Sympathize

And, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I explicitly sympathize, it’s that I didn’t do all of the performative ritualistic moralizing and that was conflated with sympathizing.
Hym “See, it’s not that I sympathize it’s that we live in a time where you can’t talk about certain thing without moralizing beforehand ‘Oh geez, oh boy that was just the worst thing that has ever happened but...’ or ‘So and so is the worst person ever in the history of forever! But...’ All statements about bad thing MUST be preceded by the moralizing... Or it’s considered license to steal.”

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.
“She didn’t feel what I was feeling, she felt what she would feel if it were her. There’s a difference—and it’s called being a Sympath.”

Sympath

Descriptive Noun. Shorthand for sympathetic person. Someone who can feel for someone else's emotions, but not overwhelmingly so like a true empath would and show compassion but still keeps healthy boundaries.
He’ll always help you move or listen to your breakup story, but he doesn’t get drained by it. He’s a sympath.
