Empathy vs Sympathy - which one is more useful?
It has been really bothering me that we have "empath" as a trendy word but not "sympath" which imo is a much more useful and a more common trait of the two.
Someone feeling my feelings isn't necessarily all that useful and frankly very exclusive but someone understanding it is useful and much more diverse and inclusive.
Sympath should be a thing!
