Do anda believe that to sympathize with a person, anda need to be able to relate to them?

No. Most pet pasangan respect the feelings of their pet. Humans are different from other living things. A rich person can feel sympathy for a poor person. A pampered dog can’t feel sorry for a tramp.

Nah. Maybe to EMPATHIZE with someone, yes, but to sympathize nah. anda don't need to break a leg to sympathize and feel bad for them, anda just know and understand that it really isn't fun, it is hard, and that it really sucks. Knowing that it is easy to sympathize with someone.

To EMPATHIZE, it depends to be honest. anda have to have some basis of understanding to properly empathize - enough that anda can put together an image of what it was like for them from your experiences. It is really hard for someone without psychosis to empathize with those that do. Some might know a lot of people who have psychosis and get a good understanding for what it is like and might be able to empathize, but most who haven't had much interaction atau experience with pscyhosis struggle to truly understand the experience

That's the difference between sympathy and empathy. Empathy is understanding what someone else is feeling because anda have experienced it yourself atau can put yourself in their shoes. Sympathy is acknowledging a person's emotional hardships and providing comfort and assurance. There's no need to be able to relate to what the person has experienced, just recognition of their suffering.

oleh definition, "Empathy is a term we use for the ability to understand other people's feelings as if we were having them ourselves. ... Sympathy refers to the ability to take part in someone else's feelings, mostly oleh feeling sorrowful about their misfortune."

In other words, no. anda don't need to relate to sympathize. But anda do need to relate to emphthize.
