so. I wonder what's up.
Same. The preview works but when it loads fully it's just broken. I'm using the connect app but it's probably some buggy metadata.
Stop trying to FIX! I just want to feel heard.
We don't work that way!
Nah, Empathy Man would make sure the building is up to fire code and has fire escapes so the kid has less chances of getting stuck in that situation

They're only saying that because your suggestions aren't good enough. Keep trying to solve their problems, you'll get it eventually.
It also might be he's not assertive enough. It's not enough to tell them what to do, you also have to pressure them constantly to take your advice.

I mean, that is a legit and valid criticism/request. Have you ever tried just listening?
it's not about the nail
damn check out the jugs on that broad
compassion > empathy
Thoughts and prayers man.
