Question by hey: What is sympathy, empathy, and compassion?
and how do they influence our daily lives?

Best answer:

Answer by capwest5a
Sympathy = feeling FOR someone (“I can understand your loss.”)

Empathy = feeling WITH someone (“We’ll share this struggle together.”)

Compassion =
– a deep awareness of and sympathy for another’s suffering
– the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it

Compassion is a combination of sympathy and empathy.
(“I can understand your loss and we’ll share this struggle together.”)
————-
In our daily lives, for a certain event in your life, some people will sympathize with you, others will empathsize with you, yet others will be compassionate. There are of course others who will do none of those three things.
