“Empathy fuels connection. Sympathy drives disconnection.” - Brene Brown

Empathy and sympathy are often lumped together, but Brene Brown shares with us how different they truly are.

Sympathy is feeling “sorry” for someone. And although these intentions often come from a good place, it actually further isolates the individual. It creates a deeper divide.

Empathy, on the other hand, is free of judgment. It’s sincerely listening, fully present in the moment for another. What is not, is a “diagnosis”. Instead of being there to fix you, it’s being there *with* you.

Rarely can a response make something immediately better. Actions can follow at another time. Often enough, what does make something better, is connection.

When was the last time you expressed empathy?
